Tetracycline Resistance Pattern Among Lymphatic Filariasis‐Hyperendemic Communities in Southern Ghana: A Mixed‐Method Approach

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Tetracyclines continue to serve as a cost‐effective and essential treatment for common infections, particularly in resource‐limited regions such as lymphatic filariasis (LF)‐hyperendemic communities. The growing use of tetracycline‐based antibiotics by symptomatic filarial lymphedema patients, likely influenced by the ...

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Harnessing Advanced Molecular and Digital Tools for Early Detection of Vector‐Borne Pathogens in Mosquitoes to Control the Emergence and Resurgence of Infectious Diseases

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) transmitted by mosquitoes and other arthropods remain a major global health concern, responsible for millions of infections and deaths annually. These include malaria (Plasmodium spp.), dengue, Zika, chikungunya, West Nile fever, filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti), leishmaniasis (Leishmania spp.), and Lyme disease (Borrelia ...

Biodiversity of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in High‐Risk Areas of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases in Southeastern Iran

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Bam County, owing its geographical location, is one of the high‐risk areas of mosquito‐borne diseases due to its ecological, socioeconomic, and topographic characteristics, but it seems that no study has been done on the species composition and biodiversity of mosquitoes in this area, so the present study aimed at determining mosquito ...

Larvicidal Activity of Phytochemicals From Handroanthus impetiginosus Seeds Against Culex quinquefasciatus

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
The hexane extract was obtained from the seeds of H. impetiginosus, from which fatty acids and FAMEs were obtained. The three samples were tested on C. quinquefasciatus larvae, promoting mortality with moderate LC50 values. The hexane extract was analyzed by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC‐MS), and the most abundant compounds were ethyl oleate (

Molecular Characterisation of Fungi Populations in the Chronic Wounds of Filarial Lymphedema Patients in Southern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and associated chronic wounds are of public health concern worldwide. Despite the significant burden of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and its associated chronic wounds, the fungal component of the wound microbiome remains poorly understood. Previous research has primarily focused on bacterial pathogens,
