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...

Molecular detection and viability discrimination of zoonotic protozoan pathogens in oysters and seawater
Int J Food Microbiol. 2023 Sep 11;407:110391. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110391. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe presence of foodborne protozoan pathogens including Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia duodenalis, Toxoplasma gondii, and Cyclospora cayetanensis in commercial shellfish has been reported across diverse geographical regions. In the present study, a novel multiplex nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was validated to simultaneously detect and discriminate these four targeted parasites in oyster tissues including whole tissue homogenate, digestive gland, gills, and hemolymph, as well as seawater where...

The Parasites of Cats in T ürkiye
Turkiye Parazitol Derg. 2023 Sep 18;47(3):190-199. doi: 10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.85698.ABSTRACTCats have an important and different place due to their close relationships with humans. Since most of the parasites they carry are zoonotic, it is important to detect them. According to the research, Dipylidium caninum, Joyeuxiella pasqualei, Toxocara spp., Toxascaris leonina, Giardia spp., Isospora spp., and Toxoplasma sp. were found to be higher in cats compared to other parasites. It has been determined that scabies and flea infestations are common as ectoparasites. This review aims to present the reported parasites and their...
