Implementation and Outcomes of an Empiric Ivermectin Strongyloides Treatment Protocol for Patients Receiving High-Dose Corticosteroids for Severe COVID-19
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Jul 17;109(3):650-655. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0121. Print 2023 Sep 6.ABSTRACTStrongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic roundworm that is present worldwide and can cause lifelong, often asymptomatic, infection. Immunosuppression, particularly by corticosteroids, is a risk factor for hyperinfection syndrome and disseminated strongyloidiasis-severe disease states that can lead to septic shock and death. Our institution implemented a strongyloidiasis screening and empiric ivermectin treatment protocol for inpatients receiving high-dose corticosteroids for severe COVID-19. Among 487 COVID-19 admissions tre...

Trypanosomes as a magnifying glass for cell and molecular biology
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Sep 5:S1471-4922(23)00195-2. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.08.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei, has developed into a flexible and robust experimental model for molecular and cellular parasitology, allowing us to better combat these and related parasites that cause worldwide suffering. Diminishing case numbers, due to efficient public health efforts, and recent development of new drug treatments have reduced the need for continued study of T. brucei in a disease context. However, we argue that this pathogen has been instrumental in revolutionary discoveries that ...

Recent advances in fluorescence-based chemosensing of organoarsenic feed additives using luminescence MOFs, COFs, HOFs, and QDs
Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Sep 7. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03125j. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOrganoarsenics are low-toxicity compounds that are used widely as feed additives to promote livestock growth, enhance meat pigmentation, and fight against intestinal parasites. The organoarsenic compounds are commonly found in poultry waste and the degradation of organoarsenic produces the toxic carcinogen inorganic arsenic such as As(V) and As(III), which results in severe arsenic pollution of soil and groundwater. As a consequence, there exists a high necessity to develop suitable sensing methods for the trace detection and quantificat...

Disgusted snails, oxytocin, and the avoidance of infection threat
Horm Behav. 2023 Sep 5;155:105424. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2023.105424. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDisgust is considered to be a fundamental affective state associated with triggering the behavioral avoidance of infection and parasite/pathogen threat. In humans, and other vertebrates, disgust affects how individuals interact with, and respond to, parasites, pathogens and potentially infected conspecifics and their sensory cues. Here we show that the land snail, Cepaea nemoralis, displays a similar "disgust-like" state eliciting behavioral avoidance responses to the mucus associated cues of infected and potentially infected...

Seroprevalence and associated risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii in water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in Egypt
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Sep 2;101:102058. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102058. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTToxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii and affecting all warm-blooded animals. The available data about the epidemiological situation of T. gondii in water buffaloes in Egypt are scarce. Thus, a cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii in water buffaloes in three Egyptian governorates and to evaluate the associated risk factors for the infection. A total of 430 sera samples were examined using commercial Indirect ELISA Multi-species kit. ...

Uncovering the effects of Giardia duodenalis on the balance of DNA viruses and bacteria in children's gut microbiota
Acta Trop. 2023 Sep 4:107018. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2023.107018. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe neglected parasitosis giardiasis is one of the most common intestinal infections worldwide, affecting mainly infants and young children. Giardia duodenalis may disturb the local microbiome, leading to intestinal ecosystem disorders, and altering different processes in the host, such as the immune response. Nevertheless, the alterations promoted by G. duodenalis on the human gut microbiome have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we characterized the gut microbiota of G. duodenalis-infected children and determine the ...
