Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Mechanisms of Immune Evasion, Dissemination, and Persistence in Leishmania amazonensis Infection

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmania amazonensis is one of the etiological agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis in its localised form. Moreover, this parasite can cause more severe disease conditions, such as diffuse and disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis. The development of more severe clinical manifestations is associated with the parasite's ability to establish a ...

Different Sequential Renal Involvement in a Patient With HIV and Hepatitis C: From HIV‐ or Leishmaniasis‐Related Collapsing Glomerulosclerosis to Direct‐Acting Antivirals’ Renal Amyloidosis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The paradigm of renal involvement in HIV patients has changed in recent years, from HIV‐associated nephropathy to nephroangiosclerosis, due to the increased survival of these patients and their comorbidities. Some of these are leishmaniasis and hepatitis C and their treatments, especially direct‐acting antivirals, which may induce reconstitution of the

Nonthermal Preservation of Camel Milk: Comparative Insights Into Electromagnetic and Microwave Processing

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Camel milk is valued for its distinctive nutritional profile and potential therapeutic benefits, yet its rapid spoilage due to high microbial susceptibility limits its commercial potential. Conventional thermal pasteurization ensures microbial safety but compromises heat‐sensitive nutrients and bioactive compounds.

The P2X7 Receptor and Its Relation to Neglected Tropical Diseases: Focusing on Chagas Disease

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) that can lead to severe cardiac complications, including chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy. While NTDs are caused by a variety of pathogens—such as protozoa, bacteria, viruses, and helminths, Chagas disease remains underexplored, particularly regarding host immune responses.
