Zoonotic risks in urban areas: Prevalence of helminth parasites in urban populations of Lissachatina fulica in Sarawak, Malaysia

open access: yesVeterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background The giant African land snail (Lissachatina fulica), an invasive species with significant medical, agricultural and economic importance, is abundant in urban areas of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The proximity between humans and the snail may increase the risk of pathogen transmission.

Infectious Diseases Management in Small‐Scale Freshwater Aquaculture in West Africa: Lessons for Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to food security, small‐scale livelihoods and the sustainability of aquaculture in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). In sub‐Saharan Africa, aquaculture is expanding rapidly but production systems often remain fragile.

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

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 ...

Salt in the Wound: Assessing Pathogen Susceptibility in Amphibian Populations Across a Gradient of Salt Pollution

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The survival function of nine larval wood frog populations and their viral loads when exposed to FV3. The populations were collected as eggs from a range of salt‐polluted ponds. Viral load data are means ±1 SE. The populations are ordered in terms of the saltiness of their natal ponds.

The Schistosoma mansoni Cytochrome P450 (CYP3050A1) Is Essential for Worm Survival and Egg Development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Schistosomiasis affects millions of people in developing countries and is responsible for more than 200,000 deaths annually. Because of toxicity and limited spectrum of activity of alternatives, there is effectively only one drug, praziquantel, available

Leaf Litter Leachate Limits Fungal Pathogen Growth but Not Amphibian Infection

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Terrestrial leaf litter can have direct effects on aquatic organisms. We found that leaf litter leachates can have direct negative effects on a fungal amphibian pathogen (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), but these effects did not translate to large changes in infection.
