The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

The Journal of Parasitology, 1917 During the months of April, May, June, and July of 1916, I examined 1,500 molluscs from the rivers and fresh-water pools of Natal. They included several species. Limnaea natalensis is a common form with a dextral shell. Physopsis africana, a common mollusc amongst decomposing vegetation, has a blunt-pointed sinistral shell with a truncate columella ...

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Schistosoma Species and Hybrid Genotyping With a Field Deployable Multi‐Marker Amplicon Panel
Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Schistosomes are parasitic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, responsible for causing urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis. Six primary species infect humans: S. mansoni, S. japonicum, S. mekongi, S. intercalatum, S. guineensis, and S. haematobium. In addition, several species including S. bovis, S. curassoni, and S.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023
Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 486-496, March 2026.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.

The lethal effect of soap on Schistosoma mansoni cercariae in water.
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesBackgroundSchistosomiasis is a parasitic disease which is spread through skin contact with water containing Schistosoma cercariae. Drug treatment has been the main control method, but it does not prevent reinfection.

A suggested repellent for Schistosome cercariae [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 1947 Attack by the cercariae of Schistosoma haematobium, S. mansoni and S. japonicum causes in man debilitating diseases which in certain countries are widespread. Infection is mainly through the skin, though it can occur through drinking water containing the parasites.

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.
