Microneme Protein 6 Is Involved in Invasion and Egress by Neospora caninum

Pathogens, 2021
Background: Neospora caninum, is the etiological agent of neosporosis, an infection that causes abortions in cattle and nervous system dysfunction in dogs. Invasion and egress are the key steps of the pathogenesis of N. caninum infection.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal the essential nature of Rab1B in Toxoplasma gondii

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii encodes a dozen Rab proteins, which are parts of the small GTPase superfamily and regulate intracellular membrane trafficking.

Functional characterization of acyl-CoA binding protein in Neospora caninum

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Lipid metabolism is pivotal for the growth of apicomplexan parasites. Lipid synthesis requires bulk carbon skeleton acyl-CoAs, the transport of which depends on the acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP).

Biotinylation of the Neospora caninum parasitophorous vacuole reveals novel dense granule proteins

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular parasite that invades host cells and replicates within the parasitophorous vacuole (PV), which resists fusion with host cell lysosomal compartments. To modify the PV, the parasite secretes an array

Deletion of Toxoplasma Rhoptry Protein 38 (PruΔrop38) as a Vaccine Candidate for Toxoplasmosis in a Murine Model

Biomedicines, 2022
Toxoplasmosis is a serious zoonotic disease that threatens human and animal health. Here, we evaluated the vaccine potential of the deletion of Toxoplasma rhoptry protein 38 (PruΔrop38) through its pathogenicity and immunoprotective efficacy in mice ...

Rumen Protozoa Play a Significant Role in Fungal Predation and Plant Carbohydrate Breakdown

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The rumen protozoa, alongside fungi, comprise the eukaryotic portion of the rumen microbiome. Rumen protozoa may account for up to 50% of biomass, yet their role in this ecosystem remains unclear.

The Occurrence and Meta-Analysis of Investigations on Sarcocystis Infection among Ruminants (Ruminantia) in Mainland China

Animals, 2022
Sarcocystis is a zoonotic pathogen that threatens public health and the quality of food safety. To determine the Sarcocystis spp. prevalence in ruminants (Ruminantia) in China, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Protozoa populations are ecosystem engineers that shape prokaryotic community structure and function of the rumen microbial ecosystem

bioRxiv, 2020
Unicellular eukaryotes are an integral part of many microbial ecosystems where they interact with their surrounding prokaryotic community—either as predators or as mutualists.
