Behavior of Angiostrongylus costaricensis in planorbids [PDF]
Some terrestrial mollusks are natural hosts of Angiostrongylus costaricensis. In the laboratory, this nematode can be maintained in certain planorbids, which are aquatic mollusks and intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni. Mollusks can be infected with Angiostrongylus costaricensis by ingestion of or active penetration by the first-stage larvae.

Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Red Pandas From Community Forests of Eastern Nepal
Wild red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) from community forests of eastern Nepal showed a high intestinal parasite burden, with 66.7% of faecal samples testing positive. Helminthic infections (75%) were more prevalent than protozoan infections (50%), and mixed gastrointestinal infections occurred in 45.8% of individuals.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.
