Molecular Genetics of Hepatozoon canis With a Note on Effect of Parasite on the Complete Blood Count Profile of Canine Hosts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
A total of 654 blood samples were collected from healthy dogs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in Pakistan and screened for the presence of Hepatozoon canis. Genetic diversity of the detected H. canis DNA, infection‐associated risk factors, and changes in the complete blood count of the host due to parasitic activity were also evaluated.

Environment and Host Genetics Drive Infection Outcomes in a Butterfly Host, but Do Not Interact With Each Other

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study examined how host genetics and larval food plant environment influence parasite infection outcomes in monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) infected with the protozoan Ophryocystis elektroscirrha. We tested for genotype × environment interactions on infection status, infection burden, lifespan, and wing size.

Enemy release: loss of parasites in invasive freshwater bivalves Sinanodonta woodiana and Corbicula fluminea

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Seasonal Trends, Environmental Drivers, and Lessons Learned From the 2023 Cholera Outbreak in Chattogram, Bangladesh: A Descriptive Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Acute watery diarrhea (AWD) remains a major global public health problem, and cholera continues to cause substantial morbidity and mortality in settings with inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Chattogram, a coastal district of Bangladesh, is particularly vulnerable due to seasonal hydroclimatic changes ...

Poultry Coccidiosis in and Around Arba Minch, Southern Ethiopia: A Study Based on Coprological and Postmortem Findings

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Ethiopia has a large chicken population, but its economic contribution is limited by disease challenges, especially coccidiosis. Despite coccidiosis's economic and health impacts, there is a notable gap in detailed knowledge regarding the predominant Eimeria species, associated intestinal lesions, and distribution ...

A Mechanistic Review of Environmental Stressor to Decode Their Effect on Congenital Malformations: A Developmental Toxicity

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Environmental toxicants may disrupt developmental pathways via strong molecular docking interactions with hub FGF proteins (FGF9 and FGF4) like dibenzo‐p‐dioxin (−7.2 kcal/mol) at the ASN146 residue of FGF9, driving congenital malformations as revealed by PPI networks and toxicity profiling.

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

Lower Respiratory Microbiome Dysbiosis Is Associated With Poor Prognosis in Acute Severe Lower Respiratory Tract Infection

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Acute severe lower respiratory tract infection (asLRTI) present lower alpha‐diversity in lower respiratory tract microbiome (LRTM). Five clusters (C1–C5) were grouped, and cluster C3 was strongly associated with poor prognosis and reduced survival.
