Abstract Background Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by Leishmania protozoa. The disease manifests in several clinical presentations including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis....

Abstract Infectious disease diagnostics has been transformed by metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS), an unbiased approach that detects bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single assay. By sequencing ...

ABSTRACT Dog feces in public places may contain parasites with zoonotic potential, thereby contaminating the soil and infecting humans and animals. Parasitic diseases are prevalent in immunocompromised individuals, such ...

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are a serious threat to global food security, with estimated annual losses exceeding $173 billion. Beyond their direct damage, interactions between PPNs and other phytopathogens can lead ...

We report that a novel Arabidopsis thaliana kinase cascade shows telltale similarities to the kinase cascades of oxidative stress response kinases (OSRKs) from humans and animals. A previously uncharacterized A. thaliana...

ABSTRACT Microbiology, the study of microorganisms, is of critical importance to a variety of fields, including medicine, nursing, genetics, and immunology, as well as to students training to enter those fields. By defin...

Abstract Background Bacterial diseases include any illness caused by bacteria. Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that can only be seen with a microscope. Other types of microorganisms include viruses, fungi, and some para...

Abstract Background Schistosomiasis due to the species Schistosoma intercalatum/guineensis, which had been traditionally classified as a single species, is one of the least studied. This work describes epidemiological, c...

Abstract Background Identification of risk and protective factors for canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is essential to understand the epidemiology of the disease and direct prevention and control strategies. Building ...

Abstract Background Anthropogenic pressures, including urbanisation, globalisation and climate change, have facilitated an increased risk for emergence or re-emergence of mosquito-borne diseases into regions such as the ...

Abstract Background Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Benin, particularly among children under five years of age. Despite the wide deployment of vector control measures the disease burden remains high. B...

Plasmodiophora brassicae, the obligate parasite responsible for clubroot in Brassica crops and other crucifers, poses a major challenge to sustainable disease management due to its biotrophic lifestyle and adaptability. ...

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an apicomplexan parasite that infects most warm-blooded animals, including approximately one-third of the human population worldwide. Dense granule proteins (GRAs), secreted from speciali...

Abstract Background Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Leishmania. The infection is transmitted by the bite of infected female sandflies of the genus Phlebotomus in the Ol...

Abstract Introduction Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite that causes trichomoniasis, a frequently diagnosed infection that accounts for more than half of non-viral sexually transmitted diseases. An increased i...

Hemozoin (Hz) is a crystalline by-product, which is produced when the Plasmodium species destroy haemoglobin, and it is commonly recognised that it leads to how our bodies respond to malaria. Although we understand prett...

IntroductionIn co-endemic regions, hosts are concurrently infected by related apicomplexan hemoparasites, Plasmodium and the zoonotic pathogen Babesia. This study investigates how Plasmodium berghei XAT-Babesia rodhaini ...

Abstract Theileriosis, a tick-borne disease caused by apicomplexan parasites of the genus Theileria, poses a major constraint to livestock productivity worldwide. Existing chemotherapeutics are increasingly limited by ho...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Bangladesh has dramatically reduced its malaria burden since 2000, confining the disease to specific geographic zones. However, the national 2030 elimination goal is now threatened by a compl...

Abstract The VII Brazilian Symposium on Toxoplasmosis (SIMBRATOX) and the IV International Symposium on Toxoplasmosis (SINTOX) were held remotely from October 6 to 8, 2025, under the theme “Toxoplasmosis – Strengthen...

Abstract Infections with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi are widespread in the Americas and can lead to severe cardiac and/or gastrointestinal pathology. Current treatments are limited to monotherapies character...

Abstract Background Cryptosporidium spp. is an important intestinal protozoan parasite causing morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with HIV+/AIDS. A cross-sectional study was conduct...
