Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infections and Associated Factors Among Rural Ghanaian School Children: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Tokuroano, Krachi East Municipality

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Over 63% of schoolchildren in rural Ghana's Tokuroano area had intestinal parasitic infections, mainly Ascaris, Hookworm, and Giardia. Poor sanitation, unsafe water, and poor hygiene were key risks. Protective factors included home‐cooked meals and health education. Integrated deworming, sanitation, and education programs are urgently needed to address

Declining Trends in Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections Among Nepalese School Children: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (2004–2022)

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis of 25 studies (17,628 children) shows a substantial decline in gastrointestinal parasitic infections in Nepal from 43.4% to 24.2% between 2004 and 2022. Helminths (20.0%) remained more common than protozoa (9.9%), with slightly higher prevalence in urban (29.0%) than rural areas (27.9%). ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal parasitic
