Complement and Antibody-mediated Enhancement of Red Blood Cell Invasion and Growth of Malaria Parasites

EBioMedicine, 2016
Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a deadly pathogen. The invasion of red blood cells (RBCs) by merozoites is a target for vaccine development. Although anti-merozoite antibodies can block invasion in vitro, there is no efficacy in vivo.

Molecular Detection, Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Babesia microti Infecting Wild Rodents

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Blood samples from 284 rodents captured across seven districts of Pakistan were screened for Babesia microti using 18S rRNA PCR. Overall prevalence was 12%, with infection detected in Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus. Phylogenetic analysis showed close similarity with global isolates.

A Review on Heat Stress in Broiler Chickens: Mechanisms, Effects and Mitigation Strategies

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Heat stress caused by high temperature and humidity compromises broiler health, welfare, and productivity by reducing feed intake, growth performance, and feed efficiency, while increasing mortality, oxidative stress, metabolic disturbances, intestinal dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, immune suppression, and meat quality deterioration.

Poultry Coccidiosis in and Around Arba Minch, Southern Ethiopia: A Study Based on Coprological and Postmortem Findings

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Ethiopia has a large chicken population, but its economic contribution is limited by disease challenges, especially coccidiosis. Despite coccidiosis's economic and health impacts, there is a notable gap in detailed knowledge regarding the predominant Eimeria species, associated intestinal lesions, and distribution ...

Genetic disruption of Plasmodium falciparum Merozoite surface antigen 180 (PfMSA180) suggests an essential role during parasite egress from erythrocytes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for severe malaria, develops within erythrocytes. Merozoite invasion and subsequent egress of intraerythrocytic parasites are essential for this erythrocytic cycle, parasite survival and pathogenesis.

Quantitative and Clinical Pharmacology Perspectives on Next‐Generation Malaria Prevention Using Vaccines and Long‐Acting Monoclonal Antibodies

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria remains a significant global health burden, particularly among pediatric populations in endemic regions. Recent advances in preventive interventions highlight the complementary roles of vaccines and long‐acting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in reducing infection risk.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
