Mechanical Transmission of Protozoan and Helminthic Parasites by Synanthropic Flies in Sana′a, Yemen

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Nonbiting flies, particularly Musca domestica and Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis, are widely recognized as potential mechanical vectors of intestinal parasites.

Phytochemical Profiling, Antioxidant, Cytotoxicity, and Anthelmintic Activity of the Bark Extracts of Terminalia superba Against the Murine Intestinal Nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus: An Integrated In Vitro and In Silico Approach

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Intestinal helminthiases are major global health concerns affecting over a billion people, causing significant morbidity, mortality, and economic losses in both humans and livestock. The growing emergence of drug‐resistant parasites has intensified the search for new, safe anthelmintic alternatives.

Efficacy and Safety of Dupilumab in Children With Moderate‐to‐Severe Asthma: A Systematic Review of Emerging Phase 3 Evidence

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 60, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Dupilumab is a human monoclonal antibody targeting the IL‐4 receptor. There is a paucity of evidence regarding its efficacy and safety in pediatrics. Pediatric‐specific data are limited, and most evidence comes from recent phase 3 trials and post hoc analyses.

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...

DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A METHOD FOR GENETIC DETECTION OF ENTEROBIUS VERMICULARIS IN SAMPLES OF PATIENTS WITH ENTEROBIАSIS [PDF]

Journal of IMAB
Purpose. The routine diagnosis of enterobiasis consists of a microscopic examination of perianal imprints on a transparent scotch tape for the presence of parasitic eggs. However, this method has low sensitivity when the number of eggs is small.
