Synthesis and Evaluation of the First Generation of Glycosylated Nucleoside Analogues as Potential Inhibitors of the Base J Metabolism in Kinetoplastid Parasites

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 10, 9 March 2026.
Novel analogues of the kinetoplastid‐specific DNA base J unlock a new way to target parasite epigenetic regulation. Some compounds selectively inhibit Leishmania and Trypanosoma species without harming human cells, revealing a promising route toward innovative antiparasitic therapies.

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 280-329, February 2026.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Synthesis and In Vitro Activity of Hypofuran B and Analogs Against Plasmodium Falciparum and Trypanosoma Cruzi

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2026.
Hypofuran B, drynaran, and a series of analogs are obtined by crossed aldol condensation from furfural dereivatives. Compunds are tested for in vitro activity agaisnt Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium falciparum. Best results are obtained Against P. falciparum, with IC50 values ranging from 5,35 to 10,35 µg mL−1.

Modelling the potential geographic distribution of triatomines infected by Triatoma virus in the southern cone of South America [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Triatoma virus (TrV) is the only entomopathogenous virus identified in triatomines. We estimated the potential geographic distribution of triatomine species naturally infected by TrV, using remotely sensed and meteorological environmental ...

Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

The P2X7 Receptor and Its Relation to Neglected Tropical Diseases: Focusing on Chagas Disease

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) that can lead to severe cardiac complications, including chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy. While NTDs are caused by a variety of pathogens—such as protozoa, bacteria, viruses, and helminths, Chagas disease remains underexplored, particularly regarding host immune responses.

Capture of Triatoma arthurneivai (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) using a new luminous trap in Southeast Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2011
INTRODUCTION: Triatomine bug captures in the wild are laborious and time-consuming. Some traps may assist in this task. We report a new trap design and the capture of a specimen of a triatomine rarely found.
