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 ...

Epidemiological Dynamics of a Visually Apparent Disease: Camera Trapping and Machine‐Learning Applied to Rumpwear in the Common Brushtail Possum

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Visually apparent diseases are valuable for investigating and monitoring the occurrence and prevalence of pathogens in wildlife populations through passive monitoring methods like camera trapping. Rumpwear is characterized by visible signs of hair breakage and damage on the lumbosacral region of common brushtail possums.

Needle in a Haystack: A Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay to Detect Rare Helminth Parasites Infecting Natural Host Populations

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth‐borne diseases are zoonotic, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species.

Seroprevalence and Risk Factors for Cysticercosis in Mexican Americans in Starr County, Texas

Pathogens
Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection and neglected tropical disease caused by Taenia solium, or the pork tapeworm. Cysticercosis with central nervous system involvement, or neurocysticercosis, is a leading cause of chronic headaches and epilepsy in ...

Niclosamide prodrug enhances oral bioavailability and efficacy against hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting vasorin‐TGFβ signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the third leading cause of cancer‐related deaths worldwide, has limited treatment options and high mortality rate. We previously used a bioinformatics approach to identify niclosamide (NIC) as a promising repurposed drug candidate for HCC.

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

Helminth induced suppression of macrophage activation is correlated with inhibition of calcium channel activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Helminth parasites cause persistent infections in humans and yet many infected individuals are asymptomatic. Neurocysticercosis (NCC), a disease of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by the cestode Taenia solium, has a long asymptomatic phase ...

Brain‐Encysting Trematodes Increase the Frequency but Reduce the Repeatability of Surfacing Behaviour in Mottled Triplefin

Ethology, EarlyView.
In Otago Harbour, New Zealand, the trophically transmitted trematode Cardiocephaloides ovicorpus infects the brain of a population of mottled triplefin (Forsterygion capito) with high prevalence and intensity. Behavioural tests revealed that the infection intensity was significantly positively correlated with surfacing frequency, and repeatability of ...
