Hsp90 and associates shaping parasite biology
mSphereHsp90 is considered to be the master regulator of chaperone activity within the cellular context. In addition to aiding client maturation and maintaining protein homeostasis, Hsp90 serves various non-canonical functions in model eukaryotes: ranging from ...

The role of extracellular vesicles in Plasmodium and other protozoan parasites
, 2014 Protozoan parasites and other microorganisms use various pathways to communicate within their own populations and to manipulate their outside environments, with the ultimate goal of balancing the rate of growth and transmission.

Protozoan Parasite Auxotrophies and Metabolic Dependencies
, 2018 Diseases caused by protozoan parasites have a major impact on world health. These early branching eukaryotes cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans and livestock. During evolution, protozoan parasites have evolved toward complex life cycles in multiple host organisms with different nutritional resources.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1574-1602, November 2026.ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

A survey on protozoan blood parasites in frogs (Rana sp. and Bufo sp.)
, 1997 Two hundred blood samples from a total of 100 Rana sp. and 100 Bufo sp. were collected from Obando, Bulacan. Thin blood smears were examined for blood protozoan parasites. Protozoan parasites similar to Haemogregarina sp.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.A One Health molecular investigation of Cryptosporidium across humans, animals and the environment revealed the circulation of multiple zoonotic species and subtypes within a shared ecosystem. Molecular characterisation and phylogenetic analysis highlighted transmission at the human–animal–environment interface. The findings emphasise the importance of

Pro- and anti-apoptotic activities of protozoan parasites
, 2006 During infection, programmed cell death, i.e. apoptosis, is an important effector mechanism of innate and adaptive host responses to parasites. In addition, it fulfils essential functions in regulating host immunity and tissue homeostasis.

No Trace of Blastocystis Parasite in Bats Caught in the Western and Southwestern Regions of Iran
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.Despite screening 115 bats across four dominant species (Miniopterus pallidus, Myotis blythii, Rhinopoma microphyllum, and Rhinolophus euryale) from five caves in western and southwestern Iran using PCR, no evidence of Blastocystis infection was found, suggesting these bats are not current reservoirs for this parasite in this region.
