Parallel functional reduction in the mitochondria of apicomplexan parasites
Eur J Protistol. 2024 Mar 9;94:126065. doi: 10.1016/j.ejop.2024.126065. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExtreme functional reduction of mitochondria has taken place in parallel in many distantly related lineages of eukaryotes, leading to a number of recurring metabolic states with variously lost electron transport chain (ETC) complexes, loss of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and/or loss of the mitochondrial genome. The resulting mitochondria-related organelles (MROs) are generally structurally reduced and in the most extreme cases barely recognizable features of the cell with no role in energy metabolism whatsoever (e.g...

Redescription and molecular phylogeny of Trochilia sigmoides Dujardin, 1841 (Ciliophora, Cyrtophoria) collected from South Korea
Eur J Protistol. 2024 Feb 28;93:126067. doi: 10.1016/j.ejop.2024.126067. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring a survey of Korean marine ciliates, Trochilia sigmoides, the type species of the genus Trochilia, was collected and examined using in vivo observation and protargol impregnation. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy and 18S rRNA gene sequencing have been applied for the first time to study this species. Morphologically, T. sigmoides is characterized by the small body size, the oval body outline, and the spiral dorsal ridges. The Korean population of T. sigmoides shows only minute differences to other populations ...

Minimal zoonotic risk of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis from frogs and reptiles
Eur J Protistol. 2024 Feb 28;93:126066. doi: 10.1016/j.ejop.2024.126066. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe zoonotic potential of the protist parasites Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in amphibians and reptiles raises public health concerns due to their growing popularity as pets. This review examines the prevalence and diversity of these parasites in wild and captive amphibians and reptiles to better understand the zoonotic risk. Research on Giardia in both groups is limited, and zoonotic forms of Cryptosporidium or Giardia have not been reported in amphibians. Host-adapted Cryptosporidium species dominate in r...
