Naeglerivirus infection was lethal to all Naegleria species tested, including the human pathogen N. fowleri. This study expands our experimental framework for investigating giant viruses and may help to better understand the basic biology of the human pathogen N. fowleri.

Here, we argue why this parasitic infection should be included in the new estimates of the health burden of foodborne diseases. Growing evidence indicates that foodborne transmission of T. cruzi occurs as commonly as vector-borne infection. Moreover, foodborne infection results in considerably more severe disease than vector-borne infection, with higher mortality and greater symptom severity, particular in the acute phase.

The PCR assay developed here differentiates Leishmania infantum and Crithidia sp. LVH60A parasites with the ability to detect and estimate parasite load in samples from different hosts involved in infection (human, animal, and experimental) and can be used for epidemiological studies, parasite load monitoring, and therapeutic follow-up. Samples analysed in this study included human bone marrow and peripheral blood, as well as for the spleen and liver samples of dogs and hamsters
