Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 104-115, January 2026.ABSTRACT The ongoing invasion of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis threatens humans, other mammals, and birds. In Mallorca, neurological disorders associated with this parasite are increasingly reported in free‐living Algerian hedgehogs, Atelerix algirus, raising public health concerns.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Wildlife health assessments offer critical insights in applied ecological research, but their interpretation is often limited by missing complementary data. There is heightened need for such data for European harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina) given their recent population decline.

Bovine Lungworm: Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors in Haramaya Town, Ethiopia
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Lungworm infection, caused by a nematode parasite, leads to bronchitis or pneumonia, high‐mortality rates in cattle, and significant economic losses. Objectives This study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of bovine lungworm and identify potential risk factors in Haramaya town, Ethiopia. Methods A cross‐sectional study design was employed

Moose Survival and Habitat‐Associated Risk of Endoparasites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We observed high rates of adult and calf moose survival in New York State, with mortality primarily due to disease associated with giant liver fluke infections. Calf mortality risk increased with increasing use of wetlands, where they can acquire giant liver fluke infections, and decreased with higher amounts of nutritional energy available.

Local lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep
, 2006 Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments.

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
