Cestodiasis: A Narrative Review of Neglected Zoonotic Cestodes from Wild Rodents

Journal of Parasite Science
Zoonotic cestodes associated with wild rodents constitute an underrecognized component of neglected zoonotic diseases, particularly in resource-limited settings where ecological and sanitary conditions facilitate transmission.

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
