Trypanosoma brucei triggers a marked immune response in male reproductive organs. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
African trypanosomiasis is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, transmitted between mammals by the bite of a tsetse. It has been recently shown that parasites accumulate in large numbers in various organs and tissues, including the mouse ...

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

Quinoa Ameliorates High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Obesity in Female Mice by Regulating Gut Microbiota and Adipogenesis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Quinoa intervention counteracts high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obesity in C57BL/6 female mice and elicits a concomitant increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroidota, Bacteroidia, Bacteroidales, and Muribaculaceae. Treatment with quinoa in HFD‐fed female mice results in reduced expression of genes involved in “ion channel” in gonadal white adipose ...

Integration Analysis of Metabolome and Transcriptome Reveals the Effect of Lipopolysaccharide on Ovary Response to Stimulation

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study provided evidence of inflammation on damaging ovary response to controlled ovarian stimulation, linked to dysfunctions in lipid, carbohydrate, and amino acid metabolism. IL‐17 signal pathways may play a critical role in this process. ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which lipopolysaccharide (LPS ...

Immunometabolic Features and Key Biomarkers in Lung Cancer Complicated by Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Insights From Transcriptome and Clinical Cohort Analysis

iMetaMed, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2025.
Integrative analysis of LC‐PTB patients pinpoints six biomarkers (ANK2, EPB42, CA1, HBB, HBD, MYL4) that reshape the immune microenvironment, offering new targets for diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer complicated by tuberculosis. ABSTRACT Coexisting lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis (LC‐PTB) is clinically challenging in diagnosis and ...

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.
