Species identification and phylogenetic analysis of Leishmania isolated from patients, vectors and hares in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, The People's Republic of China (2021)
Journal Article

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been declared as one of the six major tropical diseases by the World Health Organization. This disease has been successfully controlled in China, except for some areas in the western region, such as the Xinjiang Autono...

A new species of mammalian trypanosome, Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) bubalisi sp. nov., found in the freshwater leech Hirudinaria manillensis (2021)
Journal Article
Su, B., Wang, J., Yang, T., Hide, G., Lai, D., & Lun, Z. (2021). A new species of mammalian trypanosome, Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) bubalisi sp. nov., found in the freshwater leech Hirudinaria manillensis. International Journal for Parasitology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2021.10.009

Leeches have long been considered potential vectors for the aquatic lineage of trypanosomes, while bloodsucking insects are generally considered as the vectors for the terrestrial lineage of trypanosomes. The freshwater leech, Hirudinaria manillensis...

Innate resistance to Leishmania amazonensis Infection in rat is dependent on NOS2 (2021)
Journal Article

Leishmania infection causes diverse clinical manifestations in humans. The disease outcome is complicated by the combination of many host and parasite factors. Inbred mouse strains vary in resistance to Leishmania major but are highly susceptible to... Read More about Innate resistance to Leishmania amazonensis Infection in rat is dependent on NOS2.

High resistance to Toxoplasma gondii infection in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) knockout rats (2021)
Journal Article

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important immune molecule which acts against extra- and intracellular pathogens in most hosts. However, after knockout of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS-/-) in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, these iNOS-/- rats were found to...

Identification of an orally active carbazole aminoalcohol derivative with broad-spectrum anti-animal trypanosomiasis activity (2021)
Journal Article

Animal trypanosomiasis, caused by the members of subgenus Trypanozoon (Trypanosoma brucei brucei, T. evansi and T. equiperdum), has reduced animal productivity leading to significant negative economic impacts in endemic regions. Due to limited drug d... Read More about Identification of an orally active carbazole aminoalcohol derivative with broad-spectrum anti-animal trypanosomiasis activity.

Infection with Trypanosoma lewisi or Trypanosoma musculi may promote the spread of Toxoplasma gondii (2021)
Journal Article
Gao, J., Yi, S., Geng, G., Xu, Z., Hide, G., Lun, Z., & Lai, D. (2021). Infection with Trypanosoma lewisi or Trypanosoma musculi may promote the spread of Toxoplasma gondii. Parasitology, 148(6), 703-711. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182021000196

Toxoplasma gondii can infect almost all warm-blooded vertebrates with pathogensis
being largely influenced by the host immune status. As important epidemiological
hosts, rodents are globally distributed and are also commonly found infected with
ha... Read More about Infection with Trypanosoma lewisi or Trypanosoma musculi may promote the spread of Toxoplasma gondii.
