Epidemiology of parasitic protozoan infections in Soay sheep (Ovis aries L.) on St Kilda [PDF]

, 2006
The feral Soay sheep (Ovis aries L.) population on Hirta, St Kilda, is host to a diverse component parasite community, but previous parasitological studies of the population have only focussed on the metazoan species.

Detection of protozoan hosts for Legionella pneumophila in engineered water systems by using a biofilm batch test [PDF]

, 2010
Legionella pneumophila proliferates in aquatic habitats within free-living protozoa, 17 species of which have been identified as hosts by using in vitro experiments. The present study aimed at identifying protozoan hosts for L.

Role of the chemokine receptor CCR5-dependent host defense system in Neospora caninum infections

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Neospora caninum, a Toxoplasma gondii-like obligate intracellular parasite, causes abortion in cattle and neurological signs in canines. To understand neosporosis better, studies on host cell migration and host immune responses during the ...

High-resolution genotyping and mapping of recombination and gene conversion in the protozoan Theileria parva using whole genome sequencing [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Theileria parva is a tick-borne protozoan parasite, which causes East Coast Fever, a disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Like Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite undergoes a transient diploid life-cycle stage in the gut of the arthropod ...
