The knowns and unknowns of helminth-host miRNA cross-kingdom communication
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Dec 26:S1471-4922(23)00294-5. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.12.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that oversee gene modulation. They are integral to cellular functions and can migrate between species, leading to cross-kingdom gene suppression. Recent breakthroughs in helminth genome studies have sparked curiosity about helminth RNA regulators and their ability to regulate genes across species. Growing data indicate that helminth miRNAs have a significant impact on the host's immune system. Specific miRNAs from helminth parasites can merge with the host's miRNA sys...

Anopheles stephensi ecology and control in Africa

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe encroachment and rapid spread of Anopheles stephensi across Africa presents a significant challenge to malaria control and elimination efforts. Understanding the ecology and behavior of An. stephensi will critically inform control measures and provide prerequisite knowledge for exploring new larval and adult control tools to contain its spread.PMID:38142196 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.011 (Source: Trends in Parasitology)

Time to drop the term 'simian malaria parasites'
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Dec 20:S1471-4922(23)00290-8. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe term 'simian malaria parasites' has crept into the modern malaria literature as a synonym for 'non-human primate malaria parasites', most commonly referring to species of Plasmodium infective to Old World monkeys. As humans are also simians, we contend that this usage is erroneous, and should not be used.PMID:38129281 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.010 (Source: Trends in Parasitology)
