Cell Cycle-Dependent Flagellar Disassembly in a Firebug Trypanosomatid
mBio, 2019 Current understanding of flagellum/cilium length regulation focuses on a few model organisms with flagella of uniform length. Leptomonas pyrrhocoris is a monoxenous trypanosomatid parasite of firebugs. When cultivated in vitro, L.

Oikos, EarlyView.Shared flowers can facilitate pathogen transmission between managed honey bees and wild bees, yet this process remains poorly understood in ecosystems undergoing rapid environmental change. Using a glacier foreland in Switzerland, we present the first study on how glacier retreat stages and bee life‐history traits influence pathogen occurrence across ...

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Iron Uptake Controls Trypanosoma cruzi Metabolic Shift and Cell Proliferation
Antioxidants, 2023 (1) Background: Ionic transport in Trypanosoma cruzi is the object of intense studies. T. cruzi expresses a Fe-reductase (TcFR) and a Fe transporter (TcIT).

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.The mitochondrial membrane‐shaping machinery MICOS is assembled surprisingly early during the life cycle of Trypanosoma brucei, before the mitochondrion acquires its mature architecture or full respiratory capacity. Our study also identifies two previously uncharacterized proteins associated with MICOS, providing new insight into the early organization

Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1686-1701, October 2026.ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...

Telomere biology of trypanosomatids: more questions than answers
, 2015 Trypanosomatids, are severe pathogens in developing countries, where they affect both humans and domestic animals. Factors intrinsic to the host,the toxicity or subcurative effects of the available antiparasite medication and the low perspective of ...

Validating Wing Biopsies for Blood‐Borne Pathogen Characterization in Bats
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.ABSTRACT Wildlife surveillance is critical for tracking disease emergence, characterizing pathogen diversity, and assessing spillover risks. Blood‐borne pathogens are of particular interest for such efforts due to their global distribution, broad host taxa, and zoonotic potential.
