Nonhost species reduce parasite infection in a focal host species within experimental fish communities

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The dilution effect describes the negative association between host biodiversity and the risk of infectious disease. Tests designed to understand the relative roles of host species richness, host species identity, and rates of exposure within ...

Preliminary genetic evidence of two different populations of Opisthorchis viverrini in Lao PDR [PDF]

, 2017
Opisthorchis viverrini is a major public health concern in Southeast Asia. Various reports have suggested that this parasite may represent a species complex, with genetic structure in the region perhaps being dictated by geographical factors and ...

Harnessing controlled human infection models to accelerate vaccine development for neglected tropical diseases: Lessons from leishmaniasis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.
Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) offer a powerful approach to accelerate vaccine development for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This review highlights scientific and translational advances enabled by CHIMs, with a focus on a novel Leishmania major model.

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

Studies on the interactions between larval stages of digenetic flukes and their molluscan hosts [PDF]

, 1984
Snails of the species Thais (Nucella) lapillus (L) were collected from Scarborough South Bay, and Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire. The presence of the rediae of Parorchia acanthus NICOLL (Digenea: PHILOPHTHALMIDAE) in T.lapillus individuals was ...

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.

Genetic Diversity and Ecological Distribution of Bulinus Populations in Southern Benin Using PCR‐RFLP Analysis

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

Parasitic Infections of Freshwater Fish in Kenya: Prevalence Patterns, Ecological Drivers, and Implications for Aquaculture Sustainability

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fish parasitic infections present a growing threat to freshwater aquaculture in Kenya, affecting fish health, reducing productivity, and limiting the economic potential of small‐scale and commercial farms. This review provides the first consolidated national checklist of freshwater fish parasites in Kenya, synthesizing evidence from lakes, rivers, and ...
