Understanding the Distribution of Muscidae Flies and Their Role as Vectors of Bacterial Pathogens in South Africa: A Review Using BOLD Barcoding Data

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of Muscidae flies as vectors of bacterial pathogens with veterinary and public health significance necessitates accurate species identification and distribution mapping. This review analysed records from the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) national Diptera checklist ...

Aerobic midgut microbiota of sand fly vectors of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis from northern Iran, a step toward finding potential paratransgenic candidates

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania parasites and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected sand flies. Development of Leishmania to infective metacyclic promastigotes occurs within the sand fly gut where the gut microbiota influences ...

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review

open access: yesChemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...

Temporal distribution and insecticide resistance profile of two major arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Yaoundé, the capital city of Cameroon

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2017
Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are the major epidemic vectors of several arbovirus diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, Zika and chikungunya worldwide. Both Aedes vectors are presents in Cameroon; however, knowledge on the dynamic of the distribution

Sleep Alters the Velocity of Physiological Brain Pulsations in Humans

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
Sleep alters I/CSF oscillatory flow, driven by increased respiratory (29%) and vasomotor pulsation (21%) velocities, while cardiovascular pulsations decreased by (22%). Velocity is quantified using optical flow analysis of MREG data. Spectral power increases alongside these pulsations (spatial correlation, r = 0.35 and r = 0.39, respectively ...

Larval predation in malaria vectors and its potential implication in malaria transmission: an overlooked ecosystem service?

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
The role of aquatic predators in controlling the anopheline aquatic stage has been known for decades. Recently, studies have highlighted that exposition to predation stress during aquatic development can have a profound impact on life-history traits (e.g.

Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis

open access: yesCell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...
