Molecular identification and genotype distribution of Acanthamoeba in environmental water.

First Molecular and Physiological Characterization of Free-Living Amoebae from Environmental Water Sources in Honduras

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous protozoa with pathogenic potential that also serve as environmental reservoirs for bacteria of public health importance. Owing to the lack of information on their occurrence in Honduras, this study aimed to isolate and characterize FLA from environmental water sources using morp...

Potential zoonotic transmission and environmental factors associated with Blastocystis sp. occurrence in wild roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) from Central Poland

Blastocystis is one of the most common protists colonizing the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyze the occurrence of Blastocystis in wild roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) from Central Poland, as well as to determine its zoonotic potential and the influen...

A One Health Molecular Investigation and Exploratory Epidemiological Analysis of Cryptosporidium spp. in A Shared Human‐Animal Ecosystem

ABSTRACT Introduction Cryptosporidium spp. are enteric protozoan parasites of public health importance, particularly in low‐resource settings where humans, animals and environmental water sources frequently interact. This study investigated the prevalence, molecular diversity and environmental exposure‐related variable...

Phylogenetic Analysis of the Most Common Chicken Coccidia, Eimeria acervulina, Isolated From Commercial Poultry Farms in Bangladesh

ABSTRACT Background Eimeria acervulina is the predominant species of coccidia infecting chickens worldwide, leading to significant production losses. The study explores molecular detection and phylogenetic relationships of E. acervulina in poultry farms of Bangladesh. Methods A total of 206 microscopically positive fae...

Determination of Genotype Isolates of Human and Sheep Hydatid Cyst in Ilam

Evidence of Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei in environmental reservoirs and macrofaunal carriers from shrimp aquaculture ecosystems of south West India.

The results support the presence of EHP-associated DNA in both macrofauna and environmental matrices in aquaculture environments, but the limited sample sizes preclude strong conclusions about relative detection rates or the strength of any association between EHP DNA and sample types.
