Dysbiosis and Therapeutic Modulation of the Gut Microbiota in Multiple Sclerosis: A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a persistent autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The etiology of MS is complex, involving a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Mounting evidence suggests that dysbiosis significantly impacts the progression of MS mainly through its direct effects upon the immune ...

Whipworm genome and dual-species transcriptome analyses provide molecular insights into an intimate host-parasite interaction [PDF]

, 2014
Whipworms are common soil-transmitted helminths that cause debilitating chronic infections in man. These nematodes are only distantly related to Caenorhabditis elegans and have evolved to occupy an unusual niche, tunneling through epithelial cells of the

Colonoscopic Diagnosis of Trichuris Trichiura In A Patient With Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2014
Trichuris trichiura is a soil-transmitted intestinal helminth infection. Although mild cases are asymptomatic, heavy whipworm burdens lead to colitis with chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, dysentery, anemia, and rectal prolapse.

Technical considerations and review of urinary microRNAs as biomarkers for chronic kidney disease in dogs and cats

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 54, Issue S2, Page S52-S70, December 2025.
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, non‐coding RNAs that play a crucial role in gene regulation, making them potential biomarkers for various diseases. In the field of veterinary medicine, there is a growing interest in exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of miRNAs in kidney diseases affecting dogs and cats.

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...

A genetic analysis of Trichuris trichiura and Trichuris suis from Ecuador

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Since the nematodes Trichuris trichiura and T. suis are morphologically indistinguishable, genetic analysis is required to assess epidemiological cross-over between people and pigs.

New Perspectives on Classical Alarmin Responses to Intestinal Helminth Infection

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Interleukins 33, 25, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are core components of type two immune responses and have been studied extensively using helminth infection models. However, many questions remain regarding their cellular sources, their immune recipients, as well as how they shape immunity.
