Application of Microbial and Parasitology Techniques for Diagnosis in Laboratory Rodents

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Pathogen diagnosis in rodents through effective health monitoring programs is essential for maintaining high welfare and standards in laboratory animal facilities. Although many animal facilities are increasingly adopting real‐time polymerase chain reaction testing of environmental or filter samples for pathogen detection, thereby reducing the

Casease in Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]

Nature, 1959
CASEASE, the proteolytic, casein-hydrolysing enzyme, has been reported in many bacteria. It has not hitherto been detected in the protozoan, Entamoeba histolytica. In earlier studies, Nakamura1 reported the absence of casease in certain strains of the amœbae.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Gastrointestinal Parasites of Free‐Ranging Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Kathmandu: A One Health Perspective on Shared Environmental Risks

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Free‐ranging rhesus macaques at Kathmandu's UNESCO heritage sites exhibit a 77.1% prevalence of potentially zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites. These findings highlight significant environmental contamination and a shared exposure risk, emphasizing the critical need for integrated One Health management strategies at the urban human‐wildlife interface.

In Vitro Antiparasitic Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Sarcocystis Bradyzoites

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In vitro, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit dose and time‐dependent antiparasitic activity against Sarcocystis bradyzoites from sheep, achieving up to 59.53% mortality at 800 µg/mL after 120 min. These results suggest AgNPs may be a potential alternative to traditional drugs, meriting further in vivo investigation for veterinary use.

Rapid diagnosis of Entamoeba infection by using Entamoeba and Entamoeba histolytica stool antigen detection kits [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1995
Humans are infected by two morphologically identical species of Entamoeba: Entamoeba histolytica causes amebic colitis and liver abscess, and Entamoeba dispar is noninvasive. Several weeks of culture and isoenzyme (zymodeme) analysis are required to differentiate E. histolytica from E. dispar.

Taxon, Arboreality, Sex, and Season—Factors Influencing Gastrointestinal Parasite Occurrence in Zoo‐Housed Non‐Human Primates

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 371-381, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The emergence of anthelminthic resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon in livestock and companion animals. Given the scarcity of new antiparasitic drugs, the implementation of effective, holistic anthelminthic control strategies is critical to preserving the efficacy of existing treatments.
