Declining Trends in Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections Among Nepalese School Children: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (2004–2022)

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis of 25 studies (17,628 children) shows a substantial decline in gastrointestinal parasitic infections in Nepal from 43.4% to 24.2% between 2004 and 2022. Helminths (20.0%) remained more common than protozoa (9.9%), with slightly higher prevalence in urban (29.0%) than rural areas (27.9%). ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal parasitic

Revisiting the Conservation Status of Cobitis taenia in Switzerland Using Environmental DNA

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater loaches of the genus Cobitis are small benthic fish inhabiting fine sediments in slow‐flowing rivers and vegetated lakes. Due to their small size, low economic value and inconspicuous behaviour, they are rarely studied, and their taxonomy and distribution remain poorly understood.

Comparative genomics reveals adaptive evolution of Asian tapeworm in switching to a new intermediate host

Nature Communications, 2016
Only one of the three Taenia species causing taeniasis in humans was previously sequenced. Here the authors provide draft genomes of Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica, analyse genome evolution of all three species, and identify potential targets for ...

Intestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Significance in Human and Domestic Animals in a Rural Setting in Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

The Microbiome Within a Microbe: Rethinking Blastocystis Biology

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Blastocystis spp., one of the most prevalent microeukaryotes in the human gut, has long puzzled researchers with its ambiguous role in health and disease. Decades‐old microscopy studies reported bacterial‐ and viral‐like particles within Blastocystis spp. cells, but these findings have been mainly overlooked.
