Species Diversity and Geographical Distribution of Poultry Ascaridids: A Scoping Review [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Poultry nematodes, particularly Ascaridid species, significantly affect avian health and productivity and are widely distributed globally. Yet despite over 80% of poultry in developing countries being raised under extensive rearing systems, knowledge on infection risks posed by different poultry nematodes remains limited.

Zoonotic Parasites in Marmosets (Callithrix Spp.) From Southern Brazil: Insights From a One Health Perspective [PDF]
Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 54, Issue 5, October 2025.ABSTRACT Background Currently, six species of Callithrix are frequently observed in anthropized and degraded environments in different regions of Brazil. This occupation favors interactions with humans and increases the risk of infection by parasites with zoonotic potential.

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiomes in Parasitic Roundworms Reveals Phylogeny‐Associated Community Structure and Functional Adaptation [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Roundworm nematodes are globally distributed zoonotic parasites that inhabit the intestinal tract of various mammals. Although these parasites reside in the host’s guts, their own intestinal ecosystems remain poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that helminths may harbor distinct gut microbiomes that contribute to their physiology and host ...
