Forging a New Frontier: Antimicrobial Peptides and Nanotechnology Converging to Conquer Gastrointestinal Pathogens

Small, Volume 21, Issue 26, July 3, 2025.
This review explores the potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and nanotechnology for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections. It analyzes bacterial resistance mechanisms, the antimicrobial actions of AMPs, and advances in nanocarriers, such as lipid‐based, polymeric, metallic, and mesoporous silica systems, that enhance peptide protection ...

Prevalence of Salmonella, Cryptosporidium and Leptospira in Invasive Pond Slider (Trachemys scripta) in North‐Western Italy

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Natural lakes and ponds typically feature green areas where people engage in recreational and sporting activities. In Italy, these areas are often inhabited by non‐native freshwater turtles, even at high densities. However, freshwater turtles have been identified as natural carriers for various pathogens that can be transmitted to humans, making their ...

Range‐Wide Assessment of the Tasmanian Devil Gut Microbiome

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We conducted a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiomes at 10 locations across Tasmania, utilizing molecular methods such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and diet metabarcoding to investigate the influences of diet, location, sex, and age. Contrary to the prevailing notion that diet is a main driver of gut microbiome differences, we found that ...

Protein Coding Gene Nucleotide Substitution Pattern in the Apicomplexan ProtozoaCryptosporidium parvumandCryptosporidium hominis [PDF]

Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2008
Cryptosporidium parvumandC. hominisare related protozoan pathogens which infect the intestinal epithelium of humans and other vertebrates. To explore the evolution of these parasites, and identify genes under positive selection, we performed a pairwise whole-genome comparison between all orthologous protein coding genes inC. parvumandC. hominis.
