This study uses spatial transcriptomics to map immune responses in Atlantic salmon gills infected with AGD, revealing region-specific transcriptional domains and immune organization.

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to analyze life cycle and cell cycle gene expression dynamics in two Leishmania species during in vitro growth, revealing developmental endpoints and cell cycle-related gene expression patterns.

This study identifies trypanocidal drugs effective against Amoebic Gill Disease in Atlantic salmon by targeting the symbiotic Perkinsela-like organism.

The paper analyzes the population structure of Neoparamoeba perurans and its kinetoplastid symbiont Perkinsela, revealing asymmetry in their genetic diversity and transmission patterns.

This paper examines how alternative diets and antibiotic supplements affect digestive enzyme activity and gut microbiota in Pacific white shrimp.

This study uses an Atlantic salmon gut model to show that antimicrobial resistance plasmids persist and transfer among microbes even after antibiotic treatment stops.

This study investigates the genomic basis of domestic colonization in Chagas disease vectors, finding that landscape elevation drives population structure and identifying genetic loci associated with adaptation to domestic environments.

The paper reports SARS-CoV-2 genomic data from Venezuela and finds similarities with Colombian and Brazilian lineages, suggesting cross-border transmission despite containment measures.

The paper uses deep sequencing of mini-exon gene amplicons to analyze genetic diversity and mixed infections of Trypanosoma cruzi and T. rangeli in southern Ecuador, revealing underestimated T. rangeli prevalence and new TcIV sequences.

This paper introduces a cost-effective method for analyzing pathogen genetic variation directly from host/vector material, demonstrating its ability to distinguish parasite strains and correlate genetic with geographic distances.

This study evaluates the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of Ion Torrent sequencing for eDNA monitoring in aquaculture, finding it comparable to Illumina for detecting pathogens and microalgae.
