Development of Low-Serum Culture Media for the in Vitro Cultivation of < em > Theileria annulata < /em > S15 Cell Line
CONCLUSION: The significant reduction in the required amount of serum and the remarkable cell growth achieved by using defined serum replacements for the production of cell culture media is a significant step towards the preparation of a proper cell culture medium for the production of bovine Theileriosis vaccine.PMID:38654949 | PMC:PMC11033534 | DOI:10.18502/ijpa.v19i1.15206 (Source: Iranian Journal of Parasitology)

Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) Clinical Presentation, Laboratory Findings, Treatment Options and Outcome
CONCLUSION: VL should be included in the differential diagnosis of any child who presents with fever, splenomegaly, and anemia. Concerning the treatment strategy in this study, liposomal amphotericin B had more efficiency and shorter hospitalization duration.PMID:38654944 | PMC:PMC11033536 | DOI:10.18502/ijpa.v19i1.15190 (Source: Iranian Journal of Parasitology)

Malaria in a vulnerable population living in quilombo remnant communities in the Brazilian Amazon: a cross-sectional study from 2005-2020
Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo. 2024 Apr 19;66:e25. doi: 10.1590/S1678-9946202466025. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTQuilombo remnant communities are areas officially recognized by the Brazilian government as historical communities founded by formerly enslaved individuals. These communities are mostly located in the endemic areas of malaria in the Brazilian Amazon. We retrospectively described the prevalence of malaria among individuals living in 32 recognized quilombo remnant communities in the Baiao and Oriximina municipalities located in the Para State. The number of malaria cases and the Annual Parasitic Incidence (API) recorde...

Sublethal acetamiprid affects reproduction, development and disrupts gene expression in Binodoxys communis
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-33415-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAt present, understanding of neonicotinoid toxicity in arthropods remains limited. We here evaluated the lethal and sublethal effects of acetamiprid in F0 and F1 generations of Binodoxys communis using a range of sublethal concentrations. The 10% lethal concentration (LC10) and half lethal concentration (LC25) of ACE had negative effects on the B. communis survival rate, adult longevity, parasitism rate, and emergence rate, and significantly prolonged the duration of the developmental cycle. ACE also had intergenerationa...
