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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Host‐Driven Genetic Diversity of Leptospira in the Americas: A Continental Perspective

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.
