Let me introduce you to the Anaeramoebae. This was a fun collaboration with Petr Táborský, @EricSalomaki @eme_laura @kolecko007, Tomas Panek, @jon_hultqvist,Miluše Hradilová,Čestmír Vlček, @andrewjroger Ivan Cepicka. Out now in @CurrentBiology. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Anaermoebae were discovered a couple years ago by Petr, Tomas and Ivan. These #protists were isolated from #anaerobic marine environments. At the time, it was difficult to place these cute critters on the tree of life. see: 10.1016/j.protis.2017.07.005
We sequenced the transcriptomes of two species of Anaeramoeba allowing us to perform phylogenomics. To our surprise, we found this anaerobic amoeba is actually a metmonad! Metamonads include pathogens like #Giardia and #Trichomonas that often have weird anaerobic mitochondria.

So we begin #ParasitesOnline21 today with C.A. Wright Medal 2020 winner, Prof Sarah Reece (@ReeceLab), who is telling us about "The private life of #malaria parasites: Strategies for survival & reproduction." #Parasitology Image
Prof Reece describes how the #malaria parasite regulates gametocyte sex ratio; highest number of offspring depends in female gametocyte number; the highest proportion of matings depends on male gametocyte number: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #ParasitesOnline21
For optimal #malaria gametocyte ratio, there needs to be plasticity in the gametocyte conversion rate. The @ReeceLab has investigated environmental factors that may influence this rate, such as in ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… #ParasitesOnline21
