I am very pleased to announce that our work on expression profiling and immunolabelling of the non-canonical and unique myxozoan minicollagen Ncol-5 has been published in the International Journal for Parasitology. Well done Jiří! #Myxozoa #Cnidaria doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpa…

Our paper on the mitochondrial genome of Polypodium hydriforme is finally out! With: Paulyn Cartwright E. Sally Chang, PhD Ivan Fiala Maria Novosolov and Dayana Yahalomi This large mt genome (93 kbp) took ~10 years to complete! It also has a different stop codon. academic.oup.com/gbe/article/14…

Congrats to Martina Lisnerová Martina Lisnerová , a lot of patient work went into her final PhD paper. I am very proud of this study. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

So much enjoyed the #EAFP2023 conference in Aberdeen. Many thanks to the organizers of this wonderful meeting and to Stephen Atkinson for co-chairing the myxo session with me. I had lots of fun.

We've just published a comparative genomic analysis of Ascetosporean parasites (Rhizaria). We produced genomic data for two additional classes (Haplosporidia and Paramyxida), and the undescribed Cercozoa M6MM, and combined that to the available mikrocitids bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our review about the evolution of intracellular parasitism is out in a full open access version: annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Grateful and delighted to be a fresh recipient of the 3-year grant by @GACR. Excited to collaborate with Alena Krejci from #PrfJU on bee parasites 🐝

We are newly opening a research direction focused on the diversity and evolution of microsporidia, trypanosomatids, and amoebae in honey bees and in wild bee species. If interested, approach me and join our team! Laboratory of Fish Protistology #GAČR #honeybee #Parasite

Productive and pleasant project meeting on "Food or Foe: Interaction of myxozoans with red blood stages." Thanks to Astrid Holzer for hosting us at @vetmedunivienna! Pavla Sojková #fishhealth #myxozoa
