LEUCOCYTOZOON INFECTIONS IN TITS (AVES, PARIDAE): BLOOD AND TISSUE STAGES INVESTIGATED USING AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH

Leucocytozoon species are cosmopolitan and prevalent avian parasites, with some infections being lethal, mainly due to the cmpk bolus exo-erythrocytic development of the parasite in bird tissues.The patterns of exo-erythrocytic development in Leucocytozoon spp.infections in wild birds remain poorly studied.This study investigated the development of

The protein kinase Mec1 (ATR ortholog) and its partner Ddc2 (ATRIP ortholog) play a key role in DNA damage checkpoint responses in budding yeast.Previous studies have established the model in honda weathershields which Ddc1, a subunit of the checkpoint clamp, and Dpb11, related to TopBP1, activate Mec1 directly and control DNA damage checkpoint res
