First description of Blastocystis sp. and Entamoeba sp. infecting zoo animals in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau area, China

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Protozoan parasites are a well-known threat to human health, particularly for people working at or visiting zoos, and potentially cause zoonotic diseases in humans. Captive wildlife may be potential reservoirs for human infection with protozoan parasites.

Occurrence of health-compromising protozoan and helminth infections in tortoises kept as pet animals in Germany [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
BACKGROUND: Exotic reptiles such as tortoises, have become increasingly common domestic pets worldwide and are known to host different gastrointestinal parasites. Some of these parasites bear zoonotic potential. In the present survey, we parasitologically examined tortoise faecal samples (n = 1005) from 19 different species held as pets in private ...

Antibodies to variable surface antigens induce antigenic variation in the intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia

Nature Communications, 2023
The genomes of most protozoa encode families of variant surface antigens. In some parasitic microorganisms, it has been demonstrated that mutually exclusive changes in the expression of these antigens allow parasites to evade the host’s immune response ...
