Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiomes in Parasitic Roundworms Reveals Phylogeny‐Associated Community Structure and Functional Adaptation

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Roundworm nematodes are globally distributed zoonotic parasites that inhabit the intestinal tract of various mammals. Although these parasites reside in the host’s guts, their own intestinal ecosystems remain poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that helminths may harbor distinct gut microbiomes that contribute to their physiology and host ...

Impact of the 2014–2016 El Niño on Geohelminth Control in Stray Dogs and Cats Without Anthelmintic Treatment

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Soil‐transmitted helminthiases (STHs) in stray dogs and cats, including hookworm infection, strongyloidiasis, and toxocariasis, are prevalent globally. The lack of STH control in these stray animals leads to an increased prevalence of STHs in southern Thailand. Suddenly, the El Niño 2014–2016 induced a 14‐month‐long drought. We thus aimed to
