New data in France on the trematode Alaria alata (Goeze, 1792) obtained during Trichinella inspections

Parasite, 2011
The trematode Alaria alata is a cosmopolite parasite found in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), the main definitive host in Europe. In contrast only few data are reported in wild boars (Sus scrofa), a paratenic host.

Assessing allergenic potential, exposure and risk of Anisakis spp.

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue S1, December 2025.
Abstract Parasites in seafood are a recognised food safety concern worldwide. Anisakiasis is a human disease caused by ingestion of larvae of parasitic nematodes of the genus Anisakis, typically present in raw or undercooked seafood. It is considered a significant emerging foodborne disease and was recently ranked among the top 10 of 24 parasitic ...

Understanding the research and practical needs required to control toxocariasis in Iran

Parasite Epidemiology and Control
Human toxocariasis (HT) is a widespread zoonotic infection globally, notably prevalent in tropical areas. Enhancing our understanding of toxocariasis can lead to increased attention towards the socioeconomic impact and control of this neglected zoonosis.

The role of paratenic hosts in the life cycles of helminths

, 2008
Paratenic hosts, especially of nematodes, play a major role in spreading many parasite species. The phenomenon of „paratenic parasitism” is illustrated by examples of development of Syngamus trachea and Proteocephalus longicollis.
