Fossil constraints on the origin and evolution of Platyhelminthes are surprisingly concordant with modern molecular phylogenies [PDF]
Trace fossils preserved with fossil worm-shaped remains suggest the presence of free-living flatworms during the Ordovician at the latest and their occurrence in terrestrial environments during the Permian.

Substrate for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Biochemistry, Evolution, and Physiology
Two proposed sequence of events for thyroxine formation in patients expressing mutant thyroglobulin. (A) (1) TSH stimulation drives expression of misfolded TG. (2) Unremitting ER stress. (3) Stress‐induced cell death. (4) Dead thyrocytes release their contents. (5) The contents become iodinated. (6) Forming thyroxine.

Praziquantel: its use in control of schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa and current research needs [PDF]
Treatment with praziquantel (PZQ) has become virtually the sole basis of schistosomiasis control in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, and the drug is reviewed here in the context of the increasing rate that it is being used for this purpose. Attention is

Multilocus phylogenetic analyses reveal that habitat selection drives the speciation of Didymozoidae (Digenea) parasitizing Pacific and Atlantic bluefin tunas [PDF]
Parasite communities of wild and reared bluefin tuna display remarkable diversity. Among these, the most prevalent and abundant are the Didymozoidae (Monticelli, 1888) (Trematoda, Digenea), considered one of the most taxonomically complex digenean ...
