The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

Metazoan-protozoan parasite co-infections and host body weight in St Kilda Soay sheep [PDF]
, 2008 For hundreds of years, the unmanaged Soay sheep population on St Kilda has survived despite enduring presumably deleterious co-infections of helminth, protozoan and arthropod parasites and intermittent periods of starvation.

Evidence for Previously Unidentified Sexual Transmission of Protozoan Parasites
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 Knowing the mode of transmission of a disease can affect its control and prevention. Here, we identify 5 protozoan parasites with demonstrated presence in seminal fluid, only 1 of which has been identified as a sexually transmitted disease among humans.

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.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Protein import into mitochondria relies on TIM complexes and the membrane potential. Trypanosoma brucei has a unique TIM complex, and the role of one subunit, TbTim20, has remained unclear. Here, we show that TbTim20 is essential in cells lacking mitochondrial DNA. The importance of TbTim20 increases as the membrane potential decreases.

The structural, functional, and therapeutic potential of metacaspases in fungi and protozoa
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Metacaspases are Ca2+‐dependent cysteine proteases whose structural characteristics, particularly calcium binding and autocatalytic processing, govern their activation and biological functions. These enzymes differ among microorganisms and regulate their cell cycles, making them excellent targets for drug development.

Prevalence of Protozoa and Gastrointestinal Helminthes in Stray Cats in Zanjan Province, North-West of Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2009 Background: Cats and other felines act as definitive hosts for many intestinal parasites, some of which are responsible for several zoonotic diseases.

Isolation, identification and prevalence of parasites on Oreochromis niloticus from three selected river systems [PDF]
, 2010 The prevailence of protozoan and helminthic parasite species occurring on and in the internal organs of Oreochromis niloticus were studied. Twenty samples of a mixture of adult and juvenile individuals of Oreochromis niloticus were randomly obtained from

The glyoxalase pathway in protozoan parasites
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2012 The glyoxalase system is the main catabolic route for methylglyoxal, a non-enzymatic glycolytic byproduct with toxic and mutagenic effects. This pathway includes two enzymes, glyoxalase I and glyoxalase II, which convert methylglyoxal to d-lactate by using glutathione as a catalytic cofactor.
