Roles of Cysteine Proteases in Biology and Pathogenesis of Parasites.

Cysteine proteases, also known as thiol proteases, are a class of nucleophilic proteolytic enzymes containing cysteine residues in the enzymatic domain. These proteases generally play a pivotal role in many biological reactions, such as catabolic functions and protein processing, in all living organisms. They specifically take part in many important biological processes, especially in the absorption of nutrients, invasion, virulence, and immune evasion of parasitic organisms from unicellular protozoa to multicellular helminths.

: A Neglected Protozoan Infection in the Oral Cavities of Humans and Dogs-A Scoping Review.

is a flagellated protozoan parasite found in the oral cavities of humans and animals and has been associated with periodontal disease, the most prevalent inflammatory disease affecting them all. Studies have shown that can cause damage to mammalian cells and secretes virulent proteins, such as cysteine. It is presently considered zoonotic.

Draft Genome Sequence of Strain Hs-4:NIH.

is a flagellated parasite that plays an important role in periodontal disease, with high prevalence worldwide. Its pathogenesis remains largely unknown, and there is very little information on its genome. Here, we present the whole-genome shotgun sequence of T.

A Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay Specific to Is Suitable for Use at Point-of-Care.

is a flagellated protozoan that inhabits the human and canine oral cavity in patients with poor oral hygiene and periodontal disease. The loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay could provide clinicians with a quick, cheap and reliable diagnostic test used for the detection of in various settings. In this study, we aimed to develop a LAMP assay that can detect with high sensitivity and specificity.
