Lipid concentrations in human subjects during and after infection by Plasmodium falciparum were determined. The increase in the concentration of phospholipids and triglycerides during infection was statistically significant (p less than 0.01 for moderate infection and p less than 0.001 for severe infection) when compared with concentration after infection. The increases in these lipid levels were almost two-fold in moderate infection and three fold in severe infection. There was no significant change in the plasma cholesterol during and after infection.

Animal thermoregulation may have significant costs and compete directly or indirectly with other energetically demanding processes, such as immune function. Although the subterranean environment is characterized by thermally-stable conditions, small changes in ambient temperature could be critical in shaping immunity. However, little is known about the effects of ambient temperature, in naturally varying ranges, on immunity of wild species.

The emerging prevalence of antimicrobial resistance demands cutting-edge therapeutic agents to treat bacterial infections. We present a synthetic strategy to construct sequence-defined oligomers (SDOs) by using dithiocarbamate (DTC). The antibacterial activity of the synthesized library of SDOs was studied using a Gram-positive and a Gram-negative .
