PD‐L2 Inhibits Protective Immunity, Th2 Cell Functional Quality, and GATA‐3 Expression During Filarial Nematode Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
During filarial nematode infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, PD‐L2 down‐regulates Th2 cell expression of GATA‐3 and Th2 cytokines and enables parasite survival. Concurrently, B cells suppress protective immunity through a mechanism that does not involve PD‐L2.

The Impact of Memory Effects on Lymphatic Filariasis Transmission Using Incidence Data From Ghana

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Modeling Lymphatic Filariasis by incorporating disease awareness through fractional derivative operators. ABSTRACT Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by a parasitic worm transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. In this study, a mathematical model is developed using the Caputo fractional operator.

Fluralaner treatment of chickens kills the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 385-392, June 2025.
Chickens treated with fluralaner, fenbendazole or ivermectin did not repel Culex quinquefasciatus from feeding. The mortality of Culex quinquefasciatus feeding on fluralaner‐treated chickens was significantly higher than that of those fed on control chickens at 3 and 7 days post‐treatment.

Maternal IgE Influence on Fetal and Infant Health

Immunological Reviews, Volume 331, Issue 1, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the most recently discovered and evolved mammalian antibody type, best known for interacting with mast cells (MCs) as immune effectors. IgE‐mediated antigen sensing by MC provides protection from parasites, venomous animals, bacteria, and other insults to barrier tissues exposed to the environment.
