Targeting Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase‐Activating Death Domain Protein of Brugia malayi for Construction of a Multi‐Epitope Subunit Vaccine Against Lymphatic Filariasis

Medicine Advances, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 177-192, September 2025.
We focused on the MAP kinase activating death domain (MADD) protein of Brugia malayi as a candidate for a vaccine against lymphatic filariasis (LF). Our results demonstrated a significant increase in the production of memory B‐cells, T‐cells, and antibodies, which are crucial for removing microfilariae from the circulation of infected individuals. This

Current Gaps in Survey Design and Analysis for Molecular Xenomonitoring of Vector‐Borne Neglected Tropical Diseases: A Systematic Review

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 9, Page 893-907, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Molecular xenomonitoring is a surveillance method for vector‐borne diseases where vectors are tested for molecular pathogen markers. Testing is typically on pools (groups) of vectors. Molecular xenomonitoring is a sensitive and efficient complement to human‐based surveillance.
