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.

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.
