Global Burden of Clinostomum complanatum in Freshwater Fish: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence and Pathological Effect

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinostomum complanatum infection is a trematode parasite infecting diverse freshwater fish hosts, causing pathological damage and economic losses. Despite its veterinary and public health importance, its global burden remains insufficiently quantified. This study aimed to assess the global burden of C.

Effects of Different Living Environments on Intestinal Flora in Patients With Schistosoma Japonicum‐Induced Liver Fibrosis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Different living environments have a significant impact on the gut microbiota of patients with Schistosoma japonicum. ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis japonica is a parasitic disease leading to liver cirrhosis. China's “fishermen going ashore” policy divides patients with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis into two groups: those near the infected waters and those ...

Fasciola Metacercaria Contamination in Wetland Pastures and Its Association With Forage Characteristics Across Agro‐Ecological Zones: Case of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In Ethiopia's Gamo Zone, we found that highly palatable, protein‐rich forage species in wetlands carry the highest burden of Fasciola metacercariae. This creates a direct conflict between livestock nutrition and health, demanding integrated management strategies to mitigate disease risk.

Early Induction of Human Regulatory Dermal Antigen Presenting Cells by Skin-Penetrating Schistosoma Mansoni Cercariae

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Following initial invasion of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae, schistosomula reside in the skin for several days during which they can interact with the dermal immune system. While murine experiments have indicated that exposure to radiation-attenuated (RA)

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 ...
