| molecular phylogeny of toxoplasmatinae: comparison between inferences based on mitochondrial and apicoplast genetic sequences. | phylogenies within toxoplasmatinae have been widely investigated with different molecular markers. here, we studied molecular phylogenies of the toxoplasmatinae subfamily based on apicoplast and mitochondrial genes. partial sequences of apicoplast genes coding for caseinolytic protease (clpc) and beta subunit of rna polymerase (rpob), and mitochondrial gene coding for cytochrome b (cytb) were analyzed. laboratory-adapted strains of the closely related parasites sarcocystis falcatula and sarcocys ... | 2016 | 27007245 |
| molecular biological comparison of different besnoitia species and stages from different countries. | besnoitia besnoiti tissue cysts from a recent outbreak in cattle in germany were characterized with respect to their internal transcribed spacer regions 1, 2, and 18s rdna gene sequences. these results were compared with own sequences of an israelian isolate of b. besnoiti and of besnoitia jellisoni cystozoites stored for years in liquid nitrogen. furthermore, material was studied that was obtained from white mice (balb/c) that had been successfully infected by intraperitoneal infection of fresh ... | 2010 | 20135147 |
| biological and molecular characterization of besnoitia akodoni n.sp. (protozoa: apicomplexa) from the rodent akodon montensis in brazil. | the diversity among coccidian parasites of the genus besnoitia is incompletely known. of the eight currently described members of the genus, only b. jellisoni is known to parasitize a rodent host. here, we propose a new name, besnoitia akodoni, for the species initially isolated form the rodent akodon montensis in brazil. the tissue cysts of b. akodoni were up to 442 microm in diameter and bradyzoites were 8.4 x 1.4 microm in size. the bradyzoites contained enigmatic bodies, micronemes and rhopt ... | 2003 | 15266998 |
