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.

Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

Prevalence of mouse and rat parasites in resource recovery plants, farms and housing areas of Southern Selangor: implication for public health [PDF]
Parasites of small mammals living in human areas cause a tremendous burden of vector borne disease. Small mammals infected with parasites can readily facilitate parasitic transmission to humans and other susceptible animal hosts.

Fish Pathogens and Associated Zoonotic Risks in Aquaculture: A Global One Health Perspective
ABSTRACT Aquaculture sector is a key contributor to global food and nutritional security, yet its rapid intensification has heightened concerns about the emergence and spread of zoonotic fish pathogens that threaten human, animal and environmental health.

Monospecific helminth and arthropod infections in an urban population of brown rats from Doha, Qatar [PDF]
Parasitic infections were studied for the first time in an urban population of brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from Doha. Only one species of helminth was found, the cestode Hymenolepis diminuta, and one ectoparasite, the flea Xenopsylla astia, from a ...

Epidemiology of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense Diphyllobothriasis, Japan, 2001–2016
We report 958 cases of cestodiasis occurring in Japan during 2001–2016. The predominant pathogen was Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense tapeworm (n = 825), which caused 86.1% of all cases. The other cestode species involved were Taenia spp.

Density-dependent effects on the survival and growth of the rodent stomach worm Protospirura muricola in laboratory mice [PDF]
The spirurid nematode, Protospirura muricola, is of intrinsic interest as a rodent model of gastric nematode infections. Since worm burdens can be very heavy in nature, density dependent processes may constrain parasite growth. Laboratory mice (BKW) were

Cognitive Manifestations of Racemose Neurocysticercosis: A Two Case Report
Abstract Background Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a central nervous system infection caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Taenia solium, endemic in Latin America and Asia. It can present as intraparenchymal or racemose (rNCC) forms, with symptoms including epilepsy, headaches, and intracranial hypertension.

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.
