Very low prevalence of Opisthorchis viverrini s.l. cercariae in Bithynia siamensis siamensis snails from the canal network system in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Thailand

Parasite, 2021
The liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini s.l. is associated with a long-term public health problem in Thailand. However, O. viverrini s.l. infection in Bithynia snails in the canal network system (CNS) in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR) has never ...

Association of comorbidity between Opisthorchis viverrini infection and diabetes mellitus in the development of cholangiocarcinoma among a high-risk population, northeastern Thailand.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a category of lethal hepatobiliary malignancies. Previous studies have found that Opisthorchis viverrini infection and diabetes mellitus (DM) are closely correlated with CCA.

Selective Packaging of miR‐22 and miR‐29 Orthologues into Extracellular Vesicles of the Porcine Whipworm Trichuris Suis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Helminths modulate host immunity, and in this respect, the porcine whipworm Trichuris suis has been explored clinically as an immunotherapy for inflammatory diseases. T. suis secretes a complex mixture of excretory/secretory products (ESP), including extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanosized membranous particles with bioactive cargoes of lipids,

Aosta Valley animal cancer registry: A collaborative initiative for monitoring cancer burden in animals

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background Animal cancer registry data are important for monitoring animal health, for prevention and research in veterinary medicine, and for comparative oncology. Since people and animals share the same environment and are exposed to many common risk factors, cancer patterns in animals may have a sentinel function for human health.

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Incidence and Mortality Risks of Gastrointestinal Cancers During Working‐Age Period: Trends and Disparities in 204 Countries and Territories (1990–2021)

Med Research, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 58-74, March 2026.
This comprehensive analysis of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer risk reveals that globally, one in 46 people will develop and one in 73 will die from GI cancers during working age (15–64 years), with 2021 incidence and mortality risks of 2.19% and 1.37%, respectively. Key findings demonstrate striking gender disparities, with males facing nearly double the

Differential plasma proteomes of the patients with Opisthorchiasis viverrini and cholangiocarcinoma identify a polymeric immunoglobulin receptor as a potential biomarker

Heliyon, 2022
In Southeast Asian countries, nitrosamine compounds and the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini have long been identified as carcinogens for cholangiocarcinoma (CHCA). In order to effectively treat O.

Right Anterior Sectionectomy for Hepatic Helminthic Infection Mimicking Cholangiocarcinoma: A Case Report

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We present the case of a patient with an unexpected pathological finding of degenerate roundworm infection on histology for a liver resection for presumed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Helminthic infection of the liver is uncommon in developed and metropolitan regions and this patient had no risk factors for such.
