Parasitocenosis of domestic and wild ruminant animals in the Kaliningrad region

Российский паразитологический журнал, 2016
The results of helminthological and ecological researches of domestic and wild animals in the Kaliningrad area are indicated. The potential possibility of ex- change of helminths between wild and domestic animals is established.

Needle in a Haystack: A Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay to Detect Rare Helminth Parasites Infecting Natural Host Populations

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth‐borne diseases are zoonotic, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species.

Field Survey on the Status of Internal Parasites in Young Calves on Farms in Eastern Slovakia

Folia Veterinaria, 2021
The objective of this study was to evaluate the species composition of protozoan and helminth parasites of young calves on farms in eastern Slovakia. Faecal samples from calves were analysed using the floatation technique, McMaster Methods and stained ...

Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in evolutionary perspective: A critical role for helminths?

Evolution, Medicine and Public Health, 2016
Heart disease and type 2 diabetes are commonly believed to be rare among contemporary subsistence-level human populations, and by extension prehistoric populations.

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
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 ...

Occupational Mite Allergy and Asthma: An EAACI Task Force Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mite sensitization is notable in several occupational settings. Elevated house dust mite concentrations are primarily detected in workplaces where people congregate and are active. Allergy to storage mites and spider mites has commonly been reported in agricultural and various food processing occupations.

A contemporary map of Fasciola hepatica distribution in sheep and cattle in New South Wales

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Fasciola hepatica is a global threat to livestock production, human health, and food security. Infection causes significant reductions in milk production and quality, feed conversion efficiency, wool quality, and reproductive performance. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, data on the distribution of F. hepatica are more than 50 years out of date and

Predicting the risk and speed of drug resistance emerging in soil-transmitted helminths during preventive chemotherapy

Nature Communications
Control of soil-transmitted helminths relies heavily on regular large-scale deworming of high-risk groups (e.g., children) with benzimidazole derivatives.

Interactions between multiple helminths and the gut microbiota in wild rodents

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015
The gut microbiota is vital to host health and, as such, it is important to elucidate the mechanisms altering its composition and diversity. Intestinal helminths are host immunomodulators and have evolved both temporally and spatially in close ...

How do parasites and predators choose their victim? A trade‐off between quality and vulnerability across antagonistic interactions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can
