Life history of Monocystis parasites and genetic diversity of their hosts, the invasive Amynthas earthworms [PDF]
, 2016 Monocystis is a parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa that infects nearly 100% of earthworms; however, the parasites have low survivorship, low production of transmissible gametocysts, and seemingly lack schizogony.

A New Conditional Transcription Factor for Use in Toxoplasma Gondii
Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 5, May 2026.Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary A new conditional transcription factor (CTF) for Toxoplasma gondii reversibly regulates a reporter gene, achieving an outstanding signal‐to‐noise ratio. Gene expression is robust in the absence and nearly abolished in the presence of rapamycin, and the tool's modular design will facilitate application to varied genes ...

Assessment of Preservation and Extraction Methods for Environmental DNA in Sediments
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.We assessed how different preservation methods (freezing, room temperature, silica gel, Longmire buffer) affect eDNA metabarcoding results for bacterial, fungal, microeukaryotic, and metazoan communities in marine and freshwater sediments. Results demonstrate taxonomic‐ and habitat‐specific responses to preservation methods, providing evidence‐based ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.This study revealed Cryptosporidium infection rates of 11.1% in dogs and 10.4% in cats in human–pet environments in Yunnan, China. Molecular evidence documents one case of pet‐to‐human transmission involving an immunocompromised elderly owner, suggesting vulnerable individuals face higher infection risks despite minimal transmission to immunocompetent ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.Based on the present systematic review and meta‑analysis, the pooled prevalence of N. caninum in camelids was 10% (95% CI: 7%–12%) with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 93.75%, p < 0.0001). The highest rate was detected in Old World camelids, 14% (95% CI: 10%–19%), indicating that this group is more susceptible to N. caninum exposure.

Characterization of novel microneme adhesive repeats (MAR) in Eimeria tenella [PDF]
, 2017 In this study, we evaluated the binding capacity of Type I MAR domains from novel E. tenella MCPs. Variants of the previously described HxT motif were analysed showing that HxT and VxT variants bind, whereas HxS and YxE variants did not. One of these MCP

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Parasite–host interactions influence the success of wildlife reintroductions. The mountain bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) is a critically endangered antelope found only in Kenya's montane forests, with fewer than 100 remaining in the wild. It is, therefore, imperative to re‐establish a viable, healthy, and self‐sustaining population in its native
