Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

Natural Products from Mexican Medicinal Plants as Promising Trypanocidal Drugs

ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Chagas disease (American Trypanosomiasis) is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Worldwide it is one of the seventeen neglected tropical diseases. There is a need of new drugs. This review assesses the literature (2012‐2024) of secondary metabolites isolated from Mexican plants active against this parasite.

Discrete typing units of Trypanosoma cruzi identified in rural dogs and cats in the humid Argentinean Chaco [PDF]

, 2012
The discrete typing units (DTUs) of Trypanosoma cruzi that infect domestic dogs and cats have rarely been studied. With this purpose we conducted a cross-sectional xenodiagnostic survey of dog and cat populations residing in 2 infested rural villages in ...

Extracellular Vesicles From Fungal Infection in Humans: A Key Player in Immunological Responses

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 4, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections cause approximately 1.6 million deaths annually. Diagnosing and treating fungal infections is difficult due to limited access to diagnostic tests and rising antifungal resistance. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate interactions between fungal cells and hosts, significantly influencing the pathogen‐host relationship ...

A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.
