Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2017 Gnathostomiasis is a foodborne zoonotic parasitosis caused by Gnathostoma nematodes. It has caused significant public problems worldwide, but its molecular biology is limited. The purpose of this study was to decode the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of Gnathostoma nipponicum and Gnathostoma sp., and compare their mt sequences with other ...

Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Paragonimiasis Diagnosed Through Detection of Parasitic Ova in Pleural Effusion: A Clinical Case Report. [PDF]
Respirol Case RepWe report a rare case of paragonimiasis initially presenting with trauma. Initial imaging and laboratory findings were predominantly indicative of trauma and nonspecific inflammatory responses, which obscured the clues of parasitic infection. The definitive diagnosis was achieved through comprehensive epidemiological history collection and parasitic ...

Re-evaluation of certain aspects of the EFSA Scientific Opinion of April 2010 on risk assessment of parasites in fishery products, based on new scientific data. Part 2. [PDF]
EFSA JAbstract The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish.
