High frequency detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in human neonatal tissue from Libya (2016)
Journal Article

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... Read More about High frequency detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in human neonatal tissue from Libya.

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.

Further evidence from SSCP and ITS DNA sequencing support Trypanosoma evansi and Trypanosoma equiperdum as subspecies or even strains of Trypanosoma brucei (2016)
Journal Article

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...

Current status of Clonorchis sinensis and clonorchiasis in China (2016)
Journal Article

The oriental liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis, a pathogen causing clonorchiasis, is of major socio-economic importance
in East Asia, including China, Korea and Vietnam. This parasite is nowrecognized as a biocarcinogen strongly
linked to cholangioc... Read More about Current status of Clonorchis sinensis and clonorchiasis in China.
