DNA barcoding and geometric morphometry of tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) in Thailand and a new record of a Thai horse fly

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Tabanus tenens identified in this study is a newly recorded species in Thailand. DNA barcoding using the cox1 gene identified tabanid species in the present study. WGM data from different sites served as a reference for species identification. Abstract Tabanid flies are gaining high medical and veterinary importance due to their role as a vector of ...

Targeting Expanded CUG and CTG Repeats as a Therapeutic Approach for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
DM1 is an RNA gain‐of‐function disease caused by CTG repeat expansion, producing toxic r(CUG)exp RNA that sequesters MBNL1 and impairs splicing. This review covers the field of CUG and CTG ligands identified or rationally designed as DM1 drug candidates, highlighting their molecular design, RNA‐ or DNA‐binding modes, in vitro affinities and ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Melarsoprol Resistance in African Trypanosomiasis.

Trends in Parasitology, 2018
Arsenicals were introduced as monotherapies for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, over 100 years ago. Toxicity has always been an issue but these drugs have proven to be both effective and quite durable. Unfortunately,

Advancing diagnosis and treatment for human African trypanosomiasis in Nigeria: challenges and future directions

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), commonly known as sleeping sickness, remains a significant health threat in sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, the challenges of diagnosing and treating HAT are profound, especially in resource-constrained, remote areas.
