Synthesis, anti-amoebic activity and molecular docking simulation of eugenol derivatives against Acanthamoeba sp.

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2023
Amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba can cause diseases such as amoebic keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. Until now, treatment options for these diseases have not been fully effective and have several drawbacks.

Syndromic Convergence in Aquaculture Disease Management: A Critical Review of Climate‐Pathobiome Interactions, Diagnostic Frameworks, and Knowledge Gaps

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Syndromic convergence (SyCo) reframes aquaculture disease as the synergistic product of climate‐driven stressors, pathobiome communities, and host immune compromise, not single pathogens. A five‐criterion scoring matrix, composite early warning index, and three‐layer intervention framework together operationalize this shift toward predictive ...

Tannic acid-modified silver nanoparticles enhance the anti-Acanthamoeba activity of three multipurpose contact lens solutions without increasing their cytotoxicity

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Free-living amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba are cosmopolitan, widely distributed protozoans that cause a severe, vision-threatening corneal infection known as Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). The majority of the increasing number of AK cases are
