Systematic Review of Parasite Diversity in Wild Freshwater Fishes and Their Host‐Locality Interactions in Türkiye

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review documented a taxonomically diverse parasite fauna of freshwater fishes across seven geographical regions of Türkiye, encompassing 11 phyla: Acanthocephala, Annelida, Arthropoda, Choanozoa, Ciliophora, Cnidaria, Euglenozoa, Mollusca, Myzozoa, Nematoda, and Platyhelminthes.

Chromatin from two classes of platyhelminthes display both protist H1 and higher eukaryote core histones [PDF]

, 2004
Histones from the parasitic platyhelminthes, Echinococcus granulosus and Fasciola hepatica, were systematically characterized. Core histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4, which were identified on the basis of amino acid sequencing and mass spectrometry data ...

Multiple records of tapeworm eggs from Permian coprolites and their palaeoparasitological significance

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The fossil record of intestinal parasites is a crucial aspect of understanding host-symbiont coevolution. This study reports two new types of eggs attributable to tapeworms in a Permian vertebrate coprolite from the Coproland outcrop, Brazil, expanding ...

Adaptation of Echinococcus Multilocularis to Oxidative Stress Depends on EmPDK‐Mediated Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 59, 23 October 2026.
Metabolic adaption presents a vital survival strategy for E. multilocularis. This study identifies EmPDK as a central metabolic regulator governing glucose metabolic reprogramming. Oxidative stress activates EmHIF1α to induce EmPDK expression. Mechanistic characterization reveals this ROS/EmHIF1α/EmPDK axis drives glycolytic reprogramming to sustain ...

Terrestrial planarians (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida: Terricola) predaceous on terrestrial gastropods

, 2004
[Extract] Triclads, also commonly known as flatworms or planarians, occur in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments. They form an order within the turbellarian or free-living Platyhelminthes. The Platyhelminthes form a large phylum containing up

Girardia festae (Borelli, 1898) (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida: Dugesiidae): distribution extension in a high-altitude lake from Colombia [PDF]

Check List, 2012
We revise the Neotropical distribution of Girardia festae (Platyhelminthes, Dugesiidae) following a new record in a Colombian high-altitude lake. G. festae is a freshwater planarian known mainly in the Andean Cordillera from Venezuela to Argentina.

Opportunistic Feeding and Parasite Assemblages in Sei Whales (Balaenoptera borealis) From Southern Chile Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study represents the first metabarcoding‐based description of prey composition and parasite‐associated taxa in stranded sei whales from southern South America. ABSTRACT Balaenopterid whales are major consumers in pelagic ecosystems and play a fundamental role in marine food webs.
