	2.	Research *Characterization of the biology and infectivity of Leishmania infantum* viscerotropic and dermotropic strains isolated from HIV+ and HIV- patients in the murine model of visceral leishmaniasis** Joana Cunha, Eugenia Carrillo, Carmen Sánchez, Israel Cruz, Javier Moreno, Anabela Cordeiro-da-Silva Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:122 (26 April 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Biological parameters of four Leishmania infantum strains were evaluated using infectivity in mouse model as read-out.

	3.	Research *Genetic diversity and signatures of selection of drug resistance in Plasmodium* populations from both human and mosquito hosts in continental Equatorial Guinea** Cristina Mendes, Patrícia Salgueiro, Vicenta Gonzalez, Pedro Berzosa, Agustin Benito, Virgílio E do Rosário, Bruno de Sousa, Jorge Cano, Ana Paula Arez Malaria Journal 2013, 12:114 (27 March 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Describes genetic relationships among malaria parasites isolated from both human and mosquito populations.
