Intracellular Ca2+ Signaling in Protozoan Parasites: An Overview with a Focus on Mitochondria

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Ca2+ signaling has been involved in controling critical cellular functions such as activation of proteases, cell death, and cell cycle control. The endoplasmatic reticulum plays a significant role in Ca2+ storage inside the cell, but mitochondria have ...

Protozoan parasite aquaporins

Expert Review of Proteomics, 2009
Protozoan parasites are a major threat to human health with millions of fatalities worldwide, especially in nonindustrialized countries. Currently, there is no cure for many of these parasitic diseases. Consequently, there is an imperative to find treatment targets and develop novel drugs based on the proteins encoded in the genomes of these parasites.

Foodborne protozoan parasites

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2005
This report addresses Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Cyclospora, and more briefly, Toxoplasma as the main parasitic protozoa of concern to food production worldwide. Other parasitic protozoa may be spread in food or water but are not considered as great a risk to food manufacture.

Mucins in protozoan parasites

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2001
Studies on host-pathogen interactions have led to the discovery of various cell surface associated and secretory molecules. Mucins and mucin-like molecules have recently been described in several protozoan parasites, at different stages of the life cycle.

Protozoan Parasites

Pediatrics In Review, 2016
• Stool antigen detection for Cryptosporidium sp, Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica are now commercially available, have better sensitivity and specificity than the traditional stool microscopy, and are less dependent on personnel skill.

The glyoxalase pathway in protozoan parasites

open access: yesInternational 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.

The Topoisomerases of Protozoan Parasites

Parasitology Today, 2000
Protozoan parasites are responsible for a wide range of debilitating and fatal diseases that are proving notoriously difficult to treat. Many of the standard chemotherapies in use today are expensive, have toxic side effects and, in some cases have marginal efficacy because of the emergence of drug-resistant parasites.

Update on protozoan parasites of the intestine

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2002
The last year has seen new approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of protozoal infections of the gastrointestinal tract. Some of the news is not good: new foodborne and swimming pool outbreaks of cyclosporiasis and cryptosporidiosis, respectively, occurred in North America; paromomycin was shown to be ineffective treatment for ...

Calcium regulation in protozoan parasites

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003
The calcium ion (Ca(2+)) is used as a major signaling molecule in a diverse range of eukaryotic cells including several human parasitic protozoa, such as Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, Leishmania spp, Plasmodium spp, Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and Trichomonas vaginalis.

The protozoan parasites

2008
Transmission of infectious agents by blood transfusion has been an ongoing concern of transfusion medicine for decades. For years, the focus of concern has appropriately been on a variety of viral agents (e.g. HIV, hepatitis viruses, West Nile virus) that are known to pose blood safety risks.
