MAT Seroprevalence infers low rates of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic pigs from Yucatan, Mexico (2019)
Journal Article
Cubas-Atienzar, A., Hide, G., & Smith, J. (2019). MAT Seroprevalence infers low rates of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic pigs from Yucatan, Mexico. Journal of Parasitology, 105(5), 738-747. https://doi.org/10.1645/18-188

Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of worldwide distribution. The consumption of infected pork meat has been suggested to be an important source for human infection in the tropical area of Yucatan, Mexico. We performed a cross-sectional study o...

High frequency of infection of lung cancer patients with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (2019)
Journal Article
Bajnok, J., Tarabulsi, M., Carlin, H., Bown, K., Southworth, T., Dungwa, J., …Hide, G. (2019). High frequency of infection of lung cancer patients with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. ERJ Open Research, 5(2), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1183/23120541.00143-2018

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that can cause a wide range of clinical conditions, including miscarriage and pneumonia. The global prevalence is 30% in humans but varies locally (e.g. UK is typically 10%). The association be...

The association between Toxoplasma gondii infection and postpartum blues (2019)
Journal Article
Gao, J., He, Z., Xie, Y., Hide, G., Lai, D., & Lun, Z. (2019). The association between Toxoplasma gondii infection and postpartum blues. Journal of Affective Disorders, 250, 404-409. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2019.03.013

Introduction and Aim: Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite infecting approximately 30% of the global human population. It has often been suggested that chronic infection with T. gondii is related to personality changes and vario...

Cell cycle and cleavage events during in vitro cultivation of bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma lewisi, a zoonotic pathogen (2019)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Li, S., Li, Z., He, C., Hide, G., Lai, D., & Lun, Z. (2019). Cell cycle and cleavage events during in vitro cultivation of bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma lewisi, a zoonotic pathogen. Cell Cycle, 18(5), 552-567. https://doi.org/10.1080/15384101.2019.1577651

Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) lewisi is a globally distributed rat trypanosome, currently considered as a zoonotic pathogen; however, a detailed understanding of the morphological events occurring during the cell cycle is lacking. This study aimed to inv... Read More about Cell cycle and cleavage events during in vitro cultivation of bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma lewisi, a zoonotic pathogen.
