Changes in lipid abundance are associated with disease progression and treatment response in chronic <em>Trypanosoma cruzi</em> infection
Background: Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a zoonosis that affects more than seven million people. Current limitations on the diagnosis of the disease hinder the prognosis of patients and the ...
Pseudomonas guineae sp.nov, a novel psychrotolerant bacterium from an Antarctic environment
Two Gram-negative, cold-adapted, aerobic bacteria, designated strains M8T and M6, were isolated from soil collected from the South Shetland Islands. The organisms were rod-shaped, catalase- and oxidase-positive and motile ...
Seroepidemiological study of <em>Leishmania infantum</em>, <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em>and <em>Dirofilaria immitis</em> in pet ferrets (<em>Mustela putorius furo</em>) in Spain
Ferrets are susceptible to infections with <em>Leishmania infantum</em>, <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em>, and <em>Dirofilaria immitis</em>; however,</p><p>epidemiological data on these infections are limited in Europe. A total ...
Higher-order organisation of extremely amplified, potentially functional and massively methylated 5S rDNA in European pikes (Esox sp.)
Background Pikes represent an important genus (Esox) harbouring a pre-duplication karyotype (2n = 2x = 50) of economically important salmonid pseudopolyploids. Here, we have characterized the 5S ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) ...

Evolutionary implications of heterochromatin and rDNA in chromosome number and genome size changes during dysploidy: a case study in Reichardia genus
In this study we showed that constitutive heterochromatin, GC-rich DNA and rDNA are implicated in chromosomal rearrangements during the basic chromosome number changing (dysploidy) in Reichardia genus. This small Mediterranean ...
Topical Amphotericin B Semisolid Dosage Form for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: Physicochemical Characterization, Ex Vivo Skin Permeation and Biological Activity
Amphotericin B (AmB) is a potent antifungal successfully used intravenously to treat visceral leishmaniasis but depending on the Leishmania infecting species, it is not always recommended against cutaneous leishmaniasis ...
Micellization and antimicrobial properties of surface active ionic liquids containing cleavable carbonate linkages
Imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) containing cleavable carbonate linkages, 1-alkyloxycarbonyloxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium chlorides with alkyl chains of 10, 12, and 14 carbon atoms, were synthesized, and their self-assembly ...
