Postglacial Echoes: Parasite Genomics Uncover Environmental Changes in Postglacial European Lakes
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.ABSTRACT Postglacial environmental changes have influenced biodiversity and species evolution, yet the genomic and demographic responses of parasites remain underexplored. This study investigates the population genetics and demographic history of the flatworm Phyllodistomum umblae, a generalist trematode at the definitive host level infecting Coregonus

The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review
Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 6, Page 485-500, September 2025.ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans , in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

Schistosome-induced portacaval haemodynamic changes in Rattus rattus are associated with translocation of adult worms to the lungs [PDF]
, 1998 The presence of naturally portacaval shunts has been investigated in the vasculature of normal and Schistosoma mansoni-infected Rattus rattus. Using the technique of injecting Polystyrene microspheres in the superior mesenteric vein, we demonstrated that

Gastropod-Borne Helminths: A Look at the Snail-Parasite Interplay. [PDF]
, 2015 More than 300 million people suffer from a range of diseases caused by gastropod-borne helminths, predominantly flatworms and roundworms, whose life cycles are characterized by a diversified ecology and epidemiology. Despite the plethora of data on these

First occurrence of the eel parasite Paraquimperia tenerrima in lake Balaton, Hungary [PDF]
, 2006 The parasite fauna of the eel has been studied regularly since the first imported eels were introduced to Lake Balaton in 1963. Over a long period of time no important parasitic infections were recorded. However, the importance of nematode infections has

The most vagile host as the main determinant of population connectivity in marine macroparasites [PDF]
, 2014 Although molecular ecology of macroparasites is still in its infancy, general patterns are beginning to emerge, e.g. that the most vagile host in a complex life cycle is the main determinantof the population genetic structure of their parasites.
