Current Insight on Cost‐Effective Management Strategies for Fasciola hepatica Disease in Cattle

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fasciola hepatica is a parasitic flatworm that causes fascioliasis, a significant disease in livestock leading to substantial economic losses in agriculture. This paper develops and analyzes a mathematical model that incorporates optimal control strategies to manage the transmission of F. hepatica.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

Equine fasciolosis due to Fasciola hepatica in the Community of Madrid (Spain): First report of a rare parasitic infection in horses

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract We reported for the first time a confirmed case of equine fasciolosis in the Community of Madrid (Spain). Here, we described the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and treatment of the affected horse, as well as the seroprevalence of Fasciola hepatica in the equestrian centre where it was detected.

Welfare of beef cattle

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This Scientific Opinion provides an assessment of beef cattle welfare focusing on risks related to flooring, water access, nutrition and feeding, high environmental temperatures, lack of environmental enrichment, lack of outdoor access, minimum space allowance and mixing practices. In addition, risks related to pasture and feedlots, weaning of

Stream Invertebrate Responses to Fine Sediment Depend on the Organic and Inorganic Components

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Excess fine sediment ( < 2 mm) is a pervasive stressor of aquatic systems at a global scale. To date, most research quantifying ecological response to deposited fine sediment has been conducted without distinguishing between the organic and inorganic components of fine sediment, leaving mechanistic understanding of how fine sediment affects ...

New additions to the freshwater gastropod fauna (Gastropoda:  Hydrobiidae, Lymnaeidae) of Morocco

Ecologica Montenegrina, 2020
In this paper, we provide new additions to the freshwater gastropod fauna of Morocco. Pseudamnicola luteola (Küster, 1852) and the recently described Mercuria gauthieri Glöer, Bouzid & Boeters, 2010 are recorded for the first time in the country and the presence of Ecrobia vitrea (Risso 1826) as well as Radix labiata (Rossmässler, 1835) are ...
