Adaptation to an amoeba host drives selection of virulence-associated traits and genetic variation in saprotrophic Candida albicans

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Amoebae are micropredators that play an important role in controlling fungal populations in ecosystems. However, the interaction between fungi and their amoebic predators suggests that the pressure from predatory selection can significantly influence the

Using computer vision to assess changes in ventilation rates of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) following a freshwater bath

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Computer vision is becoming a valuable tool for non‐invasive, continuous monitoring of farmed fish health and welfare, reducing the reliance on manual inspections. Field validation is needed to interpret computer vision outputs and assess their use in aquaculture.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Targeting Microglial CD49a Inhibits Neuroinflammation and Demonstrates Therapeutic Potential for Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
This study shows that integrin receptor CD49a (Itga1 gene) is significantly upregulated in hyperactivated microglia and microglia‐specific knockdown of Itga1 rescues neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in a chronic Parkinson's disease (PD) model by targeting PGAM5‐mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and NLRP3 activation. Targeted inhibition of CD49a

Pyogenic Hepatic Abscess as a Complication of Appendicitis: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Pyogenic liver abscess management. ABSTRACT Pyogenic liver abscess is a rare and under‐recognized complication of gangrenous or perforated appendicitis in children. Management typically requires a combination of antibiotic therapy and abscess drainage. Although uncommon in the pediatric population, pyogenic liver abscess is more frequently observed in ...

Cryptococcus neoformans Escape From Dictyostelium Amoeba by Both WASH-Mediated Constitutive Exocytosis and Vomocytosis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Cryptococcus neoformans is an environmental yeast that can cause opportunistic infections in humans. As infecting animals does not form part of its normal life-cycle, it has been proposed that the virulence traits that allow cryptococci to resist immune ...

From Diagnostic Challenge to Clinical Success: Rapid Multiplex PCR Identification of Cryptosporidium in HIV‐Associated Refractory Diarrhea: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cryptosporidiosis remains a challenge in people with HIV despite its decreased incidence in developed countries. We report a case of severe diarrhea in a person with HIV where Gram stain findings prioritized cryptosporidium in the differential diagnosis.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.
