Impact of helminth–microbiome interactions on childhood health and development—A clinical perspective

Parasite Immunology, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Humans have co‐existed with parasites for virtually the entirety of our existence as a species. Today, nearly one third of the human population is infected with at least one helminthic species, most of which reside in the intestinal tract, where they have co‐evolved alongside the human gut microbiota (GM).

Comparison of surveillance trapping methods to monitor Culicoides biting midge activity in Trinidad, West Indies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 456-468, December 2022., 2022
Study on a dairy goat farm compared three static trap designs with (a) UV light; (b) incandescent light or (c) semiochemical lure (no light). Sweep netting was used to define diel periodicity. Trap designs A and C collected significantly greater number of Culicoides specimens than trap B; trap C gained highest species richness despite no significant ...

Mosquito Magnet® traps as a potential means of monitoring blackflies of medical and veterinary importance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 646-651, December 2021., 2021
Mosquito Magnet traps for mosquitoes also caught blackflies, including species of veterinary importance. Most common species caught were Simulium equinum (causes ‘sweet itch’ in livestock), Simulium lineatum and Simulium ornatum s.l. (vector of Onchocerca linealis).
