The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii causes severe opportunistic infections. Here, we report an unexpected diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis. T. gondii was diagnosed by 16S and D2 large-subunit (LSU) ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing of a cerebral biopsy specimen and confirmed by T. gondii-specific PCR and immunohistochemistry. The patient was later diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

New stands of Paramecium dodecaurelia were found in Russia, Ukraine, Kazahstan, Poland, and Tenerife. Molecular studies (RAPD and sequencing of LSU rRNA and CO1 mtDNA gene fragments) of P. dodecaurelia strains depicted intraspecific polymorphism within the species, revealed as distinct differences between strains from the USA in comparison with strains from different regions of the Palearctic.
