Intestinal Nematode Infection Confers a Benefit to a Non‐Declining Frog Species, While a Fungal Parasitic Infection Has Sublethal Impacts on Reproductive Investment

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Understanding the impacts of disease even in non‐declining populations is important for understanding population level health and resilience to other emerging threats. In this study we explored the impacts of co‐infection of the fungal pathogen and a novel nematode parasite on a common Australian frog species. We found that this novel nematode actually

Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Marine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.

Hyperkalaemia secondary to suspected transient hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism in a dog (in a dog)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract A 12‐year‐7‐month‐old, female, entire beagle dog was presented to a referral hospital in England for a 10‐day history of tachypnoea and lethargy. Angiostrongylus vasorum ELISA test was positive, and the patient was started on fenbendazole. One week later, it became lethargic, anorexic, polyuric and polydipsic, and it was diagnosed with an open

Why are our roe deer short of breath? – prevalence and promotive factors of lung parasites in roe deer Capreolus capreolus in south‐eastern Germany

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
The existence of bronchopulmonary nematodes in German roe deer Capreolus capreolus is well documented, with two types of lung parasites that have been described previously: Dictyocaulus capreolus and Varestrongylus capreoli. However, little is known about the impact of these parasites on their host animal or which parameters influence outbreak and ...

Neuroangiostrongyliasis Infection Risk Near Preschool Centres in Mallorca, Spain: A Pilot Micro‐Epidemiological Study

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 6, Page 515-522, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neuroangiostrongyliasis, caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis , is a globally emerging zoonosis, with Spain being the only endemic country in Europe. Human infection occurs through ingestion of gastropods or paratenic hosts carrying third‐stage larvae, often leading to eosinophilic meningoencephalitis.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis Meningo‐Encephalitis in Children—Heightened Awareness Needed During Prolonged Wet Weather Conditions

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 472-481, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the leading cause of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, is well established in eastern Australia. Prolonged wet weather in Queensland during 2021–2022 coincided with anecdotal reports of increased neuroangiostrongyliasis cases, prompting an evaluation of paediatric cases from 2013 to 2022.
