Perspectives on intestinal tapeworm infections: An evaluation of direct and indirect life-cycles with a special emphasis on species of Hymenolepis

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Numerous experimental studies have been conducted on the rodent tapeworm, Hymenolepis microstoma. In contrast, less is known about the life-cycle and immunobiology of the zoonotic dwarf tapeworm, Hymenolepis nana. However, H. nana appears to be unique in

Molecular Prevalence and Identification of Zoonotic Plasmodium spp., Including Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium cynomolgi, and Plasmodium inui, in Long‐Tailed Macaques (Macaca fascicularis) of Southern Thailand

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Zoonotic malaria, caused by simian Plasmodium spp., poses a major public health challenge in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, where long‐tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) serve as natural reservoirs. This study investigated the molecular prevalence and species identification of zoonotic simian Plasmodium spp.

Health‐promoting worms? Prospects and pitfalls of helminth therapy

BioEssays, Volume 46, Issue 11, November 2024.
Helminths were evolutionary and still are common symbionts of the human microbiome. They play a crucial and contrasting role in several diseases (e.g., autoimmune diseases and allergies), showing potential therapeutic properties. Despite the first data and hype generated, we need further rigorous studies to confirm the results.

Muscular remodeling and anteroposterior patterning during tapeworm segmentation

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 253, Issue 11, Page 998-1023, November 2024.
Abstract Background Tapeworms are parasitic flatworms that independently evolved a segmented body plan, historically confounding comparisons with other animals. Anteroposterior (AP) patterning in free‐living flatworms and in tapeworm larvae is associated with canonical Wnt signaling and positional control genes (PCGs) are expressed by their musculature

Factors influencing the development and carbohydrate metabolism of Echinococcus granulosus in dogs [PDF]

, 1998
Echinococcus granulosus adult worms, 35 days postinfection, were measured for dispersion in the intestines of 10 dogs, a range of morphological characters, and the excreted end products of carbohydrate catabolism following 4 hr incubation in vitro.

Biochemical characterization and gene structure analysis of the 24‐kDa glutathione transferase sigma from Taenia solium

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 726-739, May 2024.
Glutathione transferases (GST) are involved in detoxification and immunomodulation, allowing the establishment and development of cestodes in the host. Taenia solium has a 24‐kDa GST sigma class inducible gene that encodes a stable enzyme in a wide range of pHs and temperatures. Its enzymatic activity differs from other GSTs in the parasite, suggesting
