Soil‐Transmitted Helminthes (STHs) and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Amongst Preschool Children in the Bosomtwe District of Ghana

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose major public health challenges, especially in regions with poor healthcare access, inadequate sanitation, and limited clean water supply. When these two conditions recur, they can cause stunted growth in children between 24 and 59 months of age, a vital phase for physical ...

Exploring the Anthelmintic, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxic Potential of Khaya grandifoliola and Faidherbia albida Extract Combinations: In Vitro Studies on Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Soil‐transmitted helminth infection is endemic in Chad and constitutes a public health problem, particularly among school‐age children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the synergistic anthelmintic activity of the combined extracts of Khaya grandifoliola and Faidherbia albida used in Chad by traditional practitioners for the treatment ...

Molluscicidal Activity of Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) and Camellia sinensis var. Assamica (Purple Tea) Extracts Against Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the Major Vector Snail of Human Schistosomiasis in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Freshwater pulmonate snails are prevalent across Kenya and act as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites, some of which are snail vectors for human schistosomiasis. Chemical molluscicides have rarely been used routinely in Kenya to control snails due to high costs of manufacture and the subsequent environmental concerns associated with their use ...

Piplartine as an Innovative Natural Product With Dual Antiparasitic and Immunomodulatory Actions

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health burden, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income regions and demanding innovative therapeutic strategies. This review summarizes current evidence on piplartine (piperlongumine), a naturally occurring amide from Piper species with broad antiparasitic and immunomodulatory ...
