ABSTRACT Microbiology, the study of microorganisms, is of critical importance to a variety of fields, including medicine, nursing, genetics, and immunology, as well as to students training to enter those fields. By defin...

Abstract Increased interaction between wild and urban environments owing to human population growth, increased anthropization of biomes, and habitat loss for wild animals increases the spread of infectious and parasitic ...

Cestode development involves complex morphological and physiological changes. Here, we performed a differential expression analysis of gene transcripts between two developmental stages of the model cestode Mesocestoides ...

In few groups of parasites have the patterns of distribution been studied using quantitative methods, even though, the study of these organisms indirectly provides information on the biogeographic history of their hosts,...

ABSTRACT Genus Eimeria is a group of obligate Protista parasites within phylum Apicomplexa that causes a major threat to animal production. Little information is available about the coccidia of pigeons. This study was un...

Parasitic worms have significant medical, veterinary and economic importance. Numerous studies have therefore addressed various aspects of parasitic worms’ biology. In contrast, the ploidy of parasitic worms remains co...

Abstract Tritrichomonas foetus is a parasite that has been definitively identified as an agent of trichomonosis, a disease characterized by chronic diarrhea. T. foetus colonizes portions of the feline large intestine, an...

Plasmodiophora brassicae, the obligate parasite responsible for clubroot in Brassica crops and other crucifers, poses a major challenge to sustainable disease management due to its biotrophic lifestyle and adaptability. ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, are key regulators of gene expression at post-transcriptional level and play essential roles in biological processes such as development. MiRNAs silence target mRNAs ...

Human babesiosis caused by the intraerythrocytic apicomplexan Babesia microti is an expanding tick-borne zoonotic disease that may cause severe symptoms and death in elderly or immunocompromised individuals. In light of ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Bangladesh has dramatically reduced its malaria burden since 2000, confining the disease to specific geographic zones. However, the national 2030 elimination goal is now threatened by a compl...

Abstract Ornithocoris toledoi is a hematophagous insect that parasites birds, particularly, galliformes. Although the occurrence of this arthropod is relatively low in Brazil, this is an important ectoparasite associated...

The oocysts of the coccidia are robust structures, frequently isolated from the feces or urine of their hosts, which provide resistance to mechanical damage and allow the parasites to survive and remain infective for pro...

The pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria is linked to the variant surface antigen PfEMP1, which mediates tethering of infected erythrocytes to the host endothelium and is encoded by approximately 60 var genes pe...

Abstract Background The ecdysone receptor (EcR) is a central regulator of mosquito physiology, best known for its role in vitellogenesis. However, its contribution to antiviral defense and dengue virus (DENV) replication...

Canine babesiosis is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia, primarily transmitted by ixodid ticks. The disease is widespread globally, including across most regions of Ukraine. Babesia...

Most intracellular parasites employ sophisticated mechanisms to direct biogenesis of a vacuolar replicative niche that circumvents default maturation through the endolysosomal cascade. However, this is not the case of th...

A set of oligonucleotide primers capable of initiating enzymatic amplification (polymerase chain reaction) on a phylogenetically and taxonomically wide range of bacteria is described along with methods for their use and ...

Tesis de Ingeniería En el presente trabajo se evaluó la aptitud de aislamientos bacterianos obtenidos de la rizosfera de festuca (Lolium arundinaceum), creciendo en bajos alcalinos, como potenciales biocontroladores de...

En el presente trabajo se realiza una revisión exhaustiva de distintos aspectos que se conocen hasta el momento del cestodo Gymnorhynchus gigas, parásito de la palometa o japuta (Brama raii), uno de los peces de mayor ...

El estudio de las poblaciones humanas antiguas es complejo y requiere de un enfoque interdisciplinario. La arqueología argentina está promoviendo el desarrollo de nuevas líneas de evidencias que incluyen espacios muy ...
