Bioinformatics‐Driven Design of Fusion Recombinant Protein (EgFABP1‐EgTeg) for Enhanced Immunodiagnosis of Hydatid Cysts

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hydatid cyst disease is caused by the parasite Echinococcus and poses significant health concerns worldwide. Due to the lack of early symptoms and limited diagnostic tools, researchers aim to design a more specific and sensitive antigen. The study focuses on developing a recombinant multi‐epitope antigen using two parasite proteins (

Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...
