Occurrence of Antibodies Anti‐Toxoplasma gondii in Captive Non‐Human Primates From Pernambuco State, Brazil

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildlife captive populations are important tools for threatened species conservation, and early identification of diseases must be prioritized. In this study, we test for the presence of anti‐Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in non‐human primates at a Zoo from Pernambuco State, Brazil.

Attenuation of Tau Hyperphosphorylation by Chronic Toxoplasma gondii Infection in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptide accumulation and tau protein‐mediated neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation is increasingly recognized as a major process associated with tau pathology. Chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection reduces amyloid accumulation in AD models through immune modulation, but its stage ...

Identification and characterization of a protozoan uncoupling protein in Acanthamoeba castellanii.

, 2000
An uncoupling protein (UCP) was identified in mitochondria from Candida parapsilosis (CpUCP), a non-fermentative parasitic yeast. CpUCP was immunodetected using polyclonal antibodies raised against plant UCP. Activity of CpUCP, investigated in mitochondria depleted of free fatty acids, was stimulated by linoleic acid (LA) and inhibited by GTP. Activity
