Tick-Borne Colpodella Species Infections: Time for a New Integrated Approach to Understand Transmission and Pathogenicity
2025-03-07
Abstract excerpt
Colpodella species are free-living predatory protists that prey on algae, ciliates and bodonids using myzocytosis. Colpodella species have been reported in human and animal infections. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers targeting 18S rRNA genes of Cryptosporidium and piroplasms has identified Colpodella species in arthropods, host blood, and feces demonstrating the phylogenetic closeness of Colpodella s...
