Metabarcoding of Broad‐Diet Nototheniid Fish Stomachs Reveals Newly Detected Antarctic Parasite Signals and Potential Host Associations

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Using 18S rDNA metabarcoding of stomach contents from two Antarctic nototheniid fishes, we detected 242 parasite OTUs. Protists dominated diversity, metazoans dominated abundance, and depth structured assemblages. Novel parasite–host associations and previously unreported pathogenic protists highlight fish metabarcoding as a tool for biodiversity and ...

Seasonal changes in infection with trematode species utilizing jellyfish as hosts: evidence of transmission to definitive host fish via medusivory

Parasite, 2016
In the Seto Inland Sea of western Japan, metacercariae of three species of trematodes, Lepotrema clavatum Ozaki, 1932, Cephalolepidapedon saba Yamaguti, 1970, and Opechona olssoni (Yamaguti, 1934), were found in the mesoglea of the jellyfish Aurelia ...

Rat and fish peripheral blood leukocytes respond distinctively to Anisakis pegreffii (Nematoda, Anisakidae) crude extract

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Infective third-stage larvae (L3) of the marine nematode Anisakis pegreffii cause inflammation and clinical symptoms in humans, their accidental host, that subside and self-resolve in a couple of weeks after L3 die.

Sensitive Detection of Foodborne Parasitic Larvae Using a Sieving–qPCR Workflow: Application to Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Contaminated food and water represent potential infection sources of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a parasitic nematode with significant zoonotic potential. Limited environmental surveillance may be due to the absence of simple and reliable screening methods. Different methods of A.

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

The Battle of Helminths Deep: Molecular Insights Into Oegopsid Squid Parasites in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Cephalopods play crucial roles in marine ecosystems due to their diverse and indispensable contributions to trophic webs. However, parasitological research on cephalopods remains limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), despite the commercial significance of certain squid species and the zoonotic potential of the parasites within them. This study aimed to

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...
