Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Transcriptome analysis of the effect of C-C chemokine receptor 5 deficiency on cell response to Toxoplasma gondii in brain cells

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Infection with Toxoplasma gondii is thought to damage the brain and be a risk factor for neurological and psychotic disorders. The immune response-participating chemokine system has recently been considered vital for brain cell signaling and ...

Biochemical and structural characterisation of a protozoan beta-carbonic anhydrase from Trichomonas vaginalis

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2020
We report the biochemical and structural characterisation of a beta-carbonic anhydrase (β-CA) from Trichomonas vaginalis, a unicellular parasite responsible for one of the world’s leading sexually transmitted infections, trichomoniasis.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Intestinal protozoans in adults with diarrhea

North American Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
Diarrhea is one of the most common presenting complaints in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals.The study was designed to determine the magnitude of opportunistic and nonopportunistic intestinal parasitic infections among diarrheal patients and association between CD4(+) T-cell counts and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected ...

Impact of climate on Australian, non‐Vector‐borne infectious animal diseases: A scoping review

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Changes to Australia's climate continue to be increasingly relevant for human, animal and planetary health, and have far‐reaching impacts on disease emergence and food security. There is a deficit of knowledge in Australia around how climatic conditions are affecting infectious animal diseases, beyond the more obvious spatial distribution changes of ...

High efficacy in vitro selection procedure for generating transgenic parasites of Plasmodium berghei using an antibiotic toxic to rodent hosts

Scientific Reports, 2017
The malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei is one of the main rodent malaria models. A shortcoming of this model parasite is its low flexibility in genetic manipulation.

Computed tomographic diagnosis and treatment of pneumolabyrinth in a mare with temporohyoid osteoarthropathy

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Pneumolabyrinth, which is the presence of gas within the labyrinth of the inner ear, can be associated with severe peripheral vestibular signs. This report describes a case of pneumolabyrinth in a horse that presented with vestibular ataxia. An 8‐year‐old Quarter Horse mare that presented with cranial nerve VII deficits underwent a standing ...

Hsp70 diversification and repurposing across the tree of life: Lessons from the evolutionary and mechanistic trajectory of the Hsp70–Hsp110 chaperone system

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Evolutionary and mechanistic divergence in the Hsp70–Hsp110 chaperone system. Prokaryotic Hsp70s probably diversified into multiple orthologues that cooperated with co‐chaperones such as JDPs and NEF, forming increasingly complex proteostasis networks.

Genome-wide identification and functional analysis of metallothionein family genes in response to cadmium/copper exposure in the unicellular eukaryote Paramecium

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Metallothioneins (MTs) comprise an exceptionally heterogeneous protein family with cysteine-rich domains playing crucial roles in metal detoxification for eukaryotes, including protists.
