Chlorination of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Schistosomiasis is a water-based disease acquired through contact with cercaria-infested water. Communities living in endemic regions often rely on parasite-contaminated freshwater bodies for their daily water contact activities, resulting in recurring schistosomiasis infection.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Kinetics of the cercaria-schistosomul um transformation in vivo: 2. The effect of oxamniquine

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1985
To study the cercaria-schistosomulum transformation in vivo, underthe influence of an antischistosomal compound (oxamniquine), a model using cercarial infections into the abdominal cavity of mice was chosen.

Infection sequence alters disease severity—Effects of the sequential exposure of two larval trematodes to Polypedates cruciger tadpoles

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Multiple pathogens coexist in nature, and hence, host species often encounter several pathogens simultaneously. The sequence in which the host encounters the parasites influences interactions between parasites and host pathology.

Filter feeding by oysters reduces disease transmission in a marine host–parasite system

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract As a mechanism of the dilution effect, predation and filter feeding on parasitic propagules are hypothesized to reduce transmission to susceptible hosts and alter host–parasite interactions. In marine systems, the effect of other community members on the disease dynamics of microparasites in their suitable hosts is poorly known.

Harnessing controlled human infection models to accelerate vaccine development for neglected tropical diseases: Lessons from leishmaniasis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.
Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) offer a powerful approach to accelerate vaccine development for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This review highlights scientific and translational advances enabled by CHIMs, with a focus on a novel Leishmania major model.

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that
