ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

From Natural to Human‐Dominated Seascapes: Habitat Loss for Guiana Dolphins Over Two Decades
ABSTRACT Changes in natural environments, such as coastal and marine zones, caused by human activities impact the quality of habitats and their inhabitants, ultimately jeopardising species conservation. As human activity is ever‐increasing, it is imperative to understand how multiple stressors, such as shipping, fisheries and pollution, affect marine ...

Data on the Distribution and Ecology of Pistia stratiotes L. (Araceae) in Hungary
Free‐floating macrophyte invasions pose an increasing threat to lowland freshwater systems in Central Europe, particularly in thermally influenced canal networks. This study provides the first detailed assessment of the distribution, habitat conditions, dispersal, and reproduction of Pistia stratiotes along the Élővíz Canal in southeastern Hungary ...

Outer Membrane Vesicles Mediate the Secretion and Nuclear Trafficking of a Bacterial Nucleomodulin
(A) We propose that Helicobacter pylori secretes a nucleomodulin, Tumour Necrosis Factor‐α‐inducing protein (Tipα), predominantly via extracellular vesicles (EVs), also known as outer membrane vesicles, rather than as free protein. (B) EVs carrying Tipα enter eukaryotic cells by endocytosis and independently of surface‐expressed nucleolin, then traffic

Abstract TBC (Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16) domain‐containing proteins constitute the widespread family of GTPase‐activating proteins (GAPs). They interact with the Rab superfamily of small GTPases, stimulate GTP hydrolysis, and regulate vesicle trafficking. TBC1D17, involved in Shiga toxin trafficking, autophagy and glucose metabolism regulation, constitutes an ...
