Bovines, buffers and barriers: A social scientific perspective on rewilding in the Kavango‐Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Rewilding is often summarized with the three C's of Carnivores, Cores and Corridors. In this essay we propose a complementary perspective that focuses on the three B's of Bovines, Buffers and Barriers. This complementary perspective draws attention to rewilding as a social (rather than only ecological) challenge and is illustrated with insights from ...

Pyridyl‐Thiazole‐Thiosemicarbazones as Antitrypanosomatidae Agents: Design, Synthesis, and In Silico Profiling

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 16, 27 August 2026.
A novel pyridine–thiazole derivative, Compound 8, exhibited potent dual antitrypanosomatid activity. It demonstrated remarkable in vitro efficacy against Trypanosoma cruzi (IC50 = 1.0 µM) and L. amazonensis (IC50 = 3.9 µM). Molecular docking studies suggested interactions with heme and multiple molecular targets.

Molecular epidemiological studies on animal trypanosomiases in Ghana

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background African trypanosomes are extracellular protozoan parasites that are transmitted between mammalian hosts by the bite of an infected tsetse fly. Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense

Translocation of livestock‐raiding lions under specific conditions can mitigate conflict

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human‐wildlife conflict is a pervasive threat that imperils many carnivore species worldwide, and although translocation is often used as a conflict mitigation strategy, it is widely regarded as ineffective. Here, we demonstrate that careful selection of suitable release sites can improve outcomes, as 80% of stock‐raiding lion translocations in ...

The Transmission of Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Two Districts in the Forest Zone of Ghana

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
ABSTRACT. Animal African trypanosomiasis, also known as nagana, is caused by Trypanosoma species, which cause significant clinical diseases and lead to losses in animal production. We carried out a cross-sectional survey to investigate the composition of vectors and parasite diversity in two districts in the eastern region of Ghana where pigs and ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
