Global miRNA expression profiling of domestic cat livers following acute Toxoplasma gondii infection (2017)
Journal Article
Cong, W., Zhang, X.-X., He, J.-J., Li, F.-C., Elsheikha, H. M., & Zhu, X.-Q. (2017). Global miRNA expression profiling of domestic cat livers following acute Toxoplasma gondii infection. Oncotarget, 8(15), https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.16108

Although microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in liver homeostasis, the extent to which they can be altered by Toxoplasma gondii infection is unknown. Here, we utilized small RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses to characterize miRNA expres...

Transcriptomic responses of water buffalo liver to infection with the digenetic fluke Fasciola gigantica (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, F.-K., Zhang, X.-X., Elsheikha, H. M., He, J.-J., Sheng, Z.-A., Zheng, W.-B., …Zhu, X.-Q. (2017). Transcriptomic responses of water buffalo liver to infection with the digenetic fluke Fasciola gigantica. Parasites and Vectors, 10(1), Article 56. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-017-1990-2

Background
Fasciola gigantica, the tropical liver fluke, infects buffaloes in Asian and African countries and causes significant economic losses and poses public health threat in these countries. However, little is known of the transcriptional respo... Read More about Transcriptomic responses of water buffalo liver to infection with the digenetic fluke Fasciola gigantica.

Functional characterization of rhoptry kinome in the virulent toxoplasma gondii RH strain (2017)
Journal Article
Wang, J.-L., Li, T.-T., Elsheikha, H. M., Chen, K., Zhu, W.-N., Yue, D.-M., …Huang, S.-Y. (in press). Functional characterization of rhoptry kinome in the virulent toxoplasma gondii RH strain. Frontiers in Microbiology, 8, Article 84. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2017.00084

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular apicomplexan protozoan which can infect any warm-blooded animal and causes severe diseases in immunocompromised individuals or infants infected in utero. The survival and success of this parasite requi... Read More about Functional characterization of rhoptry kinome in the virulent toxoplasma gondii RH strain.

Identification of host proteins interacting with Toxoplasma gondii GRA15 (TgGRA15) by yeast two-hybrid system (2017)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Li, F.-C., Elsheikha, H. M., Sun, M.-M., & Zhu, X.-Q. (2017). Identification of host proteins interacting with Toxoplasma gondii GRA15 (TgGRA15) by yeast two-hybrid system. Parasites and Vectors, 10(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-016-1943-1

Background

Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite, possesses the remarkable ability to co-opt host cell machinery in order to maintain its intracellular survival. This parasite can modulate signaling pathways of its host t... Read More about Identification of host proteins interacting with Toxoplasma gondii GRA15 (TgGRA15) by yeast two-hybrid system.
