Known allergen structures predict Schistosoma mansoni IgE binding antigens in human infection
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 The IgE response has been associated with both allergic reactions and immunity to metazoan parasites. Recently we hypothesized that all environmental allergens bear structural homology to IgE binding antigens from metazoan parasites and that this ...

Wild cane toads (Rhinella marina) expel foreign matter from the coelom via the urinary bladder in response to internal injury, endoparasites and disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Dissections of >1,200 wild-caught cane toads (Rhinella marina) in tropical Australia confirm a laboratory report that anurans can expel foreign objects from the coelom by incorporating them into the urinary bladder.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT Natural history collections are unparalleled archives of global biodiversity, yet most specimens remain molecularly uncharacterised due to the technical challenges of historical DNA (hDNA), including degradation, low endogenous content and contamination.

Cysteine proteases during larval migration and development of helminths in their final host. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Neglected tropical diseases caused by metazoan parasites are major public health concerns, and therefore, new methods for their control and elimination are needed.

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

Unifying Retaria Research: A Common Framework for Studying Foraminifera and Radiolaria
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 6, June 2026.Research on Foraminifera and Radiolaria has predominantly focused on their fossil remains. This synthesis identifies the “Big Five” disciplines of a unified Retaria research: diversity and evolution, ecology, life cycles, and ecosystem roles, highlighting this lineage as a model system for understanding life's resilience in a rapidly changing planet ...

Metazoan parasites of the jack mackerel
, 2014 The metazoa parasite fauna of the jack mackerel Trachurus murphyi Nichols 1920, obtained from seven ports from a latitudinal gradient of more than 30° (From Paita Peru: 05° 10' S to Talcahuano, Chile 36° 40' S) was quantitatively described. 21 species of

Long‐term trends in parasite diversity and infection levels: approaches and patterns
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1120-1142, June 2026.ABSTRACT Parasites exist in every ecosystem, affecting nearly all organisms and playing a complex role in human societies. On the one hand, they contribute substantially to biodiversity and support ecosystem stability by performing essential ecological functions.

Comparisons of Allergenic and Metazoan Parasite Proteins: Allergy the Price of Immunity [PDF]
PLOS Computational Biology, 2015 Allergic reactions can be considered as maladaptive IgE immune responses towards environmental antigens. Intriguingly, these mechanisms are observed to be very similar to those implicated in the acquisition of an important degree of immunity against metazoan parasites (helminths and arthropods) in mammalian hosts.

The metazoan parasites of swordfish from Atlantic tropical-equatorial waters
, 2008 The metazoan parasite fauna composition of the swordfish Xiphias gladius is reported from 145 (72 females and 73 males) specimens caught in Atlantic tropical-equatorial waters during June to July 2006 and August 2007.
