Diplostomum‐Induced Sac Formation in Lenses of Ameiurus Bullheads: A Host Defence Response?

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trematodes of the genus Diplostomum (Diplostomidae) are widely distributed and significant fish pathogens known for causing a range of negative effects. Any mechanism that protects the host from the parasite thus represents an evolutionary advantage.

Dad's legacy: Epigenetic reprogramming and paternal inflammatory memory in offspring health

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past decade, numerous reports have highlighted intergenerational and even transgenerational epigenetic effects resulting from parental exposure to diets, toxins, and stress. In many cases, these parentally induced phenotypes do not seem to confer an obvious benefit, making it challenging to understand the evolutionary drivers behind ...

Protein synthesis in mitochondria isolated from the trypanosomatid protozoan Crithidia fasciculata [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1998
Evidence presented over the years in support of mitochondrial translation in trypanosomes, based largely on studies using differential inhibitors such as cycloheximide and chloramphenicol, remains controversial. I have studied endogenous mRNA‐dependent translation in a mitochondrial fraction isolated from the trypanosomatid protozoan Crithidia ...

Steroid‐responsive generalised sterile necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis in a cat

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
A 1.5‐year‐old neutered male cat was presented with fever, inappetence, lethargy and marked generalised lymphadenopathy of 4 days duration. Excisional biopsy of peripheral lymph nodes revealed necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis. Extensive investigation failed to identify an underlying infectious [bacterial (Bartonella, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma,

Sexual Selection on Non‐Ornamental Traits Is Underpinned by Evidence of Genetic Constraints on Sex‐Biased Expression in Dusky Pipefish

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Species lacking distinct secondary sex characteristics, such as differences in size or morphology, are often thought to experience lower levels of sex‐specific selection in comparison to highly sexually dimorphic organisms. However, monomorphism in classic visible traits could be a result of genetic or physiological constraints that prevent ...

Evidence for a Role of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus gallolyticus in the Aetiology of Exudative Cloacitis in the Critically Endangered Kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The kākāpō is a critically endangered flightless parrot which suffers from exudative cloacitis, a debilitating disease resulting in inflammation of the vent margin or cloaca. Despite this disease emerging over 20 years ago, the cause of exudative cloacitis remains elusive.

Mechanisms of enteric neuropathy in diverse contexts of gastrointestinal dysfunction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Abstract The enteric nervous system (ENS) commands moment‐to‐moment gut functions through integrative neurocircuitry housed in the gut wall. The functional continuity of ENS networks is disrupted in enteric neuropathies and contributes to major disturbances in normal gut activities including abnormal gut motility, secretions, pain, immune dysregulation,

The past, present and future of fluorescent protein tags in anaerobic protozoan parasites

Parasitology, 2015
SUMMARYThe world health organization currently recognizes diarrhoeal diseases as a significant cause of death in children globally. Protozoan parasites such asGiardiaandEntamoebathat thrive in the oxygen-deprived environment of the human gut are common etiological agents of diarrhoea.

Successful Management of Presumed Reactivation of Neospora caninum Following Immunosuppression for Immune Thrombocytopenia in an Adult Doberman

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Positive serology titres for Neospora caninum in the absence of appropriate clinical signs is not diagnostic for protozoal disease. Acute deterioration while immunosuppressed should raise concerns over reactivation of encysted protozoa, particularly in dogs with a history of raw feeding. Successful management of N. caninum appears possible but requires

O‐GlcNAcylation of nuclear proteins in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii

The FASEB Journal, 2013
The protozoan pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is able to switch between two developmental stages: tachyzoites, which replicate rapidly and cause severe disease, and dormant, cyst‐forming bradyzoites, which persist in organs and show a tropism for central nervous tissue such as the brain.
