Protozoan parasites cause some of the world's most important diseases. Genome sequencing information is rapidly being acquired and combined with new developments in functional genome analysis to transform our understanding of parasites, and to enable new approaches to combating the diseases they cause.

No-Biopsy Diagnosis of Coeliac Disease in Children Without Anti-Endomysial IgA Antibody Testing: Combining Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA and Anti-Deamidated Gliadin IgG Antibodies.
J Paediatr Child Health
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Clinical Nutrition, The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia.
Aim: To determine the utility of anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (tTG-IgA) and anti-deaminated gliadin peptide IgG antibodies (DGP-IgG) in detecting coeliac disease (CD) and whether DGP-IgG can replace anti-endomysial IgA antibody in the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition no-biopsy approach in diagnosing CD.
Methods: Children aged < 19 years who had paired tTG-IgA and DGP-IgG performed and had a gastroscopy with biopsies between 1 March 2016 and 31 October 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Of 1206 patients who fulfilled the study criteria, 298 (24.
Trends in insecticide resistance in natural populations of Culex quinquefasciatus and its impact on mosquito fitness in Dschang, West Cameroon.
Parasitol Res

Plant Production Department, College of Food and Agricultural Sciences, King Saud University, P.O. Box. 2460, 11451, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Specific information about the dispersion of Culex quinquefasciatus from Dschang in western Cameroon is scarce, and evidence-based interventions are needed. Common use of larvicides and adulticides conduct to the development of vectors resistance which can lead to deep biological changes, including fitness costs. We assessed the profile of insecticide resistance in field populations of Cx.

Auckland Bioengineering Institute, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
This study investigated how contraction frequency impacts the mechano-energetics of cardiac muscle performing mechanical work. Left-ventricular trabeculae were isolated from rat hearts and mounted in our work-loop calorimeter to assess their function at physiological temperature (37°C) across three stimulation frequencies, 2 Hz, 3.5 Hz and 5 Hz, in a randomised sequence.

A healthy diet is a protective factor against a host of negative health outcomes. To maintain such a diet necessitates the consumption of at least 240 g of vegetables per day. However, most of the population fails to meet this threshold.
