Helminth Parasites among Rodents in the Middle East Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Animals, 2020
Rodents can be a source of zoonotic helminths in the Middle East and also in other parts of the world. The current systematic review aimed to provide baseline data on rodent helminths to recognize the threats of helminth parasites on public health in the

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Systematic Review of Parasite Diversity in Wild Freshwater Fishes and Their Host‐Locality Interactions in Türkiye

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review documented a taxonomically diverse parasite fauna of freshwater fishes across seven geographical regions of Türkiye, encompassing 11 phyla: Acanthocephala, Annelida, Arthropoda, Choanozoa, Ciliophora, Cnidaria, Euglenozoa, Mollusca, Myzozoa, Nematoda, and Platyhelminthes.

Tapeworm Parasite Burden Is Linked to Diet, Body Size, Condition, Growth, Restocking and Habitat Use in Piscivorous Salmonids of a Subarctic Lake

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.

First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...

Synthesis and Antiparasitic Activities of New Organometallic Derivatives of the Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Drugs

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Organometallic derivatization of existing drugs is a common strategy to look for new drug candidates. This work describes the derivatization of the benzimidazole anthelmintic scaffold, from the synthesis of the organometallic derivatives to the evaluation of their biological properties. It highlights a broad range of antiparasitic activities and leaves

Host Switching of Zoonotic Broad Fish Tapeworm (Dibothriocephalus latus) to Salmonids, Patagonia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Diphyllobothriosis is a reemerging zoonotic disease because of global trade and increased popularity of eating raw fish. We present molecular evidence of host switching of a human-infecting broad fish tapeworm, Dibothriocephalus latus, and use of ...

Development and External Validation of an Efficient Deep Learning Model for Lesion Segmentation and Subtyping of Hepatic Echinococcosis in Ultrasound Imaging

Health Care Science, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 284-298, August 2026.
We developed a lightweight deep learning framework that integrates frequency‐ and spatial‐domain ultrasound features with segmentation‐assisted classification for hepatic echinococcosis diagnosis. The model outperformed existing state‐of‐the‐art methods in both accuracy and inference speed while requiring substantially fewer computational resources ...
