Helminth Diversity in Anurans from the State of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil: New Occurrences and Ecological Aspects in a Caatinga-Cerrado ecotonal area [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Ecological studies and inventories regarding parasitic helminths in Piauí remain limited. Thus, this study aimed to describe the helminth communities of anurans in the State of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil, and present an updated list of helminth parasites

Childhood Malnutrition and Parasitic Helminth Interactions [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2014
There is evidence to support that nutritional deficiency can reduce the body's immune function, thereby decreasing resistance to disease and increasing susceptibility to intestinal parasites.A cross-sectional survey was carried out on 693 school-aged children from 5 schistosomiasis-endemic villages in Northern Samar, the Philippines.

Dietary Habits and Atopic Dermatitis Significantly Influence the Fecal Microbiome

Allergy, EarlyView.
Atopic dermatitis, dietary habits, sex, and BMI significantly influenced the fecal microbiome composition. On the species level, Faecalibacterium taiwanense was more abundant in atopic dermatitis, and Vescimonas sp000435555 was more abundant in the control population. On the genus level, CAG‐302 (NCBI: Clostridium) was more abundant in controls.

Host specificity and the structure of helminth parasite communities of fishes in a Neotropical river in Mexico

Parasite, 2016
In a tropical locality of Río La Antigua, Veracruz, Mexico, 11 fish species, represented by 244 individual fish from six freshwater fish families living sympatrically and synchronically, were examined for helminth parasites.

The Hygiene Hypothesis and Its Inconvenient Truths about Helminth Infections. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Current iterations of the hygiene hypothesis suggest an adaptive role for helminth parasites in shaping the proper maturation of the immune system. However, aspects of this hypothesis are based on assumptions that may not fully account for realities ...

Dark diversity of flea (Siphonaptera) assemblages in South American rodents: Latitudinal and altitudinal gradients

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from north to south. The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from lower to higher altitudes. The dark diversity of component flea communities also increased from north to south but did not vary with altitude.

Inventarisasi Cacing Parasitik pada Ikan Kembung di Perairan Teluk Banten dan Pelabuhan Ratu (THE HELMINTH PARASITES INVENTORY OF RASTRELLIGER SP. FROM BANTEN BAY AND PELABUHAN RATU BAY)

Jurnal Veteriner, 2015
The monitoring of health and disease in a fish is important as parasitism plays a central role in fishbiology. Parasitism is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the marine environment and it is probable that allmarine fishes are infected with parasites.

Sustainable control of cyathostomin infections in practice

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Cyathostomins are the most prevalent helminths in horses and are found in nearly all grazing groups. These parasites have been shown to exhibit widespread anthelmintic resistance and can cause clinical disease, so they are a growing concern.
