A Brief View of the Surface Membrane Proteins from Trypanosoma cruzi by Ángel de la Cruz Pech-Canul, Victor Monteón, Rosa-Lidia Solís-Oviedo

“…T. cruzi expresses a wide variety of proteins on its surface membrane which has an important role in the biology of these parasites. Surface molecules of the parasites are the result of the environment to which the parasites are exposed during their life cycle. …”

An image-based high-content screening assay for compounds targeting intracellular Leishmania donovani amastigotes in human macrophages. by Jair L Siqueira-Neto, Seunghyun Moon, Jiyeon Jang, Gyongseon Yang, Changbok Lee, Hong Kee Moon, Eric Chatelain, Auguste Genovesio, Jonathan Cechetto, Lucio H Freitas-Junior

“…The reading method was based on DNA staining and required the development of a customized algorithm to analyze the images, which enabled the use of non-modified parasites. The automated analysis generated parameters used to quantify compound activity, including infection ratio as well as the number of intracellular amastigote parasites and yielded cytotoxicity information based on the number of host cells. …”

The prevalence and immune response to coinfection by avian haemosporidians in wild Eurasian blackbirds Turdus merula by Ellie Lebeau, Jenny C. Dunn

“…Host immune responses to coinfection can contribute to infection costs but are often harder to predict than those associated with single infection, due to the influence of within-host parasite–parasite interactions on infection virulence. …”

A deterministic model of schistosomiasis with spatial structure by Fabio Augusto Milner, Ruijun Zhao

“…In this paper, the authors establish a model with spatial structurethat characterizes the density change of parasites following the flush-away oflarvae. It is shown that the reproductive number, which is an indicator ofprevalence of parasitism, is a decreasing function of the river current velocity.Moreover, numerical simulations suggest that the mean parasite load is lowwhen the velocity of river current flow is sufficiently high.…”
