Field Survey of Freshwater Invertebrates Reveals That Several Groups Are Potential Carriers of the Fungal Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated global amphibian biodiversity. The specific reasons for its rapid global spread, especially to pristine areas, are not well understood. Freshwater invertebrates might function as carriers of Bd, but the diversity and extent

A Consistent PCR-RFLP Assay Based on ITS-2 Ribosomal DNA for Differentiation of Fasciola Species [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2013
Objective(s): Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by liver fluke species of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Differentiation of these two species, based on their morphological characteristics, is difficult.

Hypereosinophilia Associated With Antisynthetase Syndrome With Anti‐Ro52/PL12 Co‐Positivity: An Unusual Presentation

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypereosinophilia is uncommon in ASS and this presentation makes diagnosis more challenging. Anti‐PL12's role in the severity of ILD is controversial but its association with anti‐Ro52 seems to give a more serious disease phenotype. African ethnicity could be a negative prognostic factor, associated with lung disease severity.

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.

Pathological and Epidemiological Assessment of Trematode Burden in Ruminants From Central Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
• Trematode infections were highly prevalent (49.22%) among ruminants in central Ethiopia, with fasciolosis (32.42%) and paramphistomosis (16.80%) strongly associated with poor body condition and specific geographic origins. • Histopathological and haematological analyses revealed severe liver and intestinal damage, anaemia, and elevated liver enzymes,
