Differential expression of host invasion-associated genes by Sarcocystis calchasi in intermediate versus definitive hosts. [PDF]

PLoS One
Sarcocystis calchasi is a pathogenic apicomplexan parasite affecting avian species of several orders. To complete its heteroxenous life cycle, S. calchasi infects a wide range of avian intermediate hosts and accipitriform raptors serve as definitive ...

Effect of Long-Term Freezing on Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Titers for the Diagnosis of Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. [PDF]

J Vet Intern Med
ABSTRACT Background Long‐term freezing storage can alter the stability of proteins, thereby compromising accurate determination of indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) titers that support the diagnosis of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis. Objective Assess the effect of long‐term storage at −80°C on IFAT against S. neurona and N.

Lack of Sarcocystis neurona Antibody Response in Virginia Opossums (Didelphis virginiana) Fed Sarcocystis neurona–Infected Muscle Tissue [PDF]

Journal of Parasitology, 2006
Serum was collected from laboratory-reared Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) to determine whether experimentally infected opossums shedding Sarcocystis neurona sporocysts develop serum antibodies to S. neurona merozoite antigens. Three opossums were fed muscles from nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus), and 5 were fed muscles from ...

Toxoplasma ceramide synthases: Gene duplication, functional divergence, and roles in parasite fitness

The FASEB Journal, Volume 37, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
The Toxoplasma “pseudo” ceramide synthase (TgCerS2) defines a novel apicomplexan class of these essential enzymes. Abstract Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular apicomplexan protozoan parasite of both humans and animals that can cause fetal damage and abortion and severe disease in the immunosuppressed.

3′‐end mRNA processing within apicomplexan parasites, a patchwork of classic, and unexpected players

WIREs RNA, Volume 14, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
3' cleavage and polyadenylation of pre‐mRNA is associated to the m6A epitranscriptomic mark in Apicomplexan parasites. Abstract The 3′‐end processing of mRNA is a co‐transcriptional process that leads to the formation of a poly‐adenosine tail on the mRNA and directly controls termination of the RNA polymerase II juggernaut.
