The last century has witnessed an increasing rate of new disease emergence across the
world leading to permanent loss of biodiversity. Perkinsea is a microeukaryotic parasitic …

Perkinsosis is a disease of gastropod and bivalve molluscs caused by protozoan parasites
of the Perkinsus genus. These parasites have been responsible for mass mortalities …

Background Partially clonal organisms are very common in nature, yet the influence of
partial asexuality on the temporal dynamics of genetic diversity remains poorly understood …

Although clam populations in France are known to be infected with protozoans of the genus
Perkinsus, no molecular characterization was previously performed on these parasites …

Perkinsus spp. parasites have significant impact on aquaculture and wild mollusc
populations. We sequenced the genomes of five monoclonal isolates of Perkinsus olseni …

Twelve polymorphic genetic markers, eight allozymic loci and four microsatellites, were used
to characterize 20 infrapopulations of Fasciola hepatica (all flukes from 10 individual cattle …

Ruditapes decussatus is a highly appreciated clam species, with a high demand, especially
in European countries. However, natural populations of this species have been affected by …

Severe Perkinsea infection is an emerging disease of amphibians, specifically tadpoles.
Disease presentation correlates with liver infections of a subclade of Perkinsea (Alveolata) …

In the present study, molecular characterization of Fasciola flukes from Spain was performed
to reveal the relation with the previously reported Peruvian F. hepatica population. The …

The parasitic species Perkinsus olseni (= atlanticus)(Perkinsea, Alveolata) infects a wide
range of mollusc species and is responsible for mortality events and economic losses in the …
