TLDR
The results of morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that all Leishmaniinae-bound wallaceinas are just different isolates of the same species that are renamed back to Crithidia brevicula Frolov, Malysheva, 1989.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Two Species of Trypanosomatidae from the Honey Bee Apis mellifera: Crithidia mellificae Langridge and McGhee, and Lotmaria passim n. gen., n. sp.
TL;DR: Phylogenetics unambiguously identify strains BRL/SF as a novel taxonomic unit distinct from C. mellificae and assign all four strains as lineages of a novel clade within the subfamily Leishmaniinae.
Journal ArticleDOI
An appraisal of the taxonomy and nomenclature of trypanosomatids presently classified as Leishmania and Endotrypanum.
Omar Ariel Espinosa,Myrna G. Serrano,Erney P. Camargo,Marta Maria Geraldes Teixeira,Jeffrey Jon Shaw +4 more
TL;DR: A taxonomic revision of the dixenous trypanosomatids currently classified as Endotrypanum and Leishmania is proposed, including parasites that do not fall within the subgenera L. deanei, L. enriettii and L. martiniquensis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of trypanosomatid taxonomy
TL;DR: This review incites a dialogue on how the understanding of the relationships between certain trypanosomatids has shifted, and discusses new knowledge that informs the present taxonomy of these important parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in trypanosomatid research: genome organization, expression, metabolism, taxonomy and evolution
Dmitri A. Maslov,Fred R. Opperdoes,Alexei Y. Kostygov,Hassan Hashimi,Julius Lukeš,Vyacheslav Yurchenko +5 more
TL;DR: There is a need for a more comprehensive review that summarizing recent advances in the studies of trypanosomatids in the last 30 years, a task, which is tried to accomplish with the current paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leptomonas seymouri: Adaptations to the Dixenous Life Cycle Analyzed by Genome Sequencing, Transcriptome Profiling and Co-infection with Leishmania donovani.
Natalya Kraeva,Anzhelika Butenko,Jana Hlaváčová,Alexei Y. Kostygov,Jitka Myskova,Danyil Grybchuk,Tereza Lestinova,Jan Votýpka,Petr Volf,Fred R. Opperdoes,Pavel Flegontov,Julius Lukeš,Vyacheslav Yurchenko,Vyacheslav Yurchenko,Vyacheslav Yurchenko +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that L. seymouri is well adapted for the environment of the warm-blooded host and remains a predominantly monoxenous species not capable of infecting vertebrate cells under normal conditions.

Journal ArticleDOI
MEGA6: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Version 6.0
TL;DR: An advanced version of the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis software, which currently contains facilities for building sequence alignments, inferring phylogenetic histories, and conducting molecular evolutionary analysis, is released, which enables the inference of timetrees, as it implements the RelTime method for estimating divergence times for all branching points in a phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput
TL;DR: MUSCLE is a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences that includes fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function the authors call the log-expectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning.

MrBayes 3.2: Efficient Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference and Model Choice across a Large Model Space
Fredrik Ronquist,Maxim Teslenko,Paul van der Mark,Daniel L. Ayres,Aaron E. Darling,Sebastian Höhna,Bret Larget,Liang Liu,Marc A. Suchard,John P. Huelsenbeck +9 more
TL;DR: The new version provides convergence diagnostics and allows multiple analyses to be run in parallel with convergence progress monitored on the fly, and provides more output options than previously, including samples of ancestral states, site rates, site dN/dS rations, branch rates, and node dates.

Kinetoplast DNA network: evolution of an improbable structure.
Julius Lukeš,Julius Lukeš,D. Lys Guilbride,Jan Votýpka,Jan Votýpka,Alena Zíková,Alena Zíková,Rob Benne,Paul T. Englund +8 more
TL;DR: Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) is the most structurally complex mitochondrial DNA in nature as mentioned in this paper and is known as a giant network of thousands of catenated circular DNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of trypanosomes as inferred from the small and large subunit rRNAs: implications for the evolution of parasitism in the trypanosomatid protozoa
TL;DR: The results provide no evidence for co-evolution of trypanosomatids and their hosts, either vertebrate or invertebrate, which suggests that evolution of try panosom atids was accompanied by secondary acquisitions of hosts and habitats.
