Cestode infections in non-human primates suggest the existence of zoonotic cycles in the area surrounding the Strasbourg primatology center [PDF]
Background: Several cases of infections due to Echinococcus multilocularis, Taenia martis and Taenia crassiceps were recently described in various species of captive non-human primates (NHPs) harbored in the Strasbourg Primate Center (SPC).

Praziquantel treatment in trematode and cestode infections: an update. [PDF]
Status and emerging issues in the use of praziquantel for treatment of human trematode and cestode infections are briefly reviewed. Since praziquantel was first introduced as a broadspectrum anthelmintic in 1975, innumerable articles describing its ...

Immunodiagnostic and molecular approaches for the detection of taeniid cestode infections.
This article summarizes the most recent advances in techniques and applications for the detection of taeniid cestode-infected persons or animals. In addition, the use of molecular approaches for strain identification and control of parasite transmission is discussed.

Evaluating noninvasive methods for estimating cestode prevalence in a wild carnivore population.
Helminth infections are cryptic and can be difficult to study in wildlife species. Helminth research in wildlife hosts has historically required invasive animal handling and necropsy, while results from noninvasive parasite research, like scat analysis ...

Host–gut microbiota interactions shape parasite infections in farmed Atlantic salmon
Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype.

Comparing cestode infections and their consequences for host fitness in two sexual branchiopods: alien Artemia franciscana and native A. salina from syntopic-populations. [PDF]
The American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is invasive in the Mediterranean region where it has displaced native species (the sexual A. salina, and the clonal A. parthenogenetica) from many salt pond complexes.
