Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Blastocystis sp. in Humans, Dogs and Cats in Gabon: A One Health Perspective

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 226-233, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Blastocystis sp. is a cosmopolitan protist that colonises the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, including humans, dogs and cats. Although its pathogenicity remains debated, Blastocystis sp. has been linked to gastrointestinal symptoms and alterations in the gut microbiota.

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

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

Intestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Significance in Human and Domestic Animals in a Rural Setting in Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the
