“…The nearest neighbors of approximately >90% of bacteria belonged to a nonglacial environment, such as oil-contaminated soil, rocks, and black sand, instead of glacial niches. This study provides insights into the ecological traits, stress responses, and temporary survival of culturable heterotrophic bacteria in a newly exposed moraine with variable environmental conditions and the relationship of these communities with the non-glacial environment. …”

“…Similar control of parasite burden was also observed against a sand fly mediated L. donovani challenge. Importantly, immunization with LmexCen(−/−) down-regulated the disease promoting cytokines IL-10 and IL-4 and increased pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-γ resulting in higher IFN-γ/IL-10 and IFN-γ/IL4 ratios compared to non-immunized animals. …”

However, rTiSP14.6 was recognized by sera from chickens exposed to four other triatomine species, Triatoma brasiliensis, T. sordida, Rhodnius prolixus, and Panstrongylus megistus and by sera of chickens from an endemic area of T. infestans and Chagas disease in Bolivia. …”
