ABSTRACT. The structure and infectivity of the oocysts of a new species of
Cryptosporidium from the feces of humans are described. Oocysts are structurally
indistinguishable from those of Cryptosporidium parvum. Oocysts of the new
species are passed fully sporulated, lack sporocysts, and measure 4.4–5.4 μm
(mean = 4.86) × 4.4–5.9 μm (mean = 5.2μm) with a length to width ratio 1.0–1.09
(mean 1.07) ... hiện toàn bộ
Cryptosporidium Species and Genotypes in HIV‐Positive Patients in Lima, PeruJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology - Tập 50 Số s1 - Trang 531-533 - 2003

ABSTRACT: Cryptosporidium parasites from a cross‐sectional study conducted in
two national hospitals in Lima, Peru were genetically characterized to deteimine
the diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in HIV‐positive people. A total of 2,672
patients participated in this study and provided 13,937 specimens.
Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected by microscopy in 354 (13.3%) of the
patients. Analysis of... hiện toàn bộ
Phylogenetic Distance of Thelohania butleriJohnston, Vernick, and Sprague, 1978 (Microsporidia; Thelohaniidae), a Parasite of the Smooth Pink Shrimp Pandalus jordani, from its Congeners Suggests Need for Major Revision of the Genus Thelohania Henneguy, 1892Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology - Tập 53 Số 6 - Trang 445-455 - 2006
Amanda M. V. Brown, Martin L. Adamson
ABSTRACT. Thelohania butleri, a microsporidian that causes mortality and
commercial losses in the smooth pink shrimp Pandalus jordani, is of taxonomic
interest as a species resembling the poorly studied type species, Thelohania
giardi, of the large, polyphyletic genus Thelohania. We examined the
ultrastructure of T. butleri to confirm its identity and reconstructed
phylogenies using ribosomal DNA ... hiện toàn bộ
In Vitro Propagation of the Protozoan Perkinsus Marinus, A Pathogen of the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea VirginicaJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology - Tập 40 Số 3 - Trang 304-310 - 1993
Jérôme F. La Peyre, Mohamed Faisal, Eugene M. Burreson
ABSTRACT. Perkinsus marinus, a pathogen of eastern oysters (Crassostrea
virginica), has been successfully propagated in vitro. Cultures of the parasite
were initiated from heart fragments of an infected oyster. the cultured
protozoan (designated Parkinsus‐1) was similar in morphology at both the light
and transmission electron microscopy levels to histozoic stages of P. marinus in
naturally infect... hiện toàn bộ
Multiple Polymorphic Sites at the ITS and ATAN Loci in Cultured Isolates of Perkinsus marinusJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology - Tập 51 Số 3 - Trang 312-320 - 2004
Gwynne D. Brown, Karen Hudson, Kimberly S. Reece
ABSTRACT. Sequence analysis of genomic DNA from the protozoan parasite Perkinsus
marinus at two loci revealed genetic polymorphisms within and among different
cultured isolates. Genomic DNA from 12 Perkinsus marinus isolates was amplified
at the internal transcribed spacer region and at an anonymous locus previously
identified to contain polymorphisms by restriction fragment length polymorphism

Molecular, Morphological, and Experimental Evidence Support the Synonymy of Perkinsus chesapeaki and Perkinsus andrewsiJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology - Tập 52 Số 3 - Trang 258-270 - 2005
Eugene M. Burreson, Kimberly S. Reece, Christopher F. Dungan
Abstract. Diverse analytical and experimental results confirm that two protistan
parasites, Perkinsus chesapeaki and Perkinsus andrewsi, described separately as
parasites of Mya arenaria and Macoma balthica clams sympatric in Chesapeake Bay,
USA, represent a single species. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) internal transcribed
spacer (ITS) regions, rRNA large subunit (LSU) gene, and actin gene sequences
were ... hiện toàn bộ
