Tennessen et al.'s study addresses longstanding knowledge gaps regarding the evolutionary drivers of a major Neotropical malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi. Through extensive whole-genome analysis, they revealed geographically structured An...

A new study by Lansink et al. identifies an expression-site-body-associated RNA nuclease that selectively attenuates expression-site-associated gene transcripts, showing that antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei is refined not only by ...

The persistence of tissue-dwelling parasites represents a profound challenge in infectious disease management, traditionally attributed to intrinsic biochemical resistance against anthelmintic agents. However, cross-disciplinary evidence su...
From biosynthesis to scavenging: evolutionary rewiring of PUFA and oxylipin biosynthesis in parasitic nematodes [0.03%]
从生物合成到清除：寄生线虫中PUFA和oxylipin生物合成的进化重构
Dongjuan Yuan,Hongyi Li,Muchun Wan et al.
Dongjuan Yuan et al.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and their oxygenated metabolites (oxylipins) are mediators in regulating membrane function, larval development, and host immune response. In this review, we present that free-living nematodes maintain a r...

Silu Deng et al.
Increasing evidence suggests that regulatory noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) modulate a series of epithelial responses following Cryptosporidium invasion. During infection, ncRNAs are involved in the activation of intracellular signaling pathways, ...
Time to rethink Blastocystis in faecal microbiota transplantation [0.03%]
粪便微生物移植中重新评估 Blastocystis 的时机
Anders Krifors,Torbjörn Larsson,Andreas Wångdahl et al.
Anders Krifors et al.
Blastocystis commonly colonises the human gut, but its presence has traditionally led to the exclusion of faecal microbiota transplantation donors. Emerging evidence links it to greater microbial diversity and favourable metabolic profiles,...
Coevolution stabilizes the honey bee-Varroa destructor-virus system on islands [0.03%]
共进化稳定了岛屿上的蜜蜂- Varroa destructor-病毒系统
Laura E Brettell,Clarissa P Ferreira,Ethel M Villalobos et al.
Laura E Brettell et al.
For 65 years, the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, along with the deformed wing virus (DWV) it vectors, has killed millions of Apis mellifera honey bee colonies globally. The coevolution of the 'bee-mite-virus' system in Hawaii over 17...
Managing the environmental impact of livestock endectocides through refugia-based control [0.03%]
基于避难所的控制方法管理家畜内寄生虫药的环境影响
Richard Wall,Eric Morgan,Sioned Timothy et al.
Richard Wall et al.
Refugia for dung-breeding invertebrates can be created by treating only the livestock at the greatest clinical need within a herd or flock with parasiticides, while also safeguarding against risks to production and animal welfare. Although ...
Molecular foundations and tissue-specific dynamics of the mosquito circadian clock [0.03%]
按蚊昼夜节律钟的分子基础及其组织特异性动力学规律
Julien Devilliers,Joshua B Benoit,Zhijian J Tu et al.
Julien Devilliers et al.
Circadian clocks coordinate daily rhythms, shaping mating, host-seeking, and pathogen transmission in mosquitoes. In this review article, we discuss the current understanding of the molecular clockwork in key mosquito species, including Aed...
Polygenic scores for genomic surveillance of insecticide resistance in malaria control [0.03%]
疟疾控制的杀虫剂抗性基因组监测多基因得分
Martin J Donnelly,Alice Kamau,Daniel McDermott et al.
Martin J Donnelly et al.
Recent increases in the global malaria disease burden are thought to be due, in part, to an increase in insecticide resistance, which reduces the efficacy of primary control methods, such as long-lasting insecticide nets and indoor residual...
