Characterization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonization of macrophages under distinct polarization states and nutrients environment

This study investigates how Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonizes macrophages under different polarization states and nutrient conditions, finding that invasion occurs across all activation states with lower efficiency in M1-like macrophages.

Multiple blood feeding in mosquitoes shortens the Plasmodium falciparum incubation period and increases malaria transmission potential

This study shows that additional blood feeding in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes accelerates Plasmodium falciparum development, shortens the extrinsic incubation period, and increases malaria transmission potential.
