Exploring Drug Targets in Isoprenoid Biosynthetic Pathway for Plasmodium falciparum by Tabish Qidwai, Farrukh Jamal, Mohd Y. Khan, Bechan Sharma

“…Emergence of rapid drug resistance to existing antimalarial drugs in Plasmodium falciparum has created the need for prediction of novel targets as well as leads derived from original molecules with improved activity against a validated drug target. The malaria parasite has a plant plastid-like apicoplast. To overcome the problem of falciparum malaria, the metabolic pathways in parasite apicoplast have been used as antimalarial drug targets. …”

Innate Immune Responses Associated with Resistance against Haemonchus contortus in Morada Nova Sheep by João Henrique Barbosa Toscano, Cintia Hiromi Okino, Isabella Barbosa dos Santos, Luciana Aparecida Giraldelo, Marei Borsch von Haehling, Sérgio Novita Esteves, Ana Carolina de Souza Chagas

“…The exacerbated proinflammatory response observed in susceptible animals, at both local and systemic levels, may be a consequence of high H. contortus parasitism. This hypothesis is corroborated by the higher blood levels of TNFα before the onset of infection, which probably remained elevated from the previous parasitic challenges. …”

Inhibition of Src signaling induces autophagic killing of Toxoplasma gondii via PTEN-mediated deactivation of Akt. by Alyssa Hubal, Anusha Vendhoti, Charles N Shaffer, Sarah Vos, Yalitza Lopez Corcino, Carlos S Subauste

“…We report T. gondii activates Src to promote parasite survival even in cells that lack EGFR. Blockade of Src triggered LC3 and LAMP-1 recruitment around the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and parasite killing dependent on the autophagy protein, ULK1, and lysosomal enzymes. …”
