An Entity of Type: eukaryote, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Strigomonas culicis is a protist and member of flagellated trypanosomatids. It is an obligate parasite in the gastrointestinal tract of mosquito, and is in turn a host to symbiotic bacteria. It maintains strict mutualistic relationship with the bacteria as a sort of cell organelle (endosymbiont) so that it cannot lead an independent life without the bacteria. This and other symbiont-harbouring trypanosomatids such as Angomonas deanei are considered as "excellent models for the study of cell evolution because the host protozoan co-evolves with an intracellular bacterium in a mutualistic relationship", and "the origin of new organelles" (i.e. symbiogenesis).

dbo:abstract
  • Strigomonas culicis (nombrado inicialmente como Blastocrithidia culicis) es un protista perteneciente a la familia Trypanosomatidae, donde se encuadran otros géneros más conocidos como son Leishmania y Trypanosoma. Esta especie es parásito de insectos, por ejemplo infecta a Aedes aegypti, pero no es patogénica para humanos. La secuenciación del genoma de este microorganismo ha sido realizada por un consorcio de investigadores brasileños dirigidos por Sergio Schenkman y Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos.​ (es)

Originally described as Blastocrithidia culicis in 1961, it was renamed Strigomonas culicis in 2011 upon establishing its genetic relationship with other related protists. The obligate bacterium belongs a group of ß-proteobacterium and provides nutrients to the host, in addition to influencing some of the cellular functions. (en)
