Stage-specific proteomes from onchocerca ochengi, sister species of the human river blindness parasite, uncover adaptations to a nodular lifestyle [PDF]

, 2016
Despite 40 years of control efforts, onchocerciasis (river blindness) remains one of the most important neglected tropical diseases, with 17 million people affected.

Plant‐Derived Treatments for Monogenean Parasites in Farmed Fish: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Monogeneans are among the most problematic ectoparasites in finfish aquaculture. Plant‐derived compounds have been widely explored as therapeutic agents, yet their efficacy and safety have not been quantitatively synthesized across studies. This study provides a meta‐analysis of plant‐based treatments against monogeneans, integrating 453 in ...

Getting Nervous: An Evolutionary Overhaul for Communication. [PDF]

, 2017
The evolution of a nervous system as a control system of the body's functions is a key innovation of animals. Its fundamental units are neurons, highly specialized cells dedicated to fast cell-cell communication.

From Nest Box to Neighborhood: Patterns of Island Biodiversity Characterized Through eDNA From Little Blue Penguin (Eudyptula minor) Nest Boxes

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
There are many environmental DNA (eDNA) sources within and around a seabird nest. These DNA traces from soil, plant material, feathers, feces, and other nest components enable detection of a wide range of taxa, including plants, fungi, insects, arachnids, mollusks, reptiles, and other vertebrates. Here, we used DNA from nest box feces to obtain signals

Development of a risk assessment framework to predict invasive species establishment for multiple taxonomic groups and vectors of introduction [PDF]

, 2016
A thorough assessment of aquatic nonindigenous species’ risk facilitates successful monitoring and prevention activities. However, species- and vector-specific information is often limited and difficult to synthesize across a single risk framework.

Conkazal‐M1 from the MKAVA family of conotoxins: A dual‐function protease inhibitor and neuroactive peptide

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.

Forecasting the Risk of Reinvasion by the Giant African Snail in Ogasawara, Japan

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study used SDMs constructed in multiple regions to predict the suitable habitats of Achatina fulica on Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands. The model constructed on another island with a wide distribution range showed the highest predictive accuracy.

Drivers of Microbiome Composition Among Helminth Parasites Sharing the Same Insectivorous Bat Host

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasitic metazoans are increasingly recognised to form close associations with microbial taxa. Under the holobiont concept, these associations are an eco‐evolutionary unit under joint selection. However, for most parasitic helminth species and particularly those associated with wildlife, these interactions and their effect on parasite ...

Kicking in the guts: Schistosoma mansoni digestive tract proteins are potential candidates for vaccine development

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Schistosomiasis is a debilitating disease that represents a major health problem in at least 74 tropical and subtropical countries. Current disease control strategies consist mainly of chemotherapy which cannot prevent recurrent re-infection of people ...

A Whole‐Genome Investigation of Mitonuclear Discordance in the Trematode Parasite Atriophallophorus winterbourni

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Faster evolution of mitochondrial genomes relative to nuclear genomes creates selective pressure on nuclear genes involved in mitochondrial function to preserve mitonuclear compatibility required for energy production. In isolated populations, such coevolution occurs independently.
