Opportunistic Feeding and Parasite Assemblages in Sei Whales (Balaenoptera borealis) From Southern Chile Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study represents the first metabarcoding‐based description of prey composition and parasite‐associated taxa in stranded sei whales from southern South America. ABSTRACT Balaenopterid whales are major consumers in pelagic ecosystems and play a fundamental role in marine food webs.

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.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 5, Page e238-e249, 5/12 September 2026.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Differences in Parasite Infection Status and Behavior Between a Clonal Fish and Her Sexually Reproducing Heterospecifics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We found that Amazons and Sailfins differed in their qualitative, but not quantitative, resistance to parasites. Amazons had worse qualitative resistance (i.e., were more likely to be infected with at least one parasite) and spent more time in the open, riskier portion of the assay arena. Parasite prevalence and load differed between our two collection

Raw Whitebait as a Probable Source of Human Diplogonoporus balaenopterae Infection in Non‐Coastal Area: A Case Report

Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe a case of a man in his late 20s who presented with symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, and passage of string‐like materials following the consumption of raw whitebait. Stool analysis was negative for eggs and parasites. However, a worm segment corroborated by subsequent genetic sequencing confirmed infection with Diplogonoporus ...

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 ...
