Helminths of saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica L.) in the “Askania Nova” Biosphere Reserve, Ukraine
Helminthologia, 2015 Analysis of the species composition and community structure of helminths in saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) was performed using multi-year (1979-2013) data collected from the “Askania Nova” Biosphere Reserve, Ukraine.

, 2015 Class Cestoda Rudolphi The Cestoda is a relatively large, diverse group of parasites (c.8,000 species), almost all of which are found parasitic in the intestine of different groups of vertebrates. They lack a gut and absorb nutrients through their surface layer.

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Parasites affect hosts in interaction with the entire ecological community. This is particularly evident for trophically transmitted parasites, such as Dibothriocephalus tapeworms, which infect multiple intermediate fish hosts, potentially reducing their fitness and suitability for human consumption.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Using 18S rDNA metabarcoding of stomach contents from two Antarctic nototheniid fishes, we detected 242 parasite OTUs. Protists dominated diversity, metazoans dominated abundance, and depth structured assemblages. Novel parasite–host associations and previously unreported pathogenic protists highlight fish metabarcoding as a tool for biodiversity and ...

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Background The giant African land snail (Lissachatina fulica), an invasive species with significant medical, agricultural and economic importance, is abundant in urban areas of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The proximity between humans and the snail may increase the risk of pathogen transmission.
