Evolution of Toxoplasma gondii Detection and Genotyping Methods

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan that was first described over 100 years ago. Since then, its presence has been confirmed in a wide range of hosts, including humans. T. gondii infections are estimated to affect approximately 30% of the human population, representing a particular hazard to pregnant women, the elderly and immunocompromised ...

Polyparasitism and Anaemia Among Women of Reproductive Age in Kilifi County—Kenya

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Polyparasitism is commonly associated with Plasmodium species, Schistosoma species and soil‐transmitted helminths. Anaemia results from a variety of causes, including parasitic infections. Women of reproductive age (WRA) and children below the age of five are disproportionately affected by polyparasitic infections, putting them at risk of ...

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Microbiological safety of ungulates meat intended to be frozen and defrosting of frozen ungulates meat

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Based on the need for a scientific basis for existing requirements in EU legislation on freezing of meat or for its possible amendment, the opinion compares microbial growth of relevant pathogenic, spoilage and indicator microorganisms within five scenarios of chilling, storage and defrosting of bovine, ovine and porcine meat, using predictive

Validation of a new commercial serine protease artificial digestion assay for the detection of Trichinella larvae in pork

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2018
Trichinella is a zoonotic nematode parasite transmitted by the ingestion of raw or under-cooked meat. Control of the parasite is essential to facilitate public health and trade in products from susceptible food animals, including pork and horse meat. The
