Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1574-1602, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

No Trace of Blastocystis Parasite in Bats Caught in the Western and Southwestern Regions of Iran

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Despite screening 115 bats across four dominant species (Miniopterus pallidus, Myotis blythii, Rhinopoma microphyllum, and Rhinolophus euryale) from five caves in western and southwestern Iran using PCR, no evidence of Blastocystis infection was found, suggesting these bats are not current reservoirs for this parasite in this region.

A new species of Cryptosporidium (Apicomplexa: Cryptosporidiidae) from eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cryptosporidium macropodum n. sp is described. Oocysts of C. macropodum from the feces of kangaroos (Macropus spp.) are morphologically indistinguishable from other mammalian Cryptosporidium species, including C. parvum, C. hominis, C. suis, and C. canis.

Bioactive and Functional Properties of Ferulago angulata Essential Oil for Sustainable Food Packaging Systems

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Ferulago angulata essential oil (FAEO) contains monoterpenes such as α‐pinene, limonene, sabinene, and (Z)‐β‐ocimene, which contribute to its antimicrobial activity and moderate antioxidant properties. Incorporation of FAEO into biopolymer‐based films and encapsulation systems can improve its stability, dispersion, and controlled release.
