Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity-Climate-Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco-Evolutionary and One Health Research. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Ovine Fasciolosis in Sheep Slaughtered at Addis Ababa Abattoir Enterprise, Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Ovine fasciolosis is a widely prevalent trematode disease of small ruminants in Ethiopia that causes significant animal health and economic impacts, particularly in sheep. A cross‐sectional study was carried out at Addis Ababa Abattoir Enterprise, Ethiopia, from December 2022 to May 2023 with the objective of estimating the prevalence of ovine ...

First Report of Fascioliasis of Ruminants in the Kharaa River Basin and Identification of Snail Hosts in Mongolia. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Fascioliasis is a parasitic liver disease of mammals induced by liver flukes, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Fasciola spp. rely on their definitive hosts, ruminants, and intermediate hosts, snails, to survive and can incidentally infect humans as definitive hosts. Ruminant (goat, sheep, and cattle) liver and fecal samples were collected from
