Assessing the impact of Ascariasis and Trichuriasis on weight gain using a porcine model.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
BackgroundInfections with Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura remain significant contributors to the global burden of neglected tropical diseases. Infection may in particular affect child development as they are more likely to be infected with T.

Modulation of succinyl‐CoA:3‐ketoacid CoA transferase activity by a single amino acid residue in acetate:succinate CoA transferase from Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that remain a global health challenge due to the limited efficacy, safety, and durability of current treatments. Acetate: succinate CoA transferase (ASCT), together with succinyl‐CoA synthase (SCS), forms the ASCT/SCS cycle that fuels ATP production and generates acetate, a central metabolic intermediate

Eosinophil Recruitment and Activity in CNS Lesions of MOG Antibody–Associated Myelitis Following Influenza Vaccination: A Case Report

Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The appearance of eosinophils in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is considered atypical in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody–associated disease (MOGAD). In this article, we report the case of a 24‐year‐old male who received an influenza vaccine and subsequently presented with sensory disturbances in his limbs and trunk ...

Copromicroscopic Diagnosis and Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Humans and Nonhuman Primates That Share an Ecosystem in the State of Veracruz, Mexico

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The expansion of human populations and their associated land use practices are contributing to the fragmentation of forest ecosystems, thereby impacting the habitats of wildlife, including nonhuman primates (NHPs). This increased proximity between humans and NHP, which share an ecosystem, creates opportunities for the transmission of gastrointestinal ...

Assessment of Environmental Contamination With Soil‐Transmitted Helminth Eggs From Human and Animal Faeces in Southern Côte d′Ivoire: A Rapid Approach for Identifying High‐Risk Communities

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a major public health problem in low‐ and middle‐income regions, including the humid and lagoon areas in Côte d′Ivoire, where sanitation facilities are limited at the community level. Few studies have investigated the relationship between environmental (soil and water) contamination by STH eggs and ...

Neuropeptides in the nematodeAscaris suum

Parasitology, 1991
Most of the successful anti-nematode drugs currently available affect the nematode locomotory system. Their success is due to their interactions with molecules associated with the main neuro-transmitters of the motor nervous system, acetylcholine and GABA.

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiomes in Parasitic Roundworms Reveals Phylogeny‐Associated Community Structure and Functional Adaptation

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 ...

Seroprevalence and Risk Factors of Toxocara spp. in Dogs, Cats, and Their Owners in the City of Villavicencio, Colombia: Interaction With the “One Health” Approach

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Toxocara spp. is one of the most neglected zoonotic soil‐transmitted helminths worldwide, causing toxocariasis in humans. The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of Toxocara spp. in dogs, cats, and their owners, the coprodiagnostic incidence in dogs and cats, the risk factors, and association with atopy in owners of ...
