Trypanosoma (Euglenozoa: Kinetoplastea) infections in rodents, bats, and shrews along an elevation and disturbance gradient in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

Records of the Australian Museum, 2023
Surveillance of wildlife pathogens is critically important to the conservation of species and human health. However, few species of wildlife in biodiverse countries like Indonesia, especially endemic species in intact ecosystems, have been screened for ...

Fungal infection affects sexual signalling and mate choice in the sugarcane borer

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 1282-1291, December 2026.
Fungus‐infected Diatraea saccharalis females exhibit enhanced attractiveness to males in wind tunnel assays. Fungal infection alters the pheromone profile of females, increasing the relative abundance of Z9‐16: Ald, a minor but behaviourally active component of the species' sex pheromone blend.

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 ...

The crystal structure of the Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase BBE22 resolves a long‐standing annotation error

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1974-1981, October 2026.
The crystal structure of Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase (PncA/BBE22) reveals the correct full‐length protein initiated from a non‐canonical AUU start codon. The structure validates previous biochemical findings and resolves a long‐standing annotation error, demonstrating that the truncated database sequence is structurally incompatible with the ...

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 ...

Harnessing Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Diagnostics and Infectious Disease Management: Integrating Host‐ and Pathogen‐Derived Cues

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
This review summarizes the diagnostic and monitoring potential of host‐pathogen extracellular vesicles (hpEVs) in infectious diseases, advances in their isolation and analysis, and challenges to clinical translation. ABSTRACT Conventional infectious disease diagnostics often rely on detecting pathogen‐derived factors or an immune response directed ...

Morphological and molecular characterization of an African freshwater fish trypanosome, including its development in a leech vector [PDF]

, 2020
Trypanosomes are ubiquitous blood parasites of fishes and at least 16 species were originally described infecting African freshwater fishes. This number was later reduced to six and in the late 1990s it was proposed that most records of freshwater fish ...

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 ...
