Molecular Detection of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense in Humans, China

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
The cause of diphyllobothriosis in 5 persons in Harbin and Shanghai, China, during 2008–2011, initially attributed to the tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum, was confirmed as D. nihonkaiense by using molecular analysis of expelled proglottids.

Host Switching of Zoonotic Broad Fish Tapeworm (Dibothriocephalus latus) to Salmonids, Patagonia [PDF]

, 2019
Diphyllobothriosis is a reemerging zoonotic disease because of global trade and increased popularity of eating raw fish. We present molecular evidence of host switching of a human-infecting broad fish tapeworm, Dibothriocephalus latus, and use of ...

Glycosphingolipids in human parasites

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1625-1635, September 2023., 2023
The parasites that infect humans and animals include protozoans and helminths (worms). Their secretions and cellular membranes contain complex glycomolecules including glycoproteins and glycolipids. A class of glycolipids shared between humans and parasites are the glycosphingolipids (GSLs) containing a lipid (ceramide) linked to a glycan ...

Parasites and Pollutants: Effects of Multiple Stressors on Aquatic Organisms

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1946-1959, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Parasites can affect their hosts in various ways, and this implies that parasites may act as additional biotic stressors in a multiple‐stressor scenario, resembling conditions often found in the field if, for example, pollutants and parasites occur simultaneously.

Parasite infections in a social carnivore: Evidence of their fitness consequences and factors modulating infection load [PDF]

, 2019
There are substantial individual differences in parasite composition and infection load in wildlife populations. Few studies have investigated the factors shaping this heterogeneity in large wild mammals or the impact of parasite infections on Darwinian ...

Parasites indicate trophic complexity and faunal succession in restored oyster reefs over a 22‐year period

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Foundation species like the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) create complex habitats for organisms across multiple trophic levels. Historic declines in oyster abundance have prompted decades of restoration efforts. However, it remains unclear how long it takes for restored reefs to resemble the trophic complexity of natural reefs.
