Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is fatal if untreated, and there are no vaccines for this disease

Our data provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underpinning the association of HLA-DRB1 alleles with risk versus protection in visceral leishmaniasis in humans

We characterised the nasopharyngeal microbiome of these children in comparison to children with rAOM to identify potentially protective bacteria.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) after group A streptococcus (GAS) infections is heritable and prevalent in Indigenous populations. Molecular mimicry between human and GAS proteins triggers proinflammatory cardiac valve-reactive T cells.

Our results show perturbation of host mitochondrial function following T. gondii infection that likely impacts on pathogenesis of disease.

disease-deconvolution" identified associations between the parasite-brain interactions and epilepsy, movement disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer.

Here we show that transfected macrophages stably expressing wild-type Nramp1 (Nramp1+) control the net replication of B. thailandensis, but not B. pseudomallei.

These results contribute to our understanding of immunopathology associated with visceral leishmaniasis and response to sodium stibogluconate treatment

We found no increased risk of poor development among boys with hypospadias or undescended testis

Here, we confirm four intercontinental species of avian trypanosomes in native Australian birds, and identify a new avian Trypanosoma.
