A large‐scale epidemiological investigation on trematode infections in small ruminants in Bangladesh [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2022
Background The important trematode species in small ruminants: Paramphistomum sp., Fasciola spp. and Schistosoma spp. seriously affect the productivity of domestic ruminants in endemic areas. Methods In the present study, we identified the potential risk

Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex Trematode Infections in Children, Bihar, India [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Eating raw or insufficiently cooked mollusks is a known risk factor for human echinostomiasis. We confirmed identification of Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex trematodes as the causative agent of disease among 170 children in northern Bihar, India.

Molecular insights into seasonal trematode infections in Bithynia Snails: host lineages, parasite diversity, and Opisthorchis viverrini susceptibility in southern Lao PDR [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Health
Background Opisthorchiasis, caused by Opisthorchis viverrini, is a major public health concern in Southeast Asia. Despite control programs, O. viverrini infection persists and contributes to severe liver diseases, including cholangiocarcinoma. This study

Ileal proteomic changes associated with IL-25-mediated resistance against intestinal trematode infections [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Echinostoma caproni (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) is an intestinal trematode, which has been extensively used to investigate the factors that determine the rejection of intestinal helminths. In this sense, several studies have shown that IL-25

Pathological and Epidemiological Assessment of Trematode Burden in Ruminants From Central Ethiopia [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Trematode infections in ruminants cause major economic losses through reduced productivity and liver condemnation, with their epidemiology closely linked to snail habitats, rainfall patterns, and poor grazing management.

Trematode Infection Prevalence Increases With Snail Richness: Observations From a 4‐Year Study of Snail–Trematode Interactions [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Digenetic trematodes are valuable study organisms for exploring how biodiversity influences disease. In this study, we investigated the relationship between snail richness and trematode infection prevalence using data from a 4‐year study (2019–2022) of ...

Fasciola Metacercaria Contamination in Wetland Pastures and Its Association With Forage Characteristics Across Agro-Ecological Zones: Case of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
In Ethiopia's Gamo Zone, we found that highly palatable, protein‐rich forage species in wetlands carry the highest burden of Fasciola metacercariae. This creates a direct conflict between livestock nutrition and health, demanding integrated management strategies to mitigate disease risk.

Matrix-Dependent Sensitivity of Two Pan-Trematode PCR Assays for Detecting Schistosoma spp. in Clinical Human Samples [PDF]

Infectious Disease Reports
Background: Schistosoma spp. are trematodes occurring in tropical endemic areas but can be imported to non-endemic regions as causes of travel-associated infections.
