Persistent Hyperglycaemia and Transient Dysglycaemia in Tuberculosis: Evaluating the Bidirectional Interaction With Type‐2 Diabetes Mellitus and Clinical Outcomes

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 523-531, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Poor glycaemic control, indicated by a haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of 7% or higher, increases the risk of active tuberculosis (TB) in patients with diabetes, while active TB can worsen glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, contributing to type‐2 diabetes mellitus (DM) progression.

Evidences That Host Genetic Background More Than the Environment Shapes the Microbiota of the Snail Bulinus truncatus, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbiota have emerged as fundamental regulators of host physiology, shaping both ecological interactions and evolutionary trajectories. Yet, the determinants of microbiota diversity and structure in wild populations—particularly the respective roles of host genetics and environmental context—are still poorly understood.

Diagnostic Concordance of Two‐ and Three‐Gene SARS‐CoV‐2 Molecular Assays in Cameroon: Implications for Efficient Pandemic Response in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 4, February 2026.
This study assessed the interoperability of DaAn Gene, ThermoFisher, and GeneXpert assays used for COVID‐19 testing in Cameroon. GeneXpert showed higher diagnostic performance over ThermoFisher, with all assays having excellent agreement at high viral loads (CT < 20).

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Model‐based evaluation of the interaction between ritonavir‐boosted atazanavir and rifampicin in Ugandan adults with HIV

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 12, Page 3471-3481, December 2025.
Aim Concomitant treatment of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is complicated by drug‐drug interactions (DDI). This analysis aimed to characterize the DDI between ritonavir‐boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) and rifampicin in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

New Evidence of TLR4 and TLR9 Variants Influencing Parasitaemia and Symptoms of Plasmodium vivax Infection

International Journal of Immunogenetics, Volume 52, Issue 6, Page 371-378, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) induce the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and regulate the immune response to Plasmodium vivax infection. Genetic variants of TLRs are associated with susceptibility and severity of malaria in different populations. This study aimed to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in TLR1, TLR4, TLR7, TLR8,
