Pathology and first report of natural infections of the eye trematode Philophthalmus lachrymosus Braun, 1902 (Digenea, Philophthalmidae) in a non-human mammalian host

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
The avian eye trematode Philophthalmus lachrymosus Braun, 1902 is for the first time referred naturally occurring in a non-human mammalian host. Previously, natural infections with P. lachrymosus and other species of Philophthalmus have been occasionally

Risk Factors and Coinfection Dynamics of Pathogens in Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) From Pennsylvania, USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We determined the associations and risk factors of infection by lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV), reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), three avian Mycoplasma species, and internal parasites in Pennsylvania wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). Active surveillance of parasites and pathogens was conducted over four years and four regions across ...

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity–Climate–Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco‐Evolutionary and One Health Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.

Extracellular Vesicle Properties and Functions Are Defined by the Originating Cell's Fitness Status

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have focused on the role of dying cells in modulating immune function and shaping the local microenvironment. Apoptotic cells release various extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, and form apoptotic bodies through membrane blebbing.

Crystal structure of Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin D1 in complex with a nanobody reveals the conformation of the propeptide‐bound state

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 140-150, February 2026.
Structural characterization of S. mansoni cathepsin D1 in complex with a nanobody reveals the conformation of the propeptide‐bound state and identifies a schistosome‐specific epitope.Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin D1 (SmCD1) has been shown to be an essential enzyme for helminth metabolism due to its role in haemoglobin degradation: a key amino‐acid ...

Phylogeography and genetics of the globally invasive snail Physa acuta Draparnaud 1805, and its potential to serve as an intermediate host to larval digenetic trematodes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Physa acuta is a globally invasive freshwater snail native to North America. Prior studies have led to conflicting views of how P. acuta populations are connected and genetic diversity is partitioned globally.

Does nocturnal light pollution impair immune function in a wild‐living amphibian?

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 311-322, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light pollution is among the most rapidly growing anthropogenic stressors on Earth. As it spreads far beyond its original source, it affects natural protected areas playing a key role in protecting biodiversity.
