No Simple Fluke: Schistosomiasis as an Emerging Regulator of Haematopoiesis
Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is a highly prevalent water‐borne helminth infection that accounts for an estimated 1.5–1.7 billion disability‐adjusted life years lost annually. Pathology driven by adult worms and eggs is accompanied by robust immunomodulation in the human host. Protective responses may promote worm elimination, limit bystander

Competent Non‐Native Alternative Host Reduces Infection Success in a Generalist Parasite
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.In this study, we experimentally assessed how the addition of a non‐native alternative host affects the infection success of the larval generalist trematode, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, in fish intermediate hosts. Our results demonstrate that the presence of alternative hosts, especially the non‐native ones, can reduce parasite transmission through ...

The Cercariae of the Transvaal [PDF]
Parasitology, 1918 During the months of September, October, November and December 1917 I collected 1250 different specimens of fresh-water snails from various parts of the Transvaal, more especially from the sources of the Vaal and Crocodile rivers. All the larger specimens I submitted to microscopic examination for possible infection with cercariae.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The survival function of nine larval wood frog populations and their viral loads when exposed to FV3. The populations were collected as eggs from a range of salt‐polluted ponds. Viral load data are means ±1 SE. The populations are ordered in terms of the saltiness of their natal ponds.
