Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
The median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 2, January 2026.
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Decolonising and Diversifying Veterinary Education: Why It Matters and How to Begin

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The decolonisation of veterinary education is an emerging topic in academic discourse. Introduced to the concept during a postgraduate certificate in veterinary education, I was surprised by how little literature or guidance existed on the subject.

Antitrypanosomal Activity and Molecular Docking Studies of Lobetyolin From Lobelia rhynchopetalum Hemsl. Root Extract Against Trypanosoma congolense Field Isolates

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Currently available drugs for trypanosomiasis are few, and their use is limited by toxicity and growing resistance. This highlights the need for safer and more effective alternatives. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo antitrypanosomal activities of an 80% methanol root extract of Lobelia rhynchopetalum and its major constituent were evaluated ...

Piplartine as an Innovative Natural Product With Dual Antiparasitic and Immunomodulatory Actions

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health burden, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income regions and demanding innovative therapeutic strategies. This review summarizes current evidence on piplartine (piperlongumine), a naturally occurring amide from Piper species with broad antiparasitic and immunomodulatory ...

An evaluation of African animal trypanosomiasis control strategies in remote communities of Eastern Zambia

Parasitology
AbstractCommunities living in African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) endemic areas of Zambia use several control strategies to protect their livestock from the devastating effects of trypanosomiasis. Several studies have reported the effectiveness of trypanosomiasis control strategies based on retrospective data.
