Pathogens, 2023 Acanthamoeba spp. is the etiological agent of amoebic keratitis. In this study, the effect of taurine in physiological concentrations in tears (195 μM) on trophozoites of Acanthamoeba castellanii through the ex vivo amoebic keratitis model was evaluated.

Plasmodium vivax trophozoite-stage proteomes [PDF]
Journal of Proteomics, 2015 Plasmodium vivax is the causative infectious agent of 80-300 million annual cases of malaria. Many aspects of this parasite's biology remain unknown. To further elucidate the interaction of P. vivax with its Saimiri boliviensis host, we obtained detailed proteomes of infected red blood cells, representing the trophozoite-enriched stage of development ...

Respiration in the Cysts and Trophozoites of Giardia muris [PDF]
Microbiology, 1989 Cysts and trophozoites of the parasitic protozoon Giardia muris both showed respiratory activity but respiration in cysts was only 10 to 20% that of trophozoites. The O2 dependence of respiration in cysts and trophozoites showed O2 maxima above which respiration decreased.

Opsonization in vitro of Giardia lamblia trophozoites [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1981 The ability of peritoneal rabbit macrophages from immunized and nonimmunized animals to phagocytose Giardia lamblia trophozoites in the presence of serum was studied and compared in an in vitro system. The rabbits which served as the source of immune serum and macrophages were injected repeatedly at multiple sites (intramuscularly, subcutaneously, and ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyIntroductionNaegleria fowleri is the etiologic agent of primary acute meningoencephalitis (PAM). Although this amoeba is commonly found in water and soil, reports of infections are rare; problems with diagnosis probably contribute to underestimation ...

Lectin Activity in Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1980 A lectin (carbohydrate-binding protein) has been found in extracts of a number of axenically grown trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica strains. The strains grown in TYI-S-33 medium (Diamond et al., Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg. 72: 431-432, 1978) were HK-9, 200:NIH, and HM-1:IMSS.
