Identification of Putative Neuropeptides That Alter the Behaviour of Schistosoma mansoni Cercariae
Biology, 2022 Elucidating the infectivity of Schistosoma mansoni, one of the main etiological agents of human schistosomiasis, requires an improved understanding of the behavioural mechanisms of cercariae, the non-feeding mammalian infective stage.

No Tail No Fail: Life Cycles of the Zoogonidae (Digenea)
Diversity, 2023 The Zoogonidae is the only digenean family where known cercariae lack the tail but actively search for the second intermediate host. However, the data on the zoogonid life cycles are scarce. In the present study, we elucidated and verified life cycles of

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.
