ABSTRACT Background Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonosis caused by bacteria in the genus Leptospira. Basic epidemiological information is crucial to mitigating disease risk but is lacking for leptospirosis; notably, the hosts responsible for maintaining Leptospira remain largely unknown.

Considering the Risks and Costs of Solid Organ Xenotransplantation
This perspective discusses the rationale, risks, and costs of whole‐organ xenotransplantation. It considers alternative strategies to obviate the demand for transplants and optimize allotransplantation systems and practices that do not impose xenotransplantation's harms and risks, and whether they are the most ethical and effective means to increase ...

This research highlights a novel application of protein nanoparticles to effectively modulate the strength, breadth, and bias of an immune response against influenza virus. Nanoparticles precisely co‐delivering antigen (H5) and multiple adjuvants (CpG and FliCc) present a way to improve and direct prophylactic immune responses which can be applicable ...

Achieving Optimal Health With Host‐Directed Therapies (HDTs) in Infectious Diseases—A New Horizon
Host‐directed therapies (HDTs) represent a transformative approach in infectious disease management by targeting host factors to enhance immune responses and inhibit viral replication. This innovative strategy leverages advanced genomics and gene editing technologies, offering promising avenues for improved patient outcomes and a new horizon in ...

This work identifies a potent, non‐membrane active, and non‐toxic AMP termed GN1, which substantially resensitizes MRSA to multiple β‐lactam antibiotics at low concentrations. GN1 functions by suppressing MRSA‐associated resistance determinants, including penicillin‐binding protein 2a (PBP2a) and β‐lactamase.

Exploring Aspartate Transcarbamoylase: A Promising Broad‐Spectrum Target for Drug Development
Pyrimidine biosynthesis is a pivotal process shared by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This review examines the applications and advantages of a series of inhibitors specifically designed to target aspartate transcarbamylase within the de novo biosynthetic pathway of the malarial parasite.
