Editor’s summary
This study examines the extent of changes in the genetic diversity of Sarcoptes scabiei over time. The use of 9 microsatellite markers on mite populations derived from sympatric wild species in Asturias (Spain) revealed temporal stability in genetic structure under the host-taxon law.

Editor’s summary
This study describes the ability of a Leishmania infantum deletion mutant, lacking both HSP70-II alleles (ΔHSP70-II), to provide protection against L. major in the BALB/c infection model. Furthermore, ΔHSP70-II could be a safe live vaccine as administration to SCID mice and hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) did not develop any sign of pathology. Image:Pre-inoculation of mice with ΔHSP70-II promastigotes prevented footpad lesion development after a challenge with virulent L. major.

Editor’s summary
The small body size of members of the Mantellidae frog family results in limited dispersal capabilities and low physiological tolerances causing smaller, more fragmented ranges which facilitates reproductive isolation and may favor speciation.
