The Defensive Interactions of Prominent Infectious Protozoan Parasites: The Host’s Complement System
Biomolecules, 2022 The complement system exerts crucial functions both in innate immune responses and adaptive humoral immunity. This pivotal system plays a major role dealing with pathogen invasions including protozoan parasites.

N-linked glycosylation of proteins in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2008 Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite of animal cells. Infection of humans is common and may result in devastating disease, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Despite previous reports that N-glycosylation of proteins may be a rare post-translational modification in this and related organisms, we demonstrate that it is ...

Zoonotic Malaria Risk in Serra Do Mar, Atlantic Forest, Brazil
Microorganisms, 2023 Here, the main goal is to assess natural infections of Plasmodium spp. in anophelines in a forest reserve from the same region where we previously found a surprisingly high rate (5.2%) of plasmodia infections (n = 25) in Kerteszia mosquitoes (N = 480) on

Protein acetylation in the critical biological processes in protozoan parasites [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2021 Protein lysine acetylation has emerged as a major regulatory post-translational modification in different organisms, present not only on histone proteins affecting chromatin structure and gene expression but also on nonhistone proteins involved in several cellular processes. The same scenario was observed in protozoan parasites after the description of

ProtVirDB: a database of protozoan virulent proteins [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2009 Abstract Summary: ProtVirDB is a comprehensive and user-friendly web-based knowledgebase of virulent proteins belonging to protozoan species. The database will facilitate research and provide an integrated platform for comparative studies of virulent proteins in different parasitic protozoans and organize them under a unifying ...
