The 13th International Workshops on Opportunistic Protists (IWOP13)

  • Authors: Calderón EJ, Cushion MT, Kaneshiro ES, Lorenzo-Morales J, Matos O, Weiss LM, Xiao L
  • Publication Year: 2015
  • Journal: Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4564322/%20

The 13th International Workshops on Opportunistic Protists (IWOP-13) was held November 13-15, 2014 in Seville, Spain. The objectives of the IWOP meetings are to: (1) serve as a forum for exchange of new information among active researchers concerning the basic biology, molecular genetics, immunology, biochemistry, pathogenesis, drug development, therapy, and epidemiology of these immunodeficiency-associated pathogenic eukaryotic microorganisms that are seen in patients with AIDS and; (2) to foster the entry of new and young investigators into these underserved research areas.

Microsporidia as emerging pathogens and the implication for public health: a 10-year study on HIV-positive and -negative patients.

  • Authors: Antunes F, Lobo ML, Matos O, Xiao L
  • Journal: International Journal for Parasitology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Microsporidia+as+emerging+pathogens+and+the+implication+for+public+health%3A+A+10-year+study+on+HIV-positive+and+-negative+patients.

Despite recent advances in the understanding and diagnosis of emerging microsporidian pathogens, more research is necessary to elucidate their complex epidemiology. In fact, studies that reflect true human-infecting microsporidian prevalence are still inadequate. The present 10-year study was undertaken to examine the occurrence of Microsporidia in 1989 stools, 69 urine and 200 pulmonary specimens from HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients using PCR and DNA sequencing.

The 12th International Workshops on Opportunistic Protists (IWOP-12)

  • Authors: Calderón EJ, Cushion MT, Didier E, Kaneshiro ES, Marciano-Cabral F, Matos O, Sinai AP, Weiss LM, Xiao L
  • Journal: Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23560871

The 12th International Workshops on Opportunistic Protists (IWOP-12) was held in August 2012 in Tarrytown, New York. The objectives of the IWOP meetings are to: (1) serve as a forum for exchange of new information among active researchers concerning the basic biology, molecular genetics, immunology, biochemistry, pathogenesis, drug development, therapy, and epidemiology of these immunodeficiency-associated pathogenic eukaryotic microorganisms that are seen in patients with AIDS and (2) foster the entry of new and young investigators into these underserved research areas.

Development of a multilocus sequence typing tool for high-resolution genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi.

  • Authors: Cama V, Dearen T, Feng Y, Li N, Lobo ML, Matos O, Xiao L
  • Journal: Applied and Environmental Microbiology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Development+of+a+multilocus+sequence+typing+tool+for+high-resolution+genotyping+of+Enterocytozoon+bieneusi.

Thus far, genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi has been based solely on DNA sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the rRNA gene. Both host-adapted and zoonotic (human-pathogenic) genotypes of E. bieneusi have been identified.

Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium (Apicomplexa) in children and cattle in Romania

  • Authors: Darabus G, Imre K, Lobo ML, Matos O, Mederle N, Mederle O, Vieira PM, Xiao L
  • Publication Year: 2015
  • Journal: Folia Parasitologica
  • Link: http://folia.paru.cas.cz/artkey/fol-201501-0002_molecular_characterisation_of_cryptosporidium_apicomplexa_in_children_and_cattle_in_romania.php

To investigate the transmission of species of Cryptosporidium Tyzzer, 1907 in Timis County, Romania, 48 isolates of Cryptosporidium coccidia from 11 children, 29 calves and eight pigs were characterised by molecular analysis of two loci (SSU rRNA and 60-kDa glycoprotein gene). Overall, 22 isolates were amplified and sequence analyses revealed that all isolates were Cryptosporidium […]
