Journal Article
Zhu, X.-K., Elsheikha, H. M., Yang, T., Li, M.-Y., & Cong, W. (2024). Urban estuary serves as a critical nexus for the land-sea transfer of the terrestrial pathogen Toxoplasma gondii. Science of the Total Environment, 955, Article 176983. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176983

Terrestrial runoff is a key pathway for the transmission of the terrestrial pathogen Toxoplasma gondii from land to sea, posing a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Understanding the mechanisms by which T. gondii is transported from terrestrial...

Several calcium-binding proteins including calcium-dependent protein kinases play important roles in several facets of the intracellular infection cycle of the apicomplexan protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. However, the role of the calcium-bindin... Read More about Effect of deleting four Toxoplasma gondii calcium-binding EGF domain-containing proteins on parasite replication and virulence.

Diagnosis and Management of Acanthamoeba Keratitis: A Continental Approach (2022)
Journal Article
Bouten, M., & Elsheikha, H. M. (2022). Diagnosis and Management of Acanthamoeba Keratitis: A Continental Approach. Parasitologia, 2(3), 167-197. https://doi.org/10.3390/parasitologia2030016

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a potentially blinding infection caused by protozoa found worldwide. The topical application of biguanides and diamidines is the most common anti-amoebic treatment for AK. In this study, we hypothesized that geographica...
