To determine the role of rats as potential reservoirs of zoonotic parasites, we examined rats
trapped in urban sewers of Valencia, Spain, in 2021. Morphologic and molecular …

In vertebrates, cannabinoids modulate neuroimmune interactions through two cannabinoid
receptors (CNRs) conservatively expressed in the brain (CNR1, syn. CB1) and in the …

The rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, is an emerging parasite that can cause
eosinophilic meningitis in humans. Over the past 60 years, the worm has greatly expanded its …

Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease, is now considered a worldwide health concern
as a result of migratory movements from Central and South America to other regions that …

We detected Leishmania infantum in 98 Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) trapped in parks
and sewers of Barcelona, Spain. The 84 rats from the sewers showed a prevalence of 33.3% …

During early ontogeny, microbiome affects development of the gastrointestinal tract, immunity,
and survival in vertebrates. Bird eggs are thought to be (1) initially sterile (sterile egg …

Species-specific neural inflammation can be induced by profound immune signalling from
periphery to brain. Recent advances in transcriptomics offer cost-effective approaches to study …

American trypanosomiasis, or Chagas disease, is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma
cruzi and is characterized by the presence of cardiac or gastrointestinal symptoms in …

We describe the characterization, purification, expression, and location of a 52-kDa protein
secreted during interaction between the metacyclic form of Trypanosoma cruzi and its target …

Driven by co‐evolution with pathogens, host immunity continuously adapts to optimize defence
against pathogens within a given environment. Recent advances in genetics, genomics …
