Landscape dynamics of a vector‐borne disease in the western US: How vector–habitat relationships inform disease hotspots

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Vesicular stomatitis (VS) is a vector‐borne viral disease that causes lesions in livestock, premises, county and state quarantines, and important economic losses. We investigated vector–habitat characteristics for vectors associated with VS in regions of recurrent disease within the western United States (US) that consistently lead to the ...

A recent update on new synthetic chiral compounds with antileishmanial activity

Chirality, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 1279-1297, October 2022., 2022
∎ Abstract Parasitic diseases, including malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis, affect billions of people and are responsible for almost 500,000 deaths/year. In particular, leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease, is considered a global public health problem because current drugs have several drawbacks including to toxicity, high cost, and ...

More than meets the eye: decrypting diversity reveals hidden interaction specificity between frogs and frog‐biting midges

Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 95-108, February 2022., 2022
Despite an overall generalist acoustic foraging behavior, Corethrella spp. partitioned frog host resources, and our findings support the presence of both generalist and specialist midge species. Frog‐biting midges discriminate between potential hosts by using additional close‐range recognition cues.

Enzootic transmission of Leishmania spp. in gallery forests of the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Gallery forests harbor mammals and sand flies that may be involved in the transmission of Leishmania spp. parasites. Characterizing the enzootic cycles of Leishmania spp. is essential for understanding its transmission dynamics.
