The secondary forest was, by far, the most productive site with 83.5 % of all captures, followed by crop fields (10.68 %) and primary forest (5.82 %). We found that antibody prevalence for C. fecundus was positively correlated to body mass (weight) and size (total length). Another important result of our work is that we report presence of hantavirus antibodies in E. legatus, which represents the first record for this species.

Considering the problems in sampling and laboratory diagnosis of leishmaniasis, new molecular markers such as circular RNAs (circRNAs) are needed. circRNAs, a novel class of RNAs, have been one of the most promising targets for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. Although the therapeutic and diagnostic role of circRNAs in many diseases and some parasitic diseases are known, not much research has been done in the field of leishmaniasis. We determined the gene expressions of circRNAs in human leukemia monocytic (THP-1) cells after infection with Leishmania. For this, the human cell line THP-1 was differentiated into macrophages by Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment. Differentiated THP-1 cells were infected with L. infantum and L. tropica promastigotes. After 24 hours, expression levels of circRNAs were determined by RT-qPCR technique. Also, the microRNAs associated with differentially expressed circRNAs were investigated. Then, the molecular pathways associated with expressed circRNAs were obtained by GO and Reactome. The results showed that five circRNAs were differentially expressed in THP1 macrophages infected with L. infantum and L. tropica. These findings suggest that some circRNAs may be potential biomarkers for diagnosis in Leishmania-infected patients. The enrichment analysis revealed that differentially expressed circRNAs are mainly involved in the regulation of protein stability, RNA catabolic process, and P53/PTK6 signaling mechanism. This is the first study to report an overview of Leishmania-induced circRNAs, which can be potential biomarker candidate for diagnosis especially at species level. Notably, expression of some circRNAs in supernatant of Leishmania infected macrophages suggests that these genes are available in body fluids, therefore, can easily be accessed from the patient without invasive methods especially during treatment monitoring.</p>","PeriodicalId":7240,"journal":{"name":"Acta tropica","volume":" ","pages":"107509"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142871054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 476 PSAC aged 2-5 years across 6 islands in Lake Victoria, Homa Bay County, Kenya. Kato-Katz and urine filtration techniques diagnosed Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium infections respectively.

The overall prevalence of S. mansoni was 26.0 %, varying considerably between islands; Ringiti had the highest prevalence (62.1 %), while Sukru had the lowest (7.7 %). No S. haematobium infections were diagnosed. Light infections were most common (15.4 %), followed by moderate (8.5 %) and heavy infections (2.2 %).

Through theoretical analysis, we derive sufficient conditions for the extinction of tick populations and the eradication of tick-borne diseases, as well as the stochastic persistence conditions of the system. In numerical simulations, we find that the periodic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck temperature equation can effectively fit the actual temperature data in low, medium, and high latitude regions of China. In risk assessment, we find that at the spatial perspective, low-latitude areas have a higher risk of tick-borne diseases, requiring enhanced control measures; from a temporal perspective, compared to the past, the current stage presents a greater risk of tick-borne diseases when preventive measures are not implemented. Additionally, we observe that larger noise of environment for tick populations favors the extinction of tick populations, while smaller temperature fluctuations, noise on infected hosts and ticks, as well as higher temperature regression rate, are more likely to lead to the extinction of tick-borne diseases.
