Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 110(9), 551-557. https://doi.org/10.1093/trstmh/trw064

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that causes significant disease in humans. Toxoplasmosis is normally asymptomatic, unless associated with congenital transmission, or in immunocompromised people. Congenital transmission generally occurs...

Trehalose, an easy, safe and efficient cryoprotectant for the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei (2016)
Journal Article

Trehalose, a non-permeating cryoprotective agent (CPA), has been documented as less toxic and highly efficient at cryopreserving different kinds of cells or organisms. In the present study, trehalose was evaluated for its application in cryopreservat...

The origin and evolution of small RNA molecules is a long-standing mystery. The protozoa represent the earliest eukaryotes and encompass rich diverse genetic resources. However, there are many contradictions and disputes prevalent in studies on proto... Read More about Different types of small RNAs in protozoa.

Infection, genetics and evolution (Online), 41, 56-62. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meegid.2016.03.022

The subgenus Trypanozoon includes three species Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma evansi and Trypanosoma equiperdum, which are morphologically identical and indistinguishable even using some molecular methods. In this study, PCR-based single strand con...

The parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, is a highly successful pathogen that infects around 30% of the global human population. Additionally, it is able to infect all warm blooded animals with high prevalence. This is surprising as it is a parasite of the c...
