Cynnamoyl benzylpiperazine was identified as drug‐like derivative of cinnarizine with anthelmintic activity against A. cantonensis. In this work, 15 out of 31 derivatives showed improved anthelmintic activity with increased solubility. A SAR study was carried out to determine the molecular features involved in such effect.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

IL‐25 Enhances Eosinophil‐Associated Inflammation in Angiostrongylus cantonensis‐Infected Mice
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the role of interleukin (IL)‐25 in the pathogenesis of angiostrongylosis. We used ICR mice as non‐permissive hosts, divided them into groups and experimentally infected them with infective larvae of the Angiostrongylus cantonensis.

Pulmonary pathology in white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) with natural Heterostrongylus heterostrongylus () infections [PDF]
Carcasses of road-killed wild animals provide critical insights into animal health and environmental conditions. However, data on the presence of lung parasites and their effects on the health of white-eared opossums are limited. This study examines lung
