Comparative Analysis of Gut Eukaryotic Communities in Three Laboratory‐Reared Cockroach Species Using Metabarcoding

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cockroaches are known reservoirs for diverse bacterial microbiomes. However, comprehensive analyses of the eukaryotic communities within cockroaches remain limited. In this study, we selected three long‐term laboratory‐reared cockroach species (Blattella germanica, Periplaneta fuliginosa, and Periplaneta japonica) and performed metabarcoding ...

Human ascariasis: diagnostics update [PDF]

, 2015
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infect over one billion people worldwide. Ascariasis may mimic a number of conditions, and individual clinical diagnosis often requires a thorough work-up.

Processing and release of endogenous immunogenic peptide signals

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 3, May 2026.
SUMMARY In both animals and plants, small secreted peptides known as cytokines and phytocytokines mediate local and systemic communication during immune and stress responses. These signaling molecules are typically synthesized as inactive precursors that require proteolytic processing to become active.

Molecular Engineering of the Helminth TGF‐β Mimetics, TGM1 and TGM4, Reveals a Novel Antagonist of TGF‐β Signaling in Fibroblasts

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
The helminth TGF‐β mimic TGM4 activates SMAD signaling in macrophages and T cells through canonical TGF‐β receptors and the CD44 co‐receptor, through Domains 1–5 (D1‐5). In fibroblasts, which express lower levels of CD44, TGM4 binds but does not transduce a signal; furthermore, it inhibits activation by agonist ligands such as TGF‐β itself, in a manner

External disturbances impact helminth–host interactions by affecting dynamics of infection, parasite traits, and host immune responses

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
External perturbations, such as multispecies infections or anthelmintic treatments, can alter host–parasite interactions with consequences on the dynamics of infection.

Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) Family Members in Helminth Infections

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2011
Helminth parasites are a diverse group of multicellular organisms. Despite their heterogeneity, helminths share many common characteristics, such as the modulation of the immune system of their hosts towards a permissive state that favors their ...

Exploratory Toxicogenomic Analysis of Parasite-Related Th2 Immune Response

Parasitologia
Helminth parasites infect mammalian hosts through complex life cycles, mostly triggering T helper type 2 (Th2) immune responses characterized by interleukin-4 (IL4), interleukin-5 (IL5), and interleukin-13 (IL13) production.

A type 2 immune circuit and arachidonic acid metabolism role in anti-nematode infection: evidence from transcriptome and targeted metabolome data in goat

Animal
The gastrointestinal nematode infection poses a covert threat to both humans and domestic animals worldwide, eliciting a type 2 immune response within the small intestine.

Gastrointestinal Parasites in Non-Human Primates in Zoological Gardens in Northern Italy

Animals
Non-human primates (NHPs) host a variety of helminth and protist parasites that are able to cause infection in humans. Gastrointestinal parasites in NHPs living in two zoological gardens of Northern Italy were studied.
