Shoaling with infected conspecifics does not improve resistance to trematode infection [PDF]

Ethology, 2018
AbstractGroup‐living animals can gain protection against parasitic infections through social contacts with previously infected conspecifics (social immunization). Recent research suggests that such protective effects can be induced through visual or chemical cues released by infected individuals, resulting in anticipatory immune upregulation among ...

The Dead Do Tell Tales: Using Pathology Data From Cetacean Necropsy Reports to Gain Insights Into Animal Health

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Assessing long‐term health in wildlife populations remains challenging, especially for cetaceans, whose mobility and cryptic behaviour limit traditional assessments based solely on body condition. By analysing 349 necropsy records of harbour porpoises stranded along the Scottish coastline, we created a structured pathology database and applied machine ...

Equine fasciolosis due to Fasciola hepatica in the Community of Madrid (Spain): First report of a rare parasitic infection in horses

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract We reported for the first time a confirmed case of equine fasciolosis in the Community of Madrid (Spain). Here, we described the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and treatment of the affected horse, as well as the seroprevalence of Fasciola hepatica in the equestrian centre where it was detected.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Triosephosphate isomerase from Fasciola hepatica: high‐resolution crystal structure as a drug target

Acta Crystallographica Section F, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 381-387, September 2025.
The high‐resolution crystal structure of triosephosphate isomerase from F. hepatica was solved at 1.51 Å resolution in its monoclinic form, revealing details of the dimer interface critical for enzyme function. Molecular docking with the fasciolocide triclabendazole suggests selective binding near nonconserved residues, highlighting this enzyme as a ...

Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.

Temperature Variability and Salt Pollution Interact to Alter Subsequent Multi‐Parasite Susceptibility in Larval Amphibians

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Wild populations face unprecedented pressure from an assortment of anthropogenic environmental changes and parasites. We sought to understand how host–parasite interactions are affected by the interactive effects of multiple environmental stressors and subsequent parasite infection.

Pharmacological Inhibition of c‐Jun N‐Terminal Kinase Activity Exacerbates Liver Damage in Schistosoma mansoni Infected Mice

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting more than 250 million people worldwide. Eggs of the parasitic helminth S. mansoni cause major morbidity in the liver, spleen and intestine. Of note, egg‐released soluble antigens (SEA) induce the transcription factor c‐Jun in hepatocytes, promoting hepatocellular ...

Fate by Infection: Quantifying Host Behavioral Changes in Response to Four Variables of Trematode Infection [PDF]

, 2013
Although the importance of host-parasite interactions is increasingly recognized, few studies examine factors regulating how infection alters host behavior and the consequences of parasite-induced behavioral changes for predation risk.
