Rhenium Complexes as Antimicrobial Agents

Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
Rhenium complexes are stepping into the fight against superbugs. Our new review explores how these metallic complexes could inspire the next generation of antimicrobial therapies. ABSTRACT The escalating crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates the exploration of unconventional therapeutic scaffolds.

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Integrated control of vector-borne diseases of livestock--pyrethroids: panacea or poison?

, 2003
Tick- and tsetse-borne diseases cost Africa approximately US$4-5 billion per year in livestock production-associated losses. The use of pyrethroid-treated cattle to control ticks and tsetse promises to be an increasingly important tool to counter this ...

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2014
Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]

, 2017
African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.

Measure of Molecular Diversity within the Trypanosoma brucei Subspecies Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense as Revealed by Genotypic Characterization

Experimental Parasitology, 2001
We have evaluated whether sequence polymorphisms in the rRNA intergenic spacer region can be used to study the relatedness of two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei. Thirteen T. brucei isolates made up of 6 T. b. brucei and 7 T. b. gambiense were analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

Comparative evaluation of the attractiveness of new polyethylene screens versus West African tiny target for the control of tsetse flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The material has no significant difference in captures (non‐shiny cotton‐polyester screens vs. the shiny polyethylene screens), but the vertical screen attracted significantly more G. tachinoides for each type of material. Full white horizontal screen was significantly lower than the reference WATT.

Trypanosoma evansi: Genetic variability detected using amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of Kenyan isolates [PDF]

, 2006
We compared two methods to generate polymorphic markers to investigate the population genetics of Trypanosoma evansi; random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses.

In Vitro Antitrypanosomal and Antibacterial Activity of Aqueous, Hydroethanolic and Ethanolic Extracts of Rumex obtusifolius L. Leaf and Root

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 138, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant extracts are an important raw material for the development of new drugs. Rumex obtusifolius L., popularly known as ‘bitter dock’, has significant pharmacological properties. This study evaluated the in vitro antitrypanosomal activity of aqueous, hydroethanolic and ethanolic extracts from the leaf and roots of R. obtusifolius L.
