Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

PD‐L2 Inhibits Protective Immunity, Th2 Cell Functional Quality, and GATA‐3 Expression During Filarial Nematode Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
During filarial nematode infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, PD‐L2 down‐regulates Th2 cell expression of GATA‐3 and Th2 cytokines and enables parasite survival. Concurrently, B cells suppress protective immunity through a mechanism that does not involve PD‐L2.

The Impact of Memory Effects on Lymphatic Filariasis Transmission Using Incidence Data From Ghana

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Modeling Lymphatic Filariasis by incorporating disease awareness through fractional derivative operators. ABSTRACT Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by a parasitic worm transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. In this study, a mathematical model is developed using the Caputo fractional operator.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Dirofilaria immitis in Two Cats From Italy

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Feline dirofilariosis is infrequent, and diagnosis may be overlooked. This study reports two cases of Dirofilaria immitis infections in cats from Central‐Northern Italy, diagnosed by both direct (antigenic test, molecular analyses) and indirect detection methods (indirect ELISA), as well as by imaging investigations (i.e., thoracic radiography and ...

Prevalence of vector‐borne pathogens Ehrlichia canis, Babesia spp. and Dirofilaria immitis in dogs in Townsville, far north Queensland

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 7, Page 430-432, July 2025.
Ehrlichia canis, Babesia spp. and Dirofilaria immitis are blood‐borne pathogens transmitted to dogs by arthropods. The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of E. canis, Babesia spp. and D. immitis in domestic dogs, aged 6 months or older, in Townsville, in far north Queensland, Australia.
