Fasciola Metacercaria Contamination in Wetland Pastures and Its Association With Forage Characteristics Across Agro-Ecological Zones: Case of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
In Ethiopia's Gamo Zone, we found that highly palatable, protein‐rich forage species in wetlands carry the highest burden of Fasciola metacercariae. This creates a direct conflict between livestock nutrition and health, demanding integrated management strategies to mitigate disease risk.

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Does the Infestation by Trematode Parasites Influence Trade-Offs Between Somatic Condition and Male Reproductive Traits in a Viviparous Fish? [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Life history theory predicts that a trade‐off may occur when an increased investment in one fitness component causes a reduced investment in another. Parasites generate changes in the optimal life history traits of organisms, causing compromises for their hosts. The objective of this research was to determine whether trematodes Clinostomum sp.

Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Public Awareness of Internal Helminthes in Commercial Fish of Lake Chamo, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Fish is a vital source of food, employment, trade, and economic well‐being for people. But, it is hindered by a variety of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and most commonly parasites. The impact and public health importance of parasitic helminthes in fish which cause devaluation, retarded growth, morbidity, and mortality have not been ...

Ecological, Molecular, Histopathological and Public Health Implications of Zoonotic Metacercariae Clinostomum complanatum (Rudolphi, 1814) in the Endemic Anatolian Fish, Alburnus escherichii. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
• Clinostomum complanatum metacercariae, which has been reported in 23 fish species worldwide and 12 in Türkiye to date, continues to infect local and endemic fish species and will persist in the future. • Considering that Alburnus escherichii and other fish species in which this parasite has been recorded in Türkiye are used in traditional local ...

Spontaneous Pneumothorax Secondary to Pulmonary Paragonimiasis: A Case Report Highlighting Diagnostic Delay in Eastern Nepal. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Here we present a 48‐year‐old farmer diagnosed with pleuropulmonary paragonimiasis complicated by spontaneous pneumothorax. This case highlights the diagnostic dilemmas posed and stresses the inclusion of parasitic diseases in the differential diagnosis, especially in resource‐poor settings and tuberculosis‐endemic countries, thus avoiding anti ...

Diplostomum-Induced Sac Formation in Lenses of Ameiurus Bullheads: A Host Defence Response? [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Trematodes of the genus Diplostomum (Diplostomidae) are widely distributed and significant fish pathogens known for causing a range of negative effects. Any mechanism that protects the host from the parasite thus represents an evolutionary advantage.

Submissions of diagnostic samples of two critically endangered species of handfish (Branchionichthys hirsutus and Thymichthys politus) from a public aquarium from 2018 to 2024. [PDF]

J Fish Dis
Abstract Handfish (Family Brachionichthyidae) is the most threatened marine teleost fish family, however, there is little information on handfish health. We reviewed the results of submissions of mortalities from captive and captive bred spotted handfish (Branchionichthys hirsutus (Lacepède, 1804)) and red handfish (Thymichthys politus (Richardson ...
