Molluscicidal Activity of Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) and Camellia sinensis var. Assamica (Purple Tea) Extracts Against Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the Major Vector Snail of Human Schistosomiasis in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Freshwater pulmonate snails are prevalent across Kenya and act as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites, some of which are snail vectors for human schistosomiasis. Chemical molluscicides have rarely been used routinely in Kenya to control snails due to high costs of manufacture and the subsequent environmental concerns associated with their use ...

Genome‐Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms–Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

Cognitive Manifestations of Racemose Neurocysticercosis: A Two Case Report

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue S3, December 2025.
Abstract Background Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a central nervous system infection caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Taenia solium, endemic in Latin America and Asia. It can present as intraparenchymal or racemose (rNCC) forms, with symptoms including epilepsy, headaches, and intracranial hypertension.
