First insight into metal binding proteins from the de novo transcriptome of acanthocephalan parasite Dentitruncus truttae [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Acanthocephala are parasites increasingly used as bioindicators of environmental quality due to their ability to effectively accumulate metals. However, the mechanisms of metal homeostasis in them remain unclear as there has been only one genomic study ...

Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Public Awareness of Internal Helminthes in Commercial Fish of Lake Chamo, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Fish is a vital source of food, employment, trade, and economic well‐being for people. But, it is hindered by a variety of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and most commonly parasites. The impact and public health importance of parasitic helminthes in fish which cause devaluation, retarded growth, morbidity, and mortality have not been ...

Intestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Significance in Human and Domestic Animals in a Rural Setting in Nepal. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera. [PDF]

J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol
In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.
