First spermatological data on the digenean genus Ityogonimus derived from the description of sperm characters of Ityogonimus ocreatus (Brachylaimidae: Ityogoniminae) [PDF]
The present study describes the ultrastructural organization of the spermatozoa of the brachylaimid digenean Ityogonimus ocreatus (Ityogoniminae) by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Ultrastructure of digenean trematode eggs (Platyhelminthes: Neoophora): A review emphasizing new comparative data on four European Microphalloidea [PDF]
Despite their tremendous diversity and their medical and veterinary importance, details of egg ultrastructure among the digenean trematodes has been studied rather little.

Molecular phylogenetic position of Haplometroides intercaecalis (Digenea, Plagiorchiidae)
Abstract Three valid species of Haplometroides Odhner, 1910 parasitise snakes and amphisbaenians from South America. This study provides additional data on morphometric and molecular phylogenetic position inferred from the nuclear ribosomal gene 28S (partial). DNA sequences were isolated from Haplometroides intercaecalis Silva, Ferreira and Strüssmann,

Harnessing the Helminth Secretome for Therapeutic Immunomodulators
Helminths are the largest and most complex pathogens to invade and live within the human body. Since they are not able to outpace the immune system by rapid antigen variation or faster cell division or retreat into protective niches not accessible to immune effector mechanisms, their long‐term survival depends on influencing and regulating the immune ...

Ectoparasites and endo-helminths from pigs in Abakaliki and Izzi Local Government areas, Ebonyi State, Nigeria [PDF]
Parasitism affects output in pig production and introduces high risks of diseases. This study investigated ectoparasites and endo-helminths of pigs in Abakaliki and Izzi Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ebonyi State, Nigeria. One hundred and sixty eight (

Intertidal infaunal community data are obtained via: (1) morphological identification of macroinvertebrates from sediment cores, (2) cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA metabarcoding of the same pooled macroinvertebrate specimens, and (3) 18S ribosomal RNA (18S) DNA metabarcoding of benthic meiofauna from small volume sediment surface scrapes.

New record of Haplometroides intercaecalis (Digenea, Plagiorchiidae) infecting a Brazilian snake [PDF]
Phalotris matogrossensis (Serpentes, Colubridae) was reported as a new host for Haplometroides intercaecalis (Digenea, Plagiorchiidae). The host snake was obtained from the municipality of Anastácio, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. One specimen of H.

Introduction: Sticholecitha serpentis is a poorly studied parasite of the snakes’ esophagus, with an unclear taxonomy. Currently, there are few records of S. serpentis in snakes in Brazil. Although it has been recorded in snakes of the family Viperidae, it has not yet been reported in Bothrops atrox. Objectives: To present new morphological characters,
