The Potential of Bioinformatics in Revolutionizing Disease Diagnosis in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Despite its role in healthcare delivery and accessibility, the potential of bioinformatics to transform disease diagnosis in SSA remains unknown. This narrative review aims to assess the current status of bioinformatics initiatives in SSA and evaluate the role of bioinformatics in transforming diagnosis of major diseases in ...

Evidence for high levels of vertical transmission in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]

, 2009
Toxoplasma gondii is a highly ubiquitous and prevalent parasite. Despite the cat being the only definitive host, it is found in almost all geographical areas and warm blooded animals. Three routes of transmission are recognised: ingestion of oocysts shed

Simulated Microgravity Causes Faster Replication During Acute Infection of ME49‐Toxoplasma Gondii and Alterations in Host Cells

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Simulated microgravity (SMG) alters the growth and morphology of host cells and induces parasite replication during acute T. gondii infection. In this study, we examined host cells and Type II T. gondii using a 3D clinostat. Increased number of host cells and multicellular spheroids observed in Vero cells and HFF.

Sharing Is Caring?—Pathogens and Pathogen‐Specific Antibodies in Arctic Endemic Seal Species and the Newly Sympatric Harbor Seals in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.

Goussia trichogasteri n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eimenidae) infecting the aquarium-cultured golden gourami Trichogaster trichopterus trichopterus [PDF]

, 1992
Goussia trichogasteri n. sp. is described from the gut of the aquarium fish Trichogaster trichopterus trichopterus. Gamogonic stages develop epicellularly in the gut epithelium. Oocysts are shed in early stage of sporulation.

Impact of artemether–lumefantrine treatment, circadian rhythm, and serum replacement on the infectiousness of wild Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes to Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto mosquitoes

Frontiers in Malaria
BackgroundIn the era of asymptomatic gametocytemia, carriers are scarce but serve as key reservoirs for Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. Transmission-blocking interventions (TBIs) are gaining attention, considering factors such as artemether ...

Prevalence and co-infection of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in Apodemus sylvaticus in an area relatively free of cats [PDF]

, 2011
The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is prevalent worldwide and can infect a remarkably wide range of hosts despite felids being the only definitive host.
