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.

Ecological Survey of the Peridomestic Sand Flies of an Endemic Focus of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in the South‐East of Morocco

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Leishmaniasis is a parasitosis caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania and is transmitted by Phlebotominae sand flies. An entomological survey was carried out in different localities of Zagora Province. Our work allowed us to establish an inventory of sand flies to study potential vectors of leishmaniasis and to compare the composition and the ...
