Expanded genome-wide comparisons give novel insights into population structure and genetic heterogeneity of Leishmania tropica complex.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Leishmania tropica is one of the main causative agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Population structures of L. tropica appear to be genetically highly diverse. However, the relationship between L.

Confirmation of Galba truncatula as an intermediate host snail for Calicophoron daubneyi in Great Britain, with evidence of alternative snail species hosting Fasciola hepatica

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Fasciola hepatica is a highly prevalent parasite infecting livestock in Great Britain, while Calicophoron daubneyi is an emerging parasite within the GB livestock industry. Both F. hepatica and C. daubneyi require an intermediate host snail to

Vector-borne parasites in dogs from Ukraine translocated to Poland following Russian invasion in 2022

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2023
Introduction Since 24 February 2022, the day the Russian aggression against Ukraine began, millions of refugees and thousands of pets crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border. Additionally, an unknown number of shelter and stray dogs and cats were rescued and

Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Denmark

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019
Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of worldwide importance. In this study, we estimated T. gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars in Denmark, where little is known about T. gondii in animal hosts.

Discovery of Early-Branching Wolbachia Reveals Functional Enrichment on Horizontally Transferred Genes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Wolbachia is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and filarial nematodes that profoundly influences host biology. Wolbachia has also been reported in rhizosphere hosts, where its diversity and function remain poorly characterized.

Biogeographical patterns of endolithic infestation in an invasive and an indigenous intertidal marine ecosystem engineer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
By altering the phenotypic properties of their hosts, endolithic parasites can modulate the engineering processes of marine ecosystem engineers. Here, we assessed the biogeographical patterns of species assemblages, prevalence and impact of endolithic ...

Host and parasite morphology influence congruence between host and parasite phylogenies

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology, 2018
Comparisons of host and parasite phylogenies often show varying degrees of phylogenetic congruence. However, few studies have rigorously explored the factors driving this variation. Multiple factors such as host or parasite morphology may govern the degree of phylogenetic congruence.
