The Frequency of Intestinal Parasitic Infections in COVID‐19 Patients: A Case‐Control Study in Tehran, Capital of Iran

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The present study was done to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) in patients with COVID‐19 in health care centers (Imam Reza and Golestan hospitals), Tehran, capital of Iran. By designing a matched case‐control study, 200 fecal samples were collected for each of the COVID‐19 patients and healthy individuals ...

Genomic analysis of a parasite invasion: Colonization of the Americas by the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 2242-2263, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Schistosoma mansoni, a snail‐borne, blood fluke that infects humans, was introduced into the Americas from Africa during the Trans‐Atlantic slave trade. As this parasite shows strong specificity to the snail intermediate host, we expected that adaptation to South American Biomphalaria spp.

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

Cellular distribution of a feminizing microsporidian parasite: a strategy for transovarial transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The cellular distribution of a vertically transmitted, feminizing microsporidian was followed in its host Gammarus duebeni. In adult females the parasite was restricted to gonadal tissue, in particular primary and secondary follicle cells.

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.
