Helminth and intestinal protozoa infections, multiparasitism and risk factors in Champasack province, Lao People's Democratic Republic.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BackgroundDetailed investigations of multiparasitism are scarce in the Mekong River basin. We assessed helminth (trematode, nematode, and cestode), and intestinal protozoa infections, and multiparasitism in random population samples from three different ...

Schistosoma Species and Hybrid Genotyping With a Field Deployable Multi‐Marker Amplicon Panel

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Schistosomes are parasitic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, responsible for causing urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis. Six primary species infect humans: S. mansoni, S. japonicum, S. mekongi, S. intercalatum, S. guineensis, and S. haematobium. In addition, several species including S. bovis, S. curassoni, and S.

Fascioliasis: An Ongoing Zoonotic Trematode Infection [PDF]

open access: yesBioMed 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

Estimating trematode prevalence in snail hosts using a single-step duplex PCR: how badly does cercarial shedding underestimate infection rates?

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Trematode communities often consist of different species exploiting the same host population, with two or more trematodes sometimes co-occuring in the same host. A commonly used diagnostic method to detect larval trematode infections in snails

Habitat of in vivo transformation influences the levels of free radical scavengers in Clinostomum complanatum: implications for free radical scavenger based vaccines against trematode infections.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundSince free radical scavengers of parasite origin like glutathione-S-transferase and superoxide dismutase are being explored as prospective vaccine targets, availability of these molecules within the parasite infecting different hosts as well as

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Anurans as Intermediate and Paratenic Hosts of Helminth Infections in the Rainforest and Derived Savanna Biotopes of Southern Nigeria

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, 2012
Anurans from the rainforest (Okomu National Park) and derived savanna (Agbede) locations in Nigeria were investigated for their role either as intermediate or paratenic hosts of helminth infections.

High prevalence of zoonotic trematodes in roach (Rutilus rutilus) in the Gulf of Finland

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2017
The intention to increase roach (Rutilus rutilus) consumption is in focus for ecological and economic reasons in Finland. However, its safety as food has not been considered comprehensively.

Global distribution and contexts of interactions between humans and non‐human primates: A systematic review

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 551-568, March 2026.
Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 585-598, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like ...
