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

open access: yesEthology, Volume 131, Issue 11, Page 239-249, November 2025.
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 ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Prevalence of mouse and rat parasites in resource recovery plants, farms and housing areas of Southern Selangor: implication for public health [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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.

Are all hosts created equal? Partitioning host species contributions to parasite persistence in multihost communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Many parasites circulate endemically within communities of multiple host species. To understand disease persistence within these communities, it is essential to know the contribution each host species makes to parasite transmission and maintenance ...

POLYCYSTIC ECHINOCOCCOSIS IN COLOMBIA: THE LARVAL CESTODES IN INFECTED RODENTS

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 1979
Described are the characteristics of the polycystic larval cestodes found in an endemic area of echinococcosis in the Easter Plains of Colombia and the tissue reaction evoked in infected rodents. Of 848 free-ranging animals examined, polycystic hydatids were found in 44/93 Cuniculus paca and 1/369 Proechimys sp.

Reasons to be fearful? Rising proportions of positive faecal worm egg counts among UK horses (2007–2023)

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 6, Page 1572-1583, November 2025.
Abstract Background Anthelmintic resistance (AR) threatens effective equine parasite control. Quarterly data summaries from faecal worm egg count testing (FWECT) performed by UK laboratories have appeared in Equine Quarterly Disease Surveillance Reports (EQDSR) since 2007, but have not previously been assessed.
