Humans and dogs commonly share the same domestic environment. Europe, and Italy specifically, have a substantial and growing dog population. Potentially zoonotic parasites may be harbored even by dogs receiving regular veterinary care. Thus, transmission of zoonotic or potentially zoonotic parasit es to owners and their families should not be underestimated. Frequently, endoparasite infections occur as a subclinical infection and clinicopa...

Giardia VSPAS7 protein attenuates Giardia intestinalis-induced host macrophage pyroptosis
The unicellular protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis, which primarily infects humans and animals such as cattle and sheep, is having a major negative impact on public health. Giardia is able to evade the recog... (Source: Parasites and Vectors)

BackgroundEntamoeba histolytica,Giardia, andCryptosporidium are common intestinal protozoan parasites that contribute to a high burden of childhood morbidity and mortality. Our study quantified the association between intestinal protozoan parasites and child anthropometric outcomes among children under-5. MethodsWe analyzed data from 7,800 children enrolled in the Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) across seven study site...

Phylogenetic and morphological diversity of free-living diplomonads
Eur J Protistol. 2023 Sep 15;91:126024. doi: 10.1016/j.ejop.2023.126024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiplomonadida is a lineage of anaerobic protists belonging to Fornicata, Metamonada. Most diplomonads are endobiotic or parasitic, such as Giardia intestinalis, which is a famous human pathogen, but several free-living species exist as well. Although it has been proposed that the free-living diplomonads are descendants of endobiotic organisms and thus interesting from the evolutionary point of view, they have been largely neglected. We obtained 58 cultures of free-living diplomonads belonging to four genera (Hexamita, Tre...
