Practical and Ethical Issues in Big Data and Machine Learning Forecasts of Zambian Community Forestry Engagement

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Approaches integrating geospatial “big data” and machine learning will likely be increasingly used to predict conservation‐related human behavior, such as patterns of local engagement, in socioecological systems. Yet, few studies evaluate both the technical and ethical aspects of such applications.

Frog‐biting midges and mosquitoes: Comparative insights from the Oriental and Sino‐Japanese regions

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review synthetizes current knowledge of frog‐biting mosquitoes and midges in the Oriental region and Japan, revealing strong geographic biases in research despite shared amphibian lineages. We highlight key knowledge gaps to guide future studies. Abstract Frog‐biting mosquitoes (Culicidae) and midges (Corethrellidae) are old hematophagous lineages

Disruption of Circadian Rhythms in Synaptic Activity of the Suprachiasmatic Nuclei by African Trypanosomes and Cytokines

Neurobiology of Disease, 2002
Disturbances in biological rhythms pose a major disease problem, not the least in the aging population. Experimental sleeping sickness, caused by Trypanosoma brucei brucei, in rats constitutes a unique and robust chronic model for studying mechanisms of ...

Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review and meta‐analyses: Prevalence, morbidity and mortality

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 291-319, March 2026.
Abstract Background Equine trypanosomiasis is a neglected protozoal disease. Objectives To perform a systematic search of literature to explore: (1) In equines what is the global geographical distribution and prevalence of trypanosomiasis? In low and middle‐income countries (LMICs) is trypanosomiasis more prevalent than in higher‐income countries (HICs)

Cytotoxicity and Antimicrobial Activity of GaMF1 Analogs

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 4, 25 February 2026.
GaMF1 is a reported, highly potent inhibitor of mycobacterial ATP synthase. Structural modification of this scaffold significantly changes biological activity. We present GaMF1 analogues with strong antiparasitic effects, potential antiproliferative properties, and discuss the selectivity limitations of the parent compound and its analogues.

The structural, functional, and therapeutic potential of metacaspases in fungi and protozoa

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 4, Page 948-958, February 2026.
Metacaspases are Ca2+‐dependent cysteine proteases whose structural characteristics, particularly calcium binding and autocatalytic processing, govern their activation and biological functions. These enzymes differ among microorganisms and regulate their cell cycles, making them excellent targets for drug development.

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
