Assessing the microbiota of the snail intermediate host of trematodes, Galba truncatula [PDF]
Background The microbiome is known to play key roles in health and disease, including host susceptibility to parasite infections. The freshwater snail Galba truncatula is the intermediate host for many trematode species, including the liver and rumen ...

Environmental influences on the distribution and ecology of the fluke intermediate host Galba truncatula: a systematic review [PDF]
Galba truncatula is one of the most distributed intermediate hosts of Fasciola hepatica across Europe, North Africa and South America. Therefore, understanding the environmental preferences of this species is vital for developing control strategies for ...

Detoxome Capacity of the Adult Rumen Fluke Calicophoron daubneyi Extends into Its Secreted Extracellular Vesicles. [PDF]
Helminth parasites have long adapted to survive hostile host environments and can likely adapt against the chemical anthelmintic challenge. One proposed adaptation route is via Phase I and II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XMEs). For successful Helminth pharmacotherapy discovery programs, a working understanding of Helminth-derived chemical ...

Transmission of Calicophoron daubneyi and Fasciola hepatica in Galicia (Spain): Temporal follow-up in the intermediate and definitive hosts. [PDF]
Paramphistomosis caused by Calicophoron daubneyi and fasciolosis caused by Fasciola hepatica are common parasitic diseases of livestock animals. Transmission of the diseases depends on the presence of intermediate hosts, i.e. freshwater gastropods such as lymnaeids.

Optimized conditions for thein vitroexcystment ofCalicophoron daubneyimetacercariae [PDF]
AbstractParamphistomosis, caused byCalicophoron daubneyi, is an emerging infection of ruminants throughout Western Europe. Despite its prevalence, many questions remain regarding the basic biology of this parasite and how it interacts with its host. Consequently, there is a need to develop methods to studyC.
