RNDr. Václav Hypša, CSc. 12 This thesis should be cited as: Kvičerová J, 2012: Phylogeny of coccidia and coevolution with their hosts. Ph.D. Thesis Series, No. 3. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 155 pp. Annotation The relationship among morphology, host specificity, geography and phylogeny has been one of the long-standing and frequently discussed issues in the field of parasitology. Since the morphological descriptions of parasites are often brief and incomplete and the degree of host specificity may be influenced by numerous factors, such analyses are methodologically difficult and require modern molecular methods. The presented study addresses several questions related to evolutionary relationships within a large and important group of apicomplexan parasites, coccidia, particularly Eimeria and Isospora species from various groups of small mammal hosts. At a population level, the pattern of intraspecific structure, genetic variability and genealogy in the populations of Eimeria spp. infecting field mice of the genus Apodemus is investigated with respect to host specificity and geographic distribution.

The diagnosis of coccidiosis, species description and systematics, are all dependent upon characterization of the oocyst. Therefore, this review aimed to the provide a critical overview of the methodologies, advantages and limitations of the currently available morphological, morphometrical and molecular biology based approaches that may be utilized for characterization of these important structures.

  • The Maintenance and Replication of the Apicoplast Genome In
    THE MAINTENANCE AND REPLICATION OF THE APICOPLAST GENOME IN TOXOPLASMA GONDII by SARAH BAKER REIFF (Under the Direction of Boris Striepen) ABSTRACT The phylum Apicomplexa comprises a group of intracellular parasites of significant global health and economic concern. Most apicomplexan parasites possess a relict plastid organelle, which no longer performs photosynthesis but still retains important metabolic functions. This organelle, known as the apicoplast, also contains its own genome which is required for parasite viability. The apicoplast and its genome have been shown to be useful as therapeutic targets. However, limited information is available about the replication and maintenance of plastid DNA, not just in apicomplexan parasites but also in plants and algae. Here we use the genetic tools available in the model apicomplexan Toxoplasma gondii to examine putative apicoplast DNA replication and condensation factors, including homologs of DNA polymerase I, single-stranded DNA binding protein, DNA gyrase, and the histone-like protein HU. We confirm targeting to the apicoplast of these candidates, which are all encoded in the nucleus and must be imported. We created a genetic knockout of the Toxoplasma HU gene, which encodes a homolog of a bacterial protein that helps condense the bacterial nucleoid. We show that loss of HU in Toxoplasma results in a strong decrease in apicoplast DNA content, accompanied by biogenesis and segregation defects of the organelle. We were also interested in examining the roles of enzymes that might be more directly involved in DNA replication. To this end we constructed conditional mutants of the Toxoplasma gyrase B homolog and the DNA polymerase I homolog, which appears to be the result of a gene fusion and contains multiple different catalytic domains.

Analysis by Trinity and Trinotate pipelines showed that 84.6% of assembled transcripts share the highest similarity with Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum. Phylogenetic and interpretive analyses from RNA-seq data provide novel insight into the metabolic capabilities, composition of the invasive machinery and the phylogenetic relationships of this parasite of cold-blooded vertebrates with other coccidians. This allows re-evaluation of the phy- logenetic position of G. janae and sheds light on the emergence of the highly successful obligatory intracellularity of apicomplexan parasites. G. janae possesses a partial glideosome and along with it, the metabolic capabilities and adaptions of G. janae might provide cues as to how apicomplexans adjusted to extra- or intra-cytoplasmic niches and also to become obligate intracellular parasites.

  • Examination and Comparison of Infectious Bronchitis Virus And
    EXAMINATION AND COMPARISON OF INFECTIOUS BRONCHITIS VIRUS AND COCCIDIA VACCINES AND VACCINATION METHODS by GRACE ASHBY ALBANESE (Under the Direction of Brian J. Jordan) ABSTRACT Of the myriad of diseases affecting commercial chickens, infectious bronchitis and coccidiosis cause the most significant economic losses. Vaccination for both of these pathogens, infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and Eimeria spp., occurs at the hatchery using mass application strategies. IBV vaccines are live attenuated viruses, delivering serotype-specific immunity. The Arkansas IBV serotype is the most frequently detected serotype in the field, so vaccination to protect against disease from this type is commonplace. The current vaccine, ArkDPI, is not efficacious, and an alternative Ark-type vaccine is needed. Ark99, once a commercial IBV vaccine strain, was passaged once in embryonating chicken eggs to produce the ArkGA vaccine candidate. After 60 passages in embryos, the ArkGA vaccine was highly attenuated and provided good protection against Ark-type challenge when vaccinating broiler chickens, and is a suitable alternative to the ArkDPI vaccine. Like IBV, Eimeria spp. vaccines are often applied in the hatchery by mass vaccination methods. Vaccines may be applied using an aqueous spray, or a gel applicator bar may be used, although this technique is newer and not yet validated versus the traditional spray method. Vaccination using both a highly viscous and less viscous gel, applied by bar, was compared with liquid spray. Oocyst shedding differed slightly between vaccinated groups, although all groups were equally protected from E. maxima challenge, indicating that all the vaccine applications tested are effective. In addition to coccidiosis vaccine application, oocyst species used in vaccines are critical, because coccidia produces only species-specific immunity in chickens.

El-Sherry1,2 & M. E. Ogedengbe1 & M. A. Hafeez1,3 & M. Sayf-Al-Din2 & N. Gad2 & J. R. Barta1 Received: 31 January 2018 /Accepted: 12 November 2018 /Published online: 13 December 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Differentiating the Eimeria species causing cecal coccidiosis in turkeys is challenging. To obtain benchmark biological data for Eimeria gallopavonis Hawkins 1952 and Eimeria meleagridis Tyzzer 1929 and to support the stability of the species concept for each, genetically typed, single oocyst–derived lines of E. gallopavonis Weybridge strain and E. meleagridis USAR97-01 were used to redescribe the biological, pathological, and morphological features of these parasites. Oocysts of E. meleagridis and E. gallopavonis overlap in dimensions, but oocysts of the former have a single polar granule compared with multiple in the latter. Mature first-generation meronts of E. gallopavonis were observed histologically as early as 48 h post-inoculation alongside the villi in jejunum (before and after Meckel’s diverticulum), ileum, cecal neck and rectum, but not cecal pouches. Three asexual cycles were observed suggesting that early workers apparently overlooked one asexual cycle. Examination of endogenous development of a culture labeled “Eimeria adenoeides Weybridge strain” suggested that this strain (found in a number of publications as a large oocyst strain of “Eimeria adenoeides”) matched the species description of E.

    Biological and Transcriptomic Comparison of Two Immunologically Distinct Strains of Eimeria maxima (GS and M6) and Characterization of Their Glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) Anchored Surface Antigen Expression by Riadh Rahma Kazim Al-Badri A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Pathobiology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Riadh Rahma Kazim Al-Badri, August, 2013 ABSTRACT BIOLOGICAL AND TRANSCRIPTOMIC COMPARISON OF TWO IMMUNOLOGICALLY DISTINCT STRAINS OF EIMERIA MAXIMA (GS AND M6) AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THEIR GLYCOPHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL (GPI) ANCHORED SURFACE ANTIGEN EXPRESSION Riadh Rahma Kazim Al-Badri Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. John R. Barta Two immunologically distinct strains of poultry coccidium Eimeria maxima, Guelph (GS) and M6 strains, were investigated. Paired in vivo experiments demonstrated that GS and M6 have prepatent periods of approximately 120 h followed by peak oocyst shedding at 144-150 h post-inoculation. Fecundity of E. maxima M6 (12.8×103±1.95 oocysts shed/oocyst inoculated) was approximately twice that of GS (6.9×103±3.33) when inoculated with 1×103 infective oocysts per bird. Numerous sequential observations of synchronized populations of oocysts sporulating at 26°C showed no difference in the sporulation kinetics of the two strains; in both strains, sporogony was divided into five morphologically distinguishable stages whose abundance peaked at the following times during sporulation: unsporulated oocysts at 0 h; sporoblast anlagen at 18 h; sporoblasts without sporocyst walls at 22 h; and sporocysts without mature sporozoites at 38 h. Total RNA was isolated from four stages of sporogonic development (18 h, 22 h and 38 h of sporulation, and excysting sporozoites).
