Modulation of the Immune Response by Nematode Secreted Acetylcholinesterase Revealed by Heterologous Expression in Trypanosoma musculi. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Nematode parasites secrete molecules which regulate the mammalian immune system, but their genetic intractability is a major impediment to identifying and characterising the biological effects of these molecules.

Kinetoplast DNA structure, RNA editing patterns and small respiratory Complex I in Trypanosoma musculi [PDF]
Communications BiologyKinetoplast (k) DNA, a specialized form of mitochondrial DNA in trypanosomes, is composed of catenated maxicircles and minicircles, and is essential for the survival of these parasitic protists.

Macrophage function during Trypanosoma musculi infection in mice. [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1981 Quantitative and functional changes in peritoneal macrophages from mice infected with Trypanosoma musculi were investigated. Increase in the number and size and in the protein content of peritoneal macrophages and the presence of parasites in the peritoneal activity were observed during the course of parasitemia. Induced releases of H2O2 by macrophages

Chronic infection with Trypanosoma musculi in congenitally athymic nude mice. [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1977 Trypanosoma musculi produces a chronic infection with a consistently elevated parasitemia in nude mice. Thymic reconstitution of nude mice restores immunity to the infection.

Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up-to-date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae). [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Phoxinus minnows are small freshwater fish found throughout Eurasia. The taxonomy of this genus is still under investigation, and new species are regularly described. They are frequently introduced outside their native range due to their use as live bait for angling, and such fish introductions can have diverse impacts on the recipient areas ...

Shifting focus from resistance to disease tolerance: A review on hybrid house mice
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Our review shows evidence for hybrid vigor against in the house mouse hybrid zone. This vigor manifests in elevated resistance. We discuss that resistance is not necessarily a linked with fitness and argue that this research should switch its focus to tolerance.

Role of Gap Junctions and Hemichannels in Parasitic Infections
BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 In vertebrates, connexins (Cxs) and pannexins (Panxs) are proteins that form gap junction channels and/or hemichannels located at cell‐cell interfaces and cell surface, respectively. Similar channel types are formed by innexins in invertebrate cells.
