Nanobodies as next‐generation targeting platforms: From discovery technologies to translational biomedicine

VIEW, EarlyView.
Nanobodies, derived from the variable domains of camelid heavy‐chain‐only antibodies, have emerged as transformative biomedical tools due to their nanoscale size, exceptional stability, and unique capacity to recognize cryptic epitopes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field, outlining the structural and biochemical features of ...

A mathematical model for evaluating the role of trypanocide treatment of cattle in the epidemiology and control of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense sleeping sickness in Uganda

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2019
Background: Human and animal African trypanosomiases impose a large economic and health burden in their endemic regions. Large strides have been made in the control of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), yet these efforts have largely focused on the non-

Local Solutions to Structural Issues: The Fetishization of Custom in Rural Development Interventions in Côte d'Ivoire

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the paradox of seeking local solutions in rural development when conflicts result from structural transformations of the agrarian economy driven by national political choices. Since the 1990s, participatory approaches inspired by neo‐institutionalist theories of local governance have encouraged development actors to view ...

Community Health Workers' Multiple Understandings of Schistosomiasis Transmission Pathways: Exploring Contextual Factors in Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya and Uganda

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Schistosomiasis remains a public health concern in sub‐Saharan Africa, affecting over 250 million people. In endemic settings, schistosomiasis transmission is not always understood exclusively in biomedical terms. Community health workers (CHWs) contribute to schistosomiasis control through mass drug administration and health ...

Garlic‐Derived Behavioural Deterrents: Diallyl Disulfide and TrpA1‐Mediated Suppression of Insect Reproduction

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Anti-Trypanosomal Proteasome Inhibitors Cure Hemolymphatic and Meningoencephalic Murine Infection Models of African Trypanosomiasis

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
Current anti-trypanosomal therapies suffer from problems of longer treatment duration, toxicity and inadequate efficacy, hence there is a need for safer, more efficacious and ‘easy to use’ oral drugs.
