First report of acaricidal efficacy from plumbagin on larvae of Rhipicephalus microplus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus resistant to conventional acaricides
Exp Parasitol. 2023 Oct 11:108632. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2023.108632. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe problem of resistance to acaricides in ticks such as Rhipicephalus microplus and R. sanguineus has motivated the search for control alternatives, such as the use of extracts and secondary metabolites from plants. Plumbagin is a natural product present in plants such as Plumbago zeylanica L., Diospyros kaki and D. anisandra, of which acaricidal activity has been reported. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro the acaricidal efficacy of plumbagin on larvae of R. microplus and R. sanguineus resist...

The gene expression and proteomic profiling of Acanthamoeba isolates
CONCLUSION: The gene expression data suggests that lysophospholipase, phospholipase, S8/S53 peptidase, carboxylesterase, and mannose-binding protein (MBP) could play a role in the contact-dependent and independent mechanisms of Acanthamoeba pathogenesis. In addition, the proteomic profiling of the 3 isolates revealed differential protein expression crucial for parasite growth, survival, and virulence. Our results provide baseline data for selecting possible pathogenic targets that could be utilized for designing knockout experiments in the future.PMID:37820893 | DOI:10.1016/j.exppara.2023.108630 (Source: Experimental Parasitology)

Expansion microscopy of trichomonads
Exp Parasitol. 2023 Oct 4:108629. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2023.108629. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLight microscopy has significantly advanced in recent decades, especially concerning the increased resolution obtained in fluorescence images. Here we present the Expansion microscopy (ExM) technique in two parasites, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Tritrichomonas foetus, which significantly improved the localization of distinct proteins closely associated with cytoskeleton by immunofluorescence microscopy. The ExM techniques have been used in various cell types, tissues, and other protist parasites. It requires the embedment of ...
