Peridomestic infestation by Triatoma pallidipennis and natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in Zacatepec, Morelos, Mexico Infestación peridoméstica por Triatoma pallidipennis e infección natural por Trypanosoma cruzi en Zacatepec, Morelos, México

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Entomological and community‐related risk factors for Chagas disease were assessed through peridomestic sampling, calculation of entomological indices and surveys of community knowledge, attitudes and practices. Forty‐six triatomines, all identified as Triatoma pallidipennis, were collected, and all specimens showed natural infection with Trypanosoma ...

Community Health Workers' Multiple Understandings of Schistosomiasis Transmission Pathways: Exploring Contextual Factors in Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya and Uganda

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Schistosomiasis remains a public health concern in sub‐Saharan Africa, affecting over 250 million people. In endemic settings, schistosomiasis transmission is not always understood exclusively in biomedical terms. Community health workers (CHWs) contribute to schistosomiasis control through mass drug administration and health ...

A Small Molecule Inhibitor of Pex3–Pex19 Interaction Disrupts Glycosome Biogenesis and Causes Lethality in Trypanosoma brucei

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma and Leishmania, are infectious zoonotic agents for a number of severe diseases such as African sleeping sickness and American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) that affect millions of people, mostly in the ...

Mutualist-Provisioned Resources Impact Vector Competency

mBio, 2019
Many symbionts supplement their host’s diet with essential nutrients. However, whether these nutrients also enhance parasitism is unknown. In this study, we investigated whether folate (vitamin B9) production by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) essential ...

Trypanosoma brucei Acyl-Protein Thioesterase-like (TbAPT-L) Is a Lipase with Esterase Activity for Short and Medium-Chain Fatty Acids but Has No Depalmitoylation Activity

Pathogens, 2022
Dynamic post-translational modifications allow the rapid, specific, and tunable regulation of protein functions in eukaryotic cells. S-acylation is the only reversible lipid modification of proteins, in which a fatty acid, usually palmitate, is ...

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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 489-497, September 2026.
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.

Field‐Deployable FTA Card for Sampling, Storage and Detection of Aeromonas spp. in Rainbow Trout: Four‐Year Ambient DNA Stability Validated

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogen detection in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum 1792) aquaculture typically involves multi‐step procedures, including sample transport, bacterial isolation, culture and subsequent molecular analysis. Aeromonas salmonicida and Aeromonas hydrophila are major pathogens causing significant losses; however, conventional ...
