Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Factors Associated With Childhood Undernutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
Key child, household and hygiene factors—especially diarrhoea, low birthweight and low maternal education—significantly increase the risk of undernutrition, including stunting, underweight and wasting in young children across Sub‐Saharan Africa, underscoring the need for targeted interventions.

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Modelling vector and host distributions to inform potential disease risk: A case study of West Nile virus in the United Kingdom

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Correlative modelling approaches can be used successfully to predict the distribution of vectors and hosts involved in vector‐borne diseases of concern. For West Nile virus in the United Kingdom, host distributions are unlikely to be a significant factor influencing change. Vector distributions and urbanisation will drive increasing risk. Projecting to

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia aktasi in a wild bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus): Overlap with domestic goat strains

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first molecular detection of tick‐borne pathogens in Capra aegagrus. Genetic analysis reveals similarities between Babesia aktasi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains in bezoar and domestic goats, indicating potential pathogen exchange.

Ticks and tick‐borne bacterial pathogens found on hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on cattle in the Central River region of The Gambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
First detection of Ehrlichia minasensis, Anaplasma marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in cattle in The Gambia. Identification of four tick species, with Hyalomma marginatum being the most common. 15.6% of ticks tested positive for tick‐borne pathogens, including Ehrlichia spp., A. marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.
