Internalization of Mycobacterium shottsii and Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii by Acanthamoeba polyphaga
Amoebae serve as environmental hosts to a variety of mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium marinum. Mycobacterium shottsii and Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii are waterborne species isolated from... -
From:Science (Vol. 249, Issue 4969) Peer-ReviewedToxoplasma gondii: Fusion Competence of Parasitophorous Vacuoles in Fc Receptor--Transfected Fibroblasts Toxoplasma gondii IS A PROTOZOAN PARASITE THAT IS PARTICULARLY adept at productively infecting mammalian cells....

From:Review of Optometry (Vol. 145, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAcanthamoeba is a ubiquitous, microscopic, free-living amoeba. In water, it has been isolated from many sources including tap water, bottled mineral water, distilled water, sterile intravenous saline, drinking...
-
From:American Zoologist (Vol. 39, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe heat shock response in kinetoplastid protozoa is distinguished from the stress response of the metazoa and yeasts by a lack of regulated transcription and by the failure to respond to stresses other than heat. The...

From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 196, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe molecular and ultrastructural evidence supporting the substantial changes to the high-level classification of the kingdom Protozoa, which is one of the six kingdoms in the tree of life, and the phylogenetic ideas...
-
From:Science (Vol. 276, Issue 5319) Peer-ReviewedResearchers are using the transposable element mariner to study the genetics of Leishmania, a parasitic protozoan that causes leishmaniasis. Mariner is the most widely distributed transposable element in animal...
-
From:Oceanus (Vol. 39, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBiologists and chemists are trying to determine how marine phytoplankton are able to satisfy their nutritional needs for iron. Dissolved iron concentrations in the oceans are in very low supply because the element is...
-
From:BioMed Research InternationalPeer-ReviewedFlagellated protozoa that cause bronchopulmonary symptoms in humans are commonly neglected. These protozoal forms which were presumed to be "flagellated protozoa" have been previously identified in immunosuppressed...
