Pharmacological inhibition of key metabolic pathways attenuates Leishmania spp infection in macrophages. by Elaine Carvalho de Oliveira, Rafael Tibúrcio, Gabriela Duarte, Amanda Lago, Léon de Melo, Sara Nunes, Gustavo Gastão Davanzo, Ana Júlia Martins, Bruno Vinagre Ribeiro, Deborah Mothé, Juliana B P Menezes, Patrícia Veras, Natalia Tavares, Pedro M Moraes-Vieira, Cláudia Ida Brodskyn

“…To investigate the metabolic pathways required for Leishmania amastigotes to persist in BMDMs, we pre-treated cells with small molecule drugs that target major metabolic pathways, revealing that perturbations in several metabolic processes affected parasite survival in a strain-independent manner. Treatments with inhibitors of the oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis substantially reduced parasite loads. …”

Evaluation of Telenomus remus (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) as a biocontrol agent of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) based on two-sex life table and functional response... by Zhen Shen, Li-Hui Liu, Lian-Sheng Zang, Tie-Jun Deng, Zhen-Bao Luo, Jun-Yi Gao, Liang-De Tang

“…The net killing rate of T. remus on S. litura was 101.49 eggs/female, indicating the high capacity of T. remus to parasitize S. litura eggs. Moreover, the higher the egg density, the higher the parasitism rate by female T. remus, although there was a trend of parasitism stabilization at an egg density of 100, indicating a type II functional response curve for this parasitoid. …”
