Systemic dissemination, reproductive tissue tropism and gestational stage-dependent placental responses during Mayaro virus infection in a murine model

This study uses a murine model to track Mayaro virus dissemination and tissue tropism, showing gestational stage affects fetal infection and suggests non-vector transmission routes.

Trypanosoma cruzi Has 32 Chromosomes: A Telomere-to-Telomere Assembly Defines Its Karyotype.

The paper presents a telomere-to-telomere assembly of the Trypanosoma cruzi genome, revealing a 32-chromosome karyotype with conserved structures and identifying a tetraploid chromosome 16.

Indigenous ancestry and admixture in the Uruguayan population

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze indigenous ancestry in Uruguayans, identifying Amerindian genetic heritage and estimating admixture timing.

Maxicircle architecture and evolutionary insights into Trypanosoma cruzi complex

The paper sequences maxicircles from T. cruzi strains using long-read sequencing, revealing their architecture, evolutionary relationships, and proposing a new nomenclature.

Reevaluation of the Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum genomes reveals misassembly, karyotype differences and chromosomal rearrangements

The paper reevaluates the genomes of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum, revealing misassembly, chromosomal rearrangements, and new genes, with implications for genome-based comparative biology.

Nanopore sequencing significantly improves genome assembly of the eukaryotic protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

This study uses Nanopore sequencing to improve genome assembly of Trypanosoma cruzi, increasing contiguity and assembly size by ~16 Mb.
