Estimating the concentration of gold nanoparticles incorporated on Natural Rubber membranes using Multi-Level Starlet Optimal Segmentation [PDF]
This study consolidates Multi-Level Starlet Segmentation (MLSS) and Multi-Level Starlet Optimal Segmentation (MLSOS), techniques for photomicrograph segmentation that use starlet wavelet detail levels to separate areas of interest in an input image.

Boundary behaviours of Leishmania mexicana: a hydrodynamic simulation study [PDF]
It is well established that the parasites of the genus Leishmania exhibit complex surface interactions with the sandfly vector midgut epithelium, but no prior study has considered the details of their hydrodynamics. Here, the boundary behaviours of motile Leishmania mexicana promastigotes are explored in a computational study using the boundary element

Compressed AFM-IR hyperspectral nanoimaging of single Leishmania parasites [PDF]
Infrared hyperspectral imaging is a powerful approach in the field of materials and life sciences. However, the extension to modern sub-diffraction nanoimaging still remains a highly inefficient technique, as it acquires data via inherent sequential schemes.

Leishmaniasis in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A National Multicenter Study of GETECCU
ABSTRACT Background Leishmaniasis (LI) is a vector‐borne illness caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania. Data on the features of LI in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are scarce. Aim To describe the characteristics of patients with IBD who present with leishmaniasis, infection outcomes and the risk factors associated with ...

Abstract Kinetoplastids are a large and diverse protist group, spanning ecologically important free‐living forms to medically important parasites. The taxon Allobodonidae holds an unresolved position within kinetoplastids, and the sole described species, Allobodo chlorophagus, is uncultivated, being a necrotroph/parasite of macroalgae. Here we describe
