Lipid and fatty acid metabolism in trypanosomatids
Microbial Cell, 2021 Trypanosomiases and leishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases that have been spreading to previously non-affected areas in recent years. Identification of new chemotherapeutics is needed as there are no vaccines and the currently available treatment ...

Immune Consequences of Metabolic Syndrome and Its Treatment: A Cytokine Perspective
Immunology, EarlyView.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) who were not using glucose‐and/or lipid lowering medication (GLLM) exhibited a broader cytokine production profile after in vitro antigen‐specific stimulation than PBMCs from individuals with MetS using such medications and from healthy donors.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Tropical farmers try to adapt calf‐rearing systems to temperate dairy industry standards. Calves in tick‐infested areas develop stronger immunity to TBD under controlled exposure to ticks. Early tick exposure promotes sustainable management, balancing tick infestation and developing TBD immunity.

Canine Leishmaniosis in Italy: Geospatial Trends and Incidence, a Shift in Epidemiological Approach
Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) has shown a marked geographic expansion in Italy, progressively affecting central and northern regions previously considered non‐endemic. Laboratory‐based prevalence estimates remain informative in well‐designed surveys; however, prevalence derived from diagnostic submissions may be influenced by study ...

The Delay in the Licensing of Protozoal Vaccines: A Comparative History
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Although viruses and bacteria have been known as agents of diseases since 1546, 250 years went by until the first vaccines against these pathogens were developed (1796 and 1800s).

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.Dicentrine, an aporphine alkaloid, exhibits potent in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania species with high selectivity and low macrophage cytotoxicity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the compound triggers parasite death possibly by inducing mitochondrial membrane disruption and oxidative stress.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.A total of 654 blood samples were collected from healthy dogs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in Pakistan and screened for the presence of Hepatozoon canis. Genetic diversity of the detected H. canis DNA, infection‐associated risk factors, and changes in the complete blood count of the host due to parasitic activity were also evaluated.
