Species interactions in a parasite community drive infection risk in a wildlife population
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2010-10)
Most hosts, including humans, are simultaneously or sequentially infected with several parasites. A key question is whether patterns of coinfection arise because infection by one parasite species affects susceptibility to ...
Unveiling the role of EVs in anaerobic parasitic protozoa
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-05)
The anaerobic or microaerophilic protozoan parasites such as the enteric human pathogens Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia intestinalis, Cryptosporidium parvum, Blastocystis hominis and urogenital tract parasites Trichomonas ...
Diseases and parasites of wild and cultivated mussels along the Patagonian coast of Argentina, southwest Atlantic Ocean
(Inter-Research, 2020-05)
A histological survey of the commercially edible mussels Mytilus platensis and M. chilensis from wild and cultivated populations along the coast of Patagonia, Argentina (42°00’ to 54°47’S), was carried out to determine ...
Thrombospondin related anonymous protein superfamily in vector-borne apicomplexans: the parasite’s toolkit for cell invasion
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)
Apicomplexan parasites transmitted by vectors, including Babesia spp. and Plasmodium spp., cause severe disease in both humans and animals. These parasites have a complex life cycle during which they migrate, invade, and ...
Avian host composition, local speciation and dispersal drive the regional assembly of avian malaria parasites in South American birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-05)
Identifying the ecological factors that shape parasite distributions remains a central goal in disease ecology. These factors include dispersal capability, environmental filters and geographic distance. Using 520 haemosporidian ...
Progresses in the field of drug design to combat tropical protozoan parasitic diseases
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2006-02)
The progresses made in the field of drug design to combat tropical protozoan parasitic diseases, such as Chagas' disease, leishmaniasis, and sleeping sickness are discussed. This article is focused on different approaches ...
Potential parasitic infections transmitted by seafood in ancient populations from Patagonia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-12)
Several foodborne diseases have been described in coastal populations from the past, many of them including parasitic infections related to marine diets. Considering this background, the strong relationship between ...
Trypanosoma cruzi invasion in non-phagocytic cells: an ultrastructural study
(Instituto de Histología y Embriología "Dr. Mario Burgos", 2018-12)
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease. This parasite requires the intracellular niche in order to proliferate and disseminate the infection. After invasion, T. cruzi resides temporarily in an acidic ...
An inverse latitudinal gradient in infection probability and phylogenetic diversity for Leucocytozoon blood parasites in New World birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
Geographic variation in environmental conditions as well as host traits that promote parasite transmission may impact infection rates and community assembly of vector-transmitted parasites. Identifying the ecological, ...
Use of Veterinary Vaccines for Livestock as a Strategy to Control Foodborne Parasitic Diseases
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-06-26)
Foodborne diseases (FBDs) are a major concern worldwide since they are associated with high mortality and morbidity in the human population. Among the causative agents of FBDs, Taenia solium, Echinococcus granulosus, ...
