Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

Brain‐Encysting Trematodes Increase the Frequency but Reduce the Repeatability of Surfacing Behaviour in Mottled Triplefin

Ethology, EarlyView.
In Otago Harbour, New Zealand, the trophically transmitted trematode Cardiocephaloides ovicorpus infects the brain of a population of mottled triplefin (Forsterygion capito) with high prevalence and intensity. Behavioural tests revealed that the infection intensity was significantly positively correlated with surfacing frequency, and repeatability of ...

Malaria, helminths, co-infection and anaemia in a cohort of children from Mutengene, south western Cameroon

Malaria Journal, 2016
BackgroundMalaria and helminthiases frequently co-infect the same individuals in endemic zones. Plasmodium falciparum and helminth infections have long been recognized as major contributors to anaemia in endemic countries.

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.

CD4+ tissue‐resident memory T cells and their role in immunity

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
In this article, we review and discuss the role of CD4+ tissue‐resident memory T (TRM) cells and their role in immune protection in tissues, such as the lungs, by facilitating pathogen clearance through cytokine production and local immune interactions.

Helminths are positively associated with atopy and wheeze in Ugandan fishing communities: results from a cross‐sectional survey

Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2016
Parasitic helminths are potent immunomodulators and chronic infections may protect against allergy‐related disease and atopy. We conducted a cross‐sectional survey to test the hypothesis that in heavily helminth‐exposed fishing villages on Lake Victoria,

Tyro3 deletion is protective in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple sclerosis pathogenesis involves the complex interplay between the peripheral immune response and the central nervous system. Gas6 is a promising therapy to promote remyelination; however, Gas6 and its receptors (the TAM receptor family) are widely expressed in both immune cells and the central nervous system. Our study demonstrates that global

Co-infection prevalence of helminths and associated risk factors among schoolchildren in the Lake Tana Basin, Northwest Ethiopia

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Helminths are important public health infectious agents and are highly prevalent in the tropics, including Ethiopia. Schoolchildren are highly vulnerable to these parasitic infections due to several personal habits. Although their helminths co-
