Development of an automated artificial intelligence-based system for urogenital schistosomiasis diagnosis using digital image analysis techniques and a robotized microscope

Potentially zoonotic pathogens have been previously detected in bat-associated ticks, but their role in disease transmission and their frequency of feeding on non-bat hosts is poorly known. We used molecular blood meal analysis to reveal feeding patterns of the bat-associated tick species Ixodes ariadnae, I. simplex, and...

Plasmodium vivax malaria causes significant public health problems in endemic regions. Considering the rapid spread of drug-resistant parasite strains and the development of hypnozoites in the liver with potential for relapse, development of a safe and effective vaccine for preventing, controlling, and eliminating...

Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is caused by intestinal parasites that require an obligate development period in the soil, predominantly roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworm (Trichuris trichiura), and hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator...
