6. Characterization of secreted Giardia intestinalis cysteine proteases
Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis, the causative agent of the diarrheal disease giardiasis, is a protozoan parasite that colonizes the upper small intestine of mammals, including humans. It can be divided into eight genotypes or assemblages (A through H) and only assemblage A and B are infective to humans. LÄS MER
7. Immunodominant proteins in Giardia lamblia
Sammanfattning : The protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia is a major cause of diarrhoea in humans and other mammals. Infection starts by ingestion of infectious cysts that excyst in the upper part of the small intestine and attach to intestinal epithelial cells. LÄS MER
8. Genetic subtypes in unicellular intestinal parasites with special focus on Blastocystis
Sammanfattning : The development of molecular tools for detection and typing of unicellular intestinal parasites has revealed genetic diversities in species that were previously considered as distinct entities. Of great importance is the genetic distinction found between the pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica and the non-pathogenic Entamoeba dispar, two morphologically indistinguishable species. LÄS MER
9. Deradicalising Giardiasis Treatment
Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis is a unicellular parasite causing the disease giardiasis. This disease is mostly prevalent in low resource settings, mandating low-cost treatment options. LÄS MER
10. Pathogenesis and Cell Biology of the Salmon Parasite Spironucleus salmonicida
Sammanfattning : Spironucleus species are classified as diplomonad organisms, diverse eukaryotic flagellates found in oxygen-deprived environments. Members of Spironucleus are parasitic and can infect a variety of hosts, such as mice and birds, while the majority are found to infect fish. LÄS MER
