Needle in a Haystack: A Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay to Detect Rare Helminth Parasites Infecting Natural Host Populations

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth‐borne diseases are zoonotic, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Ghana: A Review of Infections and the Risk of Zoonotic Transmission

BioMed Research International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Intestinal parasites pose a risk to public health globally, causing a high economic burden in developing countries. Most diagnostic methods aimed at detecting these parasites in hospital settings are not sensitive to recovering parasites. Hence, the prevalence of these diseases remains a challenge in areas of poor environmental sanitation and ...
