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

Hypocortisolaemia with gastrointestinal haemorrhage in a young cat
Abstract An 8‐month‐old, female, spayed domestic shorthair presented with a 1‐week history of lethargy and anorexia. On admission, the cat had severe hypoglycaemia, and hypovolaemic and distributive shock were suspected. Mucosal defects identified by ultrasonography were suggestive of gastrointestinal ulceration.

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

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.
