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.

Competent Non-Native Alternative Host Reduces Infection Success in a Generalist Parasite. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we experimentally assessed how the addition of a non‐native alternative host affects the infection success of the larval generalist trematode, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, in fish intermediate hosts. Our results demonstrate that the presence of alternative hosts, especially the non‐native ones, can reduce parasite transmission through ...

Paragonimiasis Following Ingestion of Frozen Freshwater Crab: Two Case Reports. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Paragonimiasis is a zoonotic trematode infection acquired through ingestion of freshwater crustaceans or raw game meat. Here, we report two patients (a couple) who developed paragonimiasis after consuming previously frozen freshwater crabs together at the same restaurant in Tokyo.

Pulmonary Paragonimiasis Presenting as Pneumothorax, Hemoptysis, and Severe Eosinophilia: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Paragonimiasis is a foodborne zoonosis transmitted mostly by the consumption of inadequately cooked crabs and crayfish harboring Paragonimus metacercariae. We present the case of a 38‐year‐old male with a history of crab ingestion who developed severe eosinophilia, transaminitis, and serositis.

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

Morphological and molecular assessment of muscle metacercariae infecting tench Tinca tinca from fish farms and wild populations in Germany [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Fish can be infected with metacercariae (the final larval stage) of different species of potentially zoonotic digenetic trematodes (flukes). The fish-borne zoonotic trematodes thus compromise food safety and present a major threat for human health ...

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

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Aims Clinostomid metacercariae infect a wide range of freshwater fish species, posing a zoonotic risk to human health when consumed raw or undercooked, potentially leading to Halzoun disease.

Molecular confirmation of pearl formation in arctic mussels (Mytilus edulis) caused by Gymnophallus bursicola (Odhner 1900) metacercariae

Parasitology, 2023
In recent field studies, suspected gymnophallid metacercariae were histologically located in the mantle of mussels from the Norwegian Sea. Mussels from the sites in which that infection was detected also presented abnormally high pearl numbers.

COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE OS MÉTODOS DE EXTRAÇÃO DE METACERCÁRIAS DE ASCOCOTYLE SP (TREMATODA: DIGENEA) DOS TECIDOS DE MUGIL LIZA VALENCIENNES, 1836 (TELEOSTEI: MUGILIDAE)

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2014
The demand and consumption of fish and their derivatives has increased considerably in recent years. However, fish are ideal hosts of numerous parasites, highlighting the need to develop new research methodologies for its detection.

Metacercariae of Austrodiplostomum compactum (Lutz, 1928) (Trematoda, Diplostomidae) infecting the eyes of Plagioscion squamosissimus (Heckel, 1840) (Perciformes, Scienidae) from Lake Catalão, Amazonas, Brazil [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2017
Austrodiplostomum compactum is a digenetic trematode whith metacercariae that occur in the eyes of a wide variety of fish species. In Brazil, A. compactum metacercariae have been reported in many fish species, but there are only a few studies in the ...
