Dietary Differentiation Among Sympatric Sri Lankan Bats Revealed by Nanopore Metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Dietary composition and prey–bat associations in Sri Lanka. ABSTRACT Understanding trophic partitioning within multispecies bat assemblages is essential for evaluating their ecological roles in agroecosystems and disease‐vector regulation. We assessed the diets of four sympatric cave‐roosting bats in Sri Lanka—Hipposideros speoris, Miniopterus ...

Peptide‐Enabled Nanoplatforms for Malaria and Leishmaniasis: From Intracellular Targeting to Translational Diagnostic Perspectives

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Peptide‐enabled nanoplatforms offer multifunctional strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of malaria and leishmaniasis. Liposomal, polymeric, and metallic nanocarriers, together with cell‐penetrating peptides and parasite‐derived mimotopes, can improve targeted drug delivery, stability, bioavailability, and intracellular localization.

Beyond the Active Site: First‐In‐Class Leishmania Infantum Trypanothione Reductase Dimerization Disruptors as Antileishmanial Leads

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
This review outlines a pioneering strategy to inhibit Leishmania infantum trypanothione reductase by disrupting its dimer interface. From peptides to small‐molecule proteomimetics, multiple chemotypes achieved potent enzymatic inhibition and notable cellular antileishmanial activity, highlighting a new therapeutic paradigm.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 5, Page e238-e249, 5/12 September 2026.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

A dataset of sandfly (Phlebotomus papatasi, Phlebotomus alexandri, and Phlebotomus sergenti) genital and pharyngeal images

Data in Brief
Sandflies serve as carriers for numerous tropical diseases, including leishmaniasis, bartonellosis, and sandfly fever. Furthermore, sandflies are species-specific when it comes to transmitting corresponding pathogen species. Hence, accurate classification and identification of sandfly species and gender are essential for various purposes such as ...
