A cloth-based hybridization array system for rapid detection of the food- and waterborne protozoan parasites Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2021
Protozoan parasites in food or water samples are generally detected using microscopy or PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. However, microscopy is subjective, requires a high degree of expertise and has limited sensitivity, while DNA sequencing requires ...

Melittin as a promising anti-protozoan peptide: current knowledge and future prospects

AMB Express, 2021
Protozoan diseases such as malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, and sleeping sickness still levy a heavy toll on human lives. Deplorably, only few classes of anti-protozoan drugs have thus far been developed. The problem is further compounded by their
