Anti-microbial peptides play a vital role in the defense mechanisms of various organisms performing functions that range from elimination microorganisms, through diverse mechanisms, to modulation immune response, providing protection host. Among these peptides, cathelicidins, well-studied family anti-microbial are found animal species, including reptiles. Due rise resistance, compounds have been suggested as potential candidates for developing new drugs. In this study, we identified and...
Babesiosis is a growing concern due to the increased prevalence of this infectious disease caused by Babesia protozoan parasites, affecting various animals and humans. With rising worries over medication side effects emerging drug resistance, there notable shift towards researching babesiacidal agents. Antimicrobial peptides, specifically cathelicidins known for their broad-spectrum activity immunomodulatory functions, have emerged as potential candidates. Aquiluscidin, cathelicidin from...
