Split-Cre-mediated GFP expression as a permanent marker for flagellar fusion of Trypanosoma brucei in its tsetse fly host by Ruth Etzensperger, Mattias Benninger, Berta Pozzi, Ruth Rehmann, Arunasalam Naguleswaran, Gabriela Schumann, Jan Van Den Abbeele, Isabel Roditi

“…In addition to its use in trypanosomes, this system could be adapted for other parasites and in other contexts. For example, it could be used to determine whether flagellar fusion occurs in related parasites such as Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi or to monitor whether intracellular parasites and their hosts exchange proteins.…”

Nature of viruses and the radical change in viral taxonomy by V. V. Makarov, L. P. Buchatsky

“…The metagenomic sequencing has revealed the presence of a vast variety of viruses in diverse environmental samples without any connections with banal parasitism, infectivity, or pathogenicity. The understanding of viruses has expanded beyond the original parasitic–pathogen model, and now virologists recognize the role of viruses in host regulation and the maintenance of natural ecosystems. …”
