Fascioliasis: An Ongoing Zoonotic Trematode Infection [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 Zoonotic trematode infections are an area of the neglected tropical diseases that have become of major interest to global and public health due to their associated morbidity. Human fascioliasis is a trematode zoonosis of interest in public health. It affects approximately 50 million people worldwide and over 180 million are at risk of infection in both

Larval trematodes infecting the South-American intertidal mud snail Heleobia australis (Rissooidea: Cochliopidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Larval trematodes infecting the snail Heleobia australis (Cochliopidae) from the Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina were surveyed for two years. A total of 7,504 snail specimens was dissected and the larval stages of 15 different trematodes were recovered ...

Thermodynamics of trematode infectivity
Parasitology, 2014 SUMMARY Temperature is an important factor influencing the biology of organisms and is intrinsically linked to climate change. The establishment of trematodes in target hosts is potentially susceptible to temperature changes effecting parasite infectivity or host susceptibility, and therefore in order to develop predictive frameworks of host ...

Rare inventory of trematode diversity in a protected natural reserve
Scientific Reports, 2021 In the face of ongoing habitat degradation and the biodiversity crisis, natural reserves are important refuges for wildlife. Since most free-living organisms serve as hosts to parasites, the diverse communities in protected areas can be expected to ...

Stunting of the penis in Heleobia parchappii (Mollusca: Cochliopidae) and its relationship with parasitism [PDF]
, 2017 Penis anatomy is used to discriminate species of gastropods belonging to the family Cochliopidae; however, this characteristic may be affected by the presence of parasites.

Can the studies at a spatial scale of 100s meters detect the spatiotemporal fluctuations of a parasite assemblage? [PDF]
, 2013 The importance of small-scale heterogeneity in local factors which overrides that of larger-scales factors, suggest that local factors play a major role in determining the richness and prevalence of larval digeneans in intertidal gastropods.

Oxfendazole flukicidal activity in pigs [PDF]
, 2014 Although oxfendazole (OFZ) is a well know broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic, the assessment of its potential trematodicidal activity remains unexplored.

Neuroparasitic Infections: Cestodes, Trematodes, and Protozoans [PDF]
Seminars in Neurology, 2005 Parasitic infection of the nervous system can produce a variety of symptoms and signs. Because symptoms of infection are often mild or nonspecific, diagnosis can be difficult. Familiarity with basic epidemiological characteristics and distinguishing radiographic findings can increase the likelihood of detection and proper treatment of parasitic ...

Differentiation of Schistosoma haematobium from related schistosomes by PCR amplifying an inter-repeat sequence. [PDF]
, 2007 Schistosoma haematobium infects nearly 150 million people, primarily in Africa, and is transmitted by select species of local bulinid snails. These snails can host other related trematode species as well, so that effective detection and monitoring of ...
