Population, genetic, and antigenic diversity of the apicomplexan Eimeria tenella and their relevance to vaccine development (2015)
Journal Article
Blake, D. P., Clark, E. L., Macdonald, S. E., Thenmozhi, V., Kundu, K., Garg, R., …Tomley, F. M. (2015). Population, genetic, and antigenic diversity of the apicomplexan Eimeria tenella and their relevance to vaccine development. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1506468112

The phylum Apicomplexa includes serious pathogens of humans and animals. Understanding the distribution and population structure of these protozoan parasites is of fundamental importance to explain disease epidemiology and develop sustainable control...

Proteomic analysis of Plasmodium in the mosquito: progress and pitfalls (2012)
Journal Article
Wass, M. N., Stanway, R., Blagborough, A. M., Lal, K., Prieto, J. H., Raine, D., …Sinden, R. E. (2012). Proteomic analysis of Plasmodium in the mosquito: progress and pitfalls. Parasitology, 139(9), 1131-1145. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0031182012000133

Here we discuss proteomic analyses of whole cell preparations of the mosquito stages of malaria parasite development (i.e. gametocytes, microgamete, ookinete, oocyst and sporozoite) of Plasmodium berghei. We also include critiques of the proteomes of... Read More about Proteomic analysis of Plasmodium in the mosquito: progress and pitfalls.

The poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae: Developing novel management solutions for a complicated and neglected pest (2009)
Journal Article
George, D., Finn, R., Graham, K., Mul, M., Guy, J., Strube, C., …Sparagano, O. (in press). The poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae: Developing novel management solutions for a complicated and neglected pest. Experimental and Applied Acarology,

The poultry red mite, D. gallinae has been involved in the transmission of many pathogenic agents, responsible for serious diseases both in animals and humans. Nowadays, few effective methods are available to control the ectoparasite in poultry farms...

MORN1 has a conserved role in asexual and sexual development across the apicomplexa. Eukaryot Cell
Journal Article
Ferguson, D. J. P., Sahoo, N., Pinches, R. A., Bumstead, J. M., Tomley, F. M., & Gubbels, M. J. (in press). MORN1 has a conserved role in asexual and sexual development across the apicomplexa. Eukaryot Cell. https://doi.org/10.1128/EC.00021-08

The gene encoding the membrane occupation and recognition nexus protein MORN1 is conserved across the Apicomplexa. In Toxoplasma gondii, MORN1 is associated with the spindle poles, the anterior and posterior rings of the inner membrane complex (IMC)....

Conservation of proteins involved in oocyst wall formation in Eimeria maxima, Eimeria tenella and Eimeria acervulina
Journal Article
Belli, S. I., Ferguson, D. J. P., Katrib, M., Slapetova, I., Mai, K., Slapeta, J., …Smith, N. C. (in press). Conservation of proteins involved in oocyst wall formation in Eimeria maxima, Eimeria tenella and Eimeria acervulina. International Journal for Parasitology, 39(10), 1063-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2009.05.004

Vaccination with proteins from gametocytes of Eimeria maxima protects chickens, via transfer of maternal antibodies, against infection with several species of Eimeria. Antibodies to E. maxima gametocyte proteins recognise proteins in the wall forming...
