Dogs are major reservoirs of Trypanosoma cruzi in Texas, United States. This study evaluated a novel Tc‐24 recombinant antigen ELISA for the serologic detection of Chagas disease in dogs and found it to have high sensitivity and specificity compared to existing commercial tests. The Tc‐24 Chagas ELISA provides a reliable tool for enhanced canine Chagas

Nascent RNA sequencing reveals mechanisms of gene regulation in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]
Gene expression in Plasmodium falciparum is tightly regulated to ensure successful propagation of the parasite throughout its complex life cycle. The earliest transcriptomics studies in P.

Antiprotozoal Activity of Highly Substituted Pyrazole and Pyrimidine Derivatives
Based on previously identified antimalarial agents, a series of highly substituted pyrazole and pyrimidines derivatives has been synthesized and tested for antiplasmodial and antileishmanial activity. Selected derivatives show promising antiplasmodial effect with a predicted favorable pharmacokinetic profile.

Background. Current malaria diagnostic tests, including microscopy and antigen-detecting rapid tests, cannot reliably detect low-density infections. Molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are highly sensitive but remain too complex for

The antiplasmodial properties of a series of fluorinated peptoid‐based histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors were evaluated by screening them for their activity against asexual blood and liver stage malaria parasites and assessing their mammalian cell toxicity, to elucidate structure–activity and structure‐toxicity relationships. Compound 1h emerged as

In Vitro Leishmanicidal Efficacy of Synthesized Arylidene Analogues of Glitazone
ABSTRACT Diabetes is a fast‐growing health issue in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with ~80% of diabetics living in the tropics and sub‐tropics. It is a deadly condition claiming the lives of millions of individuals annually, with no therapeutic treatment available to date. The management of diabetes is thus limited to symptomatic relief by glycemic

Chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection potentiates adipose tissue macrophage polarization toward an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and contributes to diabetes progression in a diet-induced obesity model [PDF]
Chronic obesity and Chagas disease (caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi) represent serious public health concerns. The interrelation between parasite infection, adipose tissue, immune system and metabolism in an obesogenic context, has not been ...

The Diagnostic Performance of a Sysmex XN‐31 Automated Malaria Analyzer vs. Expert Microscopy
ABSTRACT Introduction Malaria is a common and life‐threatening infection. Malaria diagnosis needs to be fast and reliable. Although malaria microscopy is currently the gold standard, it is laborious, requires extensive training, and relies heavily on the proficiency of microscopists.
