Molecular evolution of the vesicle coat component betaCOP in Toxoplasma gondii.
Coatomer coated (COPI) vesicles play a pivotal role for multiple membrane trafficking steps throughout the eukaryotic cell. Our focus is on betaCOP, one of the most well known components of the COPI multi-protein complex. Amino acid differences in betaCOP may dictate functional divergence across species during the course of evolution, especially with regards to the evolutionary pressures on obl...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Toxoplasma gondii in the Native Slaughtered Cattle of Tehran Province, Iran
Background: Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is a common parasitic disease, affecting almost one-third of the world’s population. It is transmitted by ingestion of food or water contaminated with oocysts excreted by cats and the consumption of raw or undercooked meat from ruminants. This study aimed at molecular characterization of T. gondii in native cattle from West of Tehran, Iran...
متن کاملMolecular detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in aborted fetuses in sheep in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran
Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a significant cause of abortion in sheep and goats in the world. Toxoplasmosis is caused reproduction disorders such as fetal resorption, early embryonic death, mummification, abortion, stillbirth, neonatal and fetal death in sheep . Objectives: The aim of this study was to detect T. gondii infection in ovine aborted fetuses in Khorasan Razavi province. Methods:...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Toxoplasma gondii Oocytes in the Soil from the Public Parks of the Arak City, Iran
Background: Soil structure is mainly composed of sand, silt, clay, and organic materials. Organisms can live in the soil. The large number of stray cats in the cities of Iran is a major environmental and health problem. Toxoplasma oocysts are shed with the feces of cats, so soil is known as a potential source of transmission of toxoplasmosis. The aim of this study was to determine the soil cont...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii infection in slaughtered ewes in Khorramabad, west of Iran: A preliminary molecular study
BACKGROUND: The parasitic protozoa Toxoplasma gondii is widely prevalent in humans and warm-blooded animals. Humans are usually infected with T. gondii by ingesting oocysts shed by cats or by ingesting viable tissue cysts present in raw or undercooked meat. OBJECTIVES: This preliminary study was conducted to assess the frequency of Toxoplasma gondii infection in tissue samples of ewes slaughter...
