Evaluating the In Vitro Anthelmintic Activity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) Against the Adult Stages of Fasciola hepatica

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
Resistance to currently deployed flukicide is a growing health problem. This study evaluated the in vitro anthelmintic activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) at 0.05, 0.10 and 0.12 mg/mL against Fasciola hepatica. The fastest mortality and paralysis rates of flukes were obtained at 0.12 mg/mL of ZnO‐NPs. Furthermore, SEM results showed complete

Tegumental Ultrastructure of Adult Gynaecotyla squatarolae (Digenea: Microphallidae) [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2008
Gynaecotyla squatarolae (Digenea: Microphallidae) adult flukes were recovered from experimental chicks at day 4-6 post-infection and their tegumental ultrastructure was observed with a scanning electron microscopy. They were pyriform in shape, and their anterior halves were concaved ventrally.

Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up‐to‐date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 1501-1539, December 2024.
Abstract Phoxinus minnows are small freshwater fish found throughout Eurasia. The taxonomy of this genus is still under investigation, and new species are regularly described. They are frequently introduced outside their native range due to their use as live bait for angling, and such fish introductions can have diverse impacts on the recipient areas ...

Cepaea spp. as a source of Brachylaima mesostoma (Digenea: Brachylaimidae) and Brachylecithum sp. (Digenea: Dicrocoeliidae) larvae in Poland [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 2019
AbstractParasite diagnostics were carried out on 11 Polish populations ofCepaeaspp. In three of them, coming from the roadside ditches of a village (Rytel, northern Poland), very high (up to 60%) prevalence ofBrachylaima mesostomawas observed. This study provides the first molecular evidence of the presence ofB. mesostomainsideCepaeaspp. in Europe.
