Frequency variation and dose modification of benznidazole administration for the treatment of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in mice, dogs and non-human primates

This study evaluates modified benznidazole dosing schedules in mice, dogs, and non-human primates to improve parasitological cure rates for Trypanosoma cruzi infection.

Kestrels of the same colony do not overwinter together

This study tracks lesser kestrels during non-breeding season to determine if individuals from the same colony aggregate, finding no significant spatial overlap between them.

Itinerant lifestyle and congregation of lesser kestrels in West Africa

This study tracks lesser kestrels in West Africa to understand their non-breeding movements, finding they congregate in wetland areas during the dry season.

Prophylactic low-dose, bi-weekly benznidazole treatment fails to prevent Trypanosoma cruzi infection in dogs under intense transmission pressure

This study tests low-dose, bi-weekly benznidazole prophylaxis in dogs under high T. cruzi transmission pressure but finds no reduction in new infections.

Abdominal movements in insect flight reshape the role of non-aerodynamic structures for flight maneuverability I: Model predictive control for flower tracking

This study shows that abdominal movements in hawkmoths contribute to flight maneuverability by using model predictive control and experimental tests.

Homozygous STAT2 gain-of-function mutation by loss of USP18 activity in a patient with type I interferonopathy

The paper identifies a homozygous STAT2 mutation causing type I interferonopathy by disrupting USP18 interaction and signal termination.

IRF4 haploinsufficiency in a family with Whipples disease

This study identifies IRF4 haploinsufficiency as the genetic cause of Whipples disease in a family, showing age-dependent incomplete penetrance and chronic Tw carriage preceding disease onset.
