Coproparasitological Survey of Stranded Cetaceans on Portugal’s Mainland Coastline

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Parasitism affects nearly half of all animal species and strongly influences ecosystem dynamics. Despite their sentinel value, parasitic infections in cetaceans remain understudied.

Harnessing the Helminth Secretome for Therapeutic Immunomodulators

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Helminths are the largest and most complex pathogens to invade and live within the human body. Since they are not able to outpace the immune system by rapid antigen variation or faster cell division or retreat into protective niches not accessible to immune effector mechanisms, their long‐term survival depends on influencing and regulating the immune ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the rodent intra-arterial nematodes Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus costaricensis [PDF]

, 2018
The two rodent intra-arterial nematodes, Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus costaricensis, can cause human ill-health. The present study aimed to characterize and compare the mitochondrial (mt) genomes of these two species, and clarify their

Occurrence and Molecular Identification of Anisakis Dujardin, 1845 from Marine Fish in Southern Makassar Strait, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2014
Anisakis spp. (Nematoda: Anisakidae) parasitize a wide range of marine animals, mammals serving as the definitive\ud host and different fish species as intermediate or paratenic hosts.

Parasitic Fauna of Free‐Living Chelonoidis denticulatus From the Rio Acre Ecological Station and the Municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul, Western Amazon, Brazil

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Tortoises, such as Chelonoidis denticulatus, are described as hosts of many parasites, such as helminths and ticks of the genus Amblyomma, which are important vectors of rickettsial infection in Brazil. Additionally, the high consumption of meat from these animals in Acre results in a high risk of zoonotic outbreaks due to contact with the hosts and ...

Prevalence, intensity, longevity, and persistence of Anisakis sp. larvae and Lacistorhynchus tenuis metacestodes in San Francisco striped bass [PDF]

, 1985
Thirteen hundred and seventy-three striped bass, Marone saxatilis, were collected from the San Francisco Bay-Delta area to correlate host diet with parasitic infections and to determine the prevalence, intensity, longevity, and persistence of larval ...

More parasitic myositis cases in humans in Australia, and the definition of genetic markers for the causative agents as a basis for molecular diagnosis [PDF]

, 2016
Since 1998, there have been six reported human cases of myositis in Australia, attributable to infection with the nematode Haycocknema perplexum. However, an unequivocal diagnosis of H.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.
