Genome evolution in intracellular parasites: Microsporidia and Apicomplexa

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied separately, emphasizing their uniqueness and diversity. In this review, we explore the huge amount of genomic data that has recently become available for the two groups. We

Leveraging topoisomerase II-mediated DNA damage: repurposing etoposide as a lead compound for apicomplexan parasite control

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Babesia and Theileria are microscopic parasites that infect livestock, leading to substantial economic losses. Current treatments are often limited by challenges such as drug resistance and incomplete parasite eradication.

The use of serum paraoxonase‐1 to assess inflammation in horses with colitis

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 358-368, September 2024.
Abstract Background Paraoxonase‐1 (PON‐1) has been suggested as a marker of inflammation and oxidative stress in horses and could potentially be used for prognostication in horses with colitis. Objectives Assessment of PON‐1 in horses with colitis and comparison of two methods. Methods Serum PON‐1 was measured by two methods (paraoxon and p‐nitrophenyl

Molecular detection of piroplasms in domestic donkeys in Xinjiang, China

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 4, July 2024.
1.This is the first report of the prevalence of piroplasms in domestic donkey in southern Xinjiang. 2.PCR assays and phylogenetic analysis were used to characterise the T. equi and B. caballi pathogens. 3.Four T. equi sequence genotypes were identified and the T. equi genotypes were exist regional distribution in southern Xinjiang.

Effect of leukoreduction on the metabolism of equine packed red blood cells during refrigerated storage

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 1185-1195, March/April 2024.
Abstract Background Understanding of the biochemical and morphological lesions associated with storage of equine blood is limited. Objective To demonstrate the temporal sequences of lipid and metabolic profiles of equine fresh and stored (up to 42 days) and leukoreduced packed red blood cells (LR‐pRBC) and non‐leukoreduced packed RBC (nLR‐pRBC ...
