The Role of Ciliate Protozoa in the Rumen
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 First described in 1843, Rumen protozoa with their striking appearance were assumed to be important for the welfare of their host. However, despite contributing up to 50% of the bio-mass in the rumen, the role of protozoa in rumen microbial ecosystem ...

NcPuf1 Is a Key Virulence Factor in Neospora caninum
Pathogens, 2020 Background: Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan parasite that infects many mammals and particularly causes abortion in cattle. The key factors in its wide distribution are its virulence and ability to transform between tachyzoite and bradyzoite forms ...

Automated Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasites: A new hybrid approach and its benefits [PDF]
Computers in Biology and Medicine, Volume 123, August 2020, 103917, 2021 Intestinal parasites are responsible for several diseases in human beings. In order to eliminate the error-prone visual analysis of optical microscopy slides, we have investigated automated, fast, and low-cost systems for the diagnosis of human intestinal parasites.

Pushmepullyou: An efficient micro-swimmer [PDF]
New J. Phys. 7 234 (2005), 2005 The swimming of a pair of spherical bladders that change their volumes and mutual distance is efficient at low Reynolds numbers and is superior to other models of artificial swimmers. The change of shape resembles the wriggling motion known as {\it metaboly} of certain protozoa.

Intestinal Parasites Classification Using Deep Belief Networks [PDF]
, 2021 Currently, approximately $4$ billion people are infected by intestinal parasites worldwide. Diseases caused by such infections constitute a public health problem in most tropical countries, leading to physical and mental disorders, and even death to children and immunodeficient individuals.

Multiplexed Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay To Detect Intestinal Protozoa.
Analytical Chemistry, 2016 This work describes a proof-of-concept multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay with lateral flow readout that is capable of simultaneously detecting and differentiating DNA from any of the diarrhea-causing protozoa Giardia ...

Spliced Leader Trapping Reveals Widespread Alternative Splicing Patterns in the Highly Dynamic Transcriptome of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2021 Trans-splicing of leader sequences onto the 59ends of mRNAs is a widespread phenomenon in protozoa, nematodes and some chordates. Using parallel sequencing we have developed a method to simultaneously map 59splice sites and analyze the corresponding gene expression profile, that we term spliced leader trapping (SLT).

Effects of different drugs and hormone treatment on Toxoplasma gondii glutathione S-transferase 2
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Glutathione S-transferase (GST) in eukaryotic organisms has multiple functions such as detoxifying endogenous/exogenous harmful substances to protect cells from oxidative damage, participating in sterol synthesis and metabolism, and regulating

Transient superdiffusion and long-range correlations in the motility patterns of trypanosomatid flagellate protozoa [PDF]
PLoS ONE 11(3): e0152092 (2016), 2016 We report on a diffusive analysis of the motion of flagellate protozoa species. These parasites are the etiological agents of neglected tropical diseases: leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis, African sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei, and Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.
