Summary: Dormancy enables relapsing malaria parasites, such as Plasmodium vivax and cynomolgi, to survive unfavorable conditions.It is enabled by hypnozoites, parasites remaining quiescent inside hepatocytes Hoodies/Fleece before reactivating and establishing blood-stage infection.We integrate omics approaches to explore gene-regulatory mechanisms
The study of brood parasitism has traditionally been focused on the breeding period, but recent evidence suggests that it urgently needs a new spatio-temporal perspective to explore novel avenues on brood parasite-host co-evolutionary interactions.Many brood parasites are migrants, but their ecology outside their short breeding season is poorly kno
Abstract Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis.Leporids are primary sources of human infections in the northern hemisphere.Africa Coffee Grinders is classically considered free of tularemia, but recent data indicate that this dogma might be wrong.We assessed the presence of this disease in wild leporids in Algeria.B
Garcinol is a polyisoprenylated benzophenone derived from the Garcinia indica Fødder fruit that possess potential therapeutic effects such as inhibition of inflammation and tumor expansion.Here, we investigated whether garcinol induces TRAIL sensitization in renal carcinoma cells.Single treatment with garcinol or TRAIL did not effect on apoptosis.
