Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

PROTEOMICS, Volume 25, Issue 21-22, Page 253-276, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

Complete Resolution of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis With a Novel Topical Combination Therapy: A Case Series

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) remains a therapeutic challenge in endemic regions, with 600,000–1 million new cases annually facing limited treatment options. We present a case series evaluating an innovative topical combination therapy for acute‐phase CL in Shiraz, Iran.

Antileishmanial Activities of Carvacrol Nanoencapsulate in Biopolymeric Nanoparticles

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 9, September 2025.
The study obtained biopolymeric nanoparticles containing carvacrol (NPCar) and evaluated their anti‐leishmanial activity. NPCar obtained presented physicochemical characteristics due to its ideal nanometric size and zeta potential, and low polydispersity index.

Magnitude of unreported kala-azar cases in a highly endemic district of Bihar, India: A positive impact of Indian elimination programme

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2019
Background & objectives: In India, kala-azar surveillance is weak and no public-private partnership exists for disease containment. Estimate of disease burden is not reliably available and still cases are going to private providers for the treatment. The
