Portable Photobioreactor‐Based Stock Culture of Skeletonema costatum for Sustainable Live Feed Production in Shrimp Hatcheries of Bangladesh

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study develops a portable photobioreactor in which Skeletonema costatum growth is optimized using Box‐Behnken design. The physico‐chemical parameters, such as temperature, salinity and pH are standardized to maximize culture duration and biomass production. The optimized biomass exhibits high protein content and essential fatty acids, particularly

Environmental DNA‐Based Quantification of an Invasive Tilapia Species in Tanzanian Inland Aquaculture

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT It can be challenging to determine the identity of tilapia species in aquaculture using morphological characteristics alone. In central Tanzania, there is ongoing expansion of small‐scale inland aquaculture, mainly focused on the large‐bodied non‐native Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and the native Wami tilapia (Oreochromis urolepis ...

Why, Immunologically, Housing‐Related Fungi and Endotoxins (and Other Chronic Pro‐Inflammatory Stressors) Risk Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation, Severe Asthma, and Translocating and Invasive Infections in Indigenous Communities in Canada

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 1/M1/TH1 and type 3/M1/TH17 pro‐inflammatory switches are risks for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) reactivation and ongoing infection transmission. This paper considers the heavy toll of reactivation risk in Indigenous communities in Canada and the chronic, everyday pro‐inflammatory stressors connected with type 3/M1/TH17 immune ...

Kinetoplast DNA‐aggregating proteins from the parasitic protozoan Crithidia fasciculata

FEBS Letters, 1990
Proteins from C. fasciculata, which preferentially aggregate the parasite's AT‐rich mitochondrial (kinetoplast) DNA in vitro, are reported. The aggregation is non‐topological, non‐covalent, independent of Mg2+ and ATP, but much improved by spennidine. We discuss how these proteins might modulate the shape and size of the parasite's mitochondrial genome.

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DNDI‐6148, a novel agent for leishmaniasis: A randomized, controlled, single ascending dose study in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 1087-1097, April 2026.
Aim The benzoxaborole derivative DNDI‐6148 is an antiparasitic agent with activity against multiple Leishmania protozoan species, including L. infantum and L. donovani, which cause visceral leishmaniasis. We investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of DNDI‐6148 in a randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled ...

O‐GlcNAcylation of nuclear proteins in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii

The FASEB Journal, 2013
The protozoan pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is able to switch between two developmental stages: tachyzoites, which replicate rapidly and cause severe disease, and dormant, cyst‐forming bradyzoites, which persist in organs and show a tropism for central nervous tissue such as the brain. Switching

Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...

Visceral Leishmaniasis in Somalia: Diagnosis and Management of a Classic Case in a Resource‐Limited Endemic Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), a severe systemic neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by Leishmania donovani complex protozoa, poses a significant public health threat, particularly in East Africa, where it is fatal if untreated. Somalia is known to be endemic, but the true burden and programmatic challenges are poorly documented due to long ...
