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

Global Warming Affects the Pathogenesis of Important Fish Diseases in European Aquaculture
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.The effect of global warming on pathogens and their fish hosts that could exacerbate the negative outcomes for aquaculture. Changes in farming practices and the development of innovative mitigation tools may prove essential to cope with the effects and impacts of rising water temperatures on fish diseases in Europe.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern in Benin. Freshwater snails of the genus Bulinus serve as intermediate hosts for schistosomes, trematode parasites responsible for bilharzia. The urinary form, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, is the most prevalent and is primarily transmitted by Bulinus truncatus and Bulinus globosus, whereas the
