Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Gastrointestinal Parasites of Free‐Ranging Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Kathmandu: A One Health Perspective on Shared Environmental Risks

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Free‐ranging rhesus macaques at Kathmandu's UNESCO heritage sites exhibit a 77.1% prevalence of potentially zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites. These findings highlight significant environmental contamination and a shared exposure risk, emphasizing the critical need for integrated One Health management strategies at the urban human‐wildlife interface.

In Vitro Antiparasitic Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Sarcocystis Bradyzoites

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In vitro, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit dose and time‐dependent antiparasitic activity against Sarcocystis bradyzoites from sheep, achieving up to 59.53% mortality at 800 µg/mL after 120 min. These results suggest AgNPs may be a potential alternative to traditional drugs, meriting further in vivo investigation for veterinary use.

VAMP8 mucin exocytosis attenuates intestinal pathogenesis by Entamoeba histolytica

, 2017
The intestinal mucosa encounters a barrage of ingested insults within the host yet under homeostasis elegantly facilitates nutrient absorption and sustenance of the commensal microbiota. An essential defence mechanism employed by the host is limiting the
