Integrative taxonomy of the temporary fish parasitic isopod Gnathia gunayalaensis n. sp. (Isopoda: Gnathiidae) from Panama, with supplementary data on Gnathia magdalenensis Müller, 1988
Gnathiid isopods are common ectoparasites of fishes whose unusual life history has created challenges for characterising their biodiversity and biogeography. Based on morphological and molecular data, we describe a new species, Gnathia g...

Comparative neuropathology of granulomatous amoebic encephalitis caused by Acanthamoeba spp. across species
Acanthamoeba species are free-living amoebae that cause granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, a rare but frequently fatal infection of the central nervous system that predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals. The disease is char...

Metabarcoding reveals mixed Cryptosporidium and apicomplexan infections in New Zealand dairy cattle
Cryptosporidium species are significant enteric parasites of cattle with zoonotic potential. Molecular surveillance of bovine cryptosporidiosis typically relies on 18S rRNA PCR and Sanger sequencing, which may underestimate mixed infecti...

To transmit or not to transmit, that is the question
Frequent transmission to new hosts selects pathogens for increased virulence. Transmission depends not only on the occurrence of opportunities but also on whether parasites exploit them. Several taxa of ectoparasites lack a specialized t...

A critical role for glycine betaine in the schizogonic proliferation of the protozoan parasite Perkinsus olseni
Protozoan parasites in the genus Perkinsus proliferate within marine mollusc hosts through schizogony to produce intracellular daughter cells. This proliferation of P. olseni PRA-181 requires glycine betaine (GB) derived from host mollus...

Blood companions: the Holocene record of ectoparasites
The Holocene fossil record of human and animal ectoparasites comprises specimens from sites worldwide, providing a unique perspective on human mobility, domestication and zoonotic disease. Lice, fleas, bedbugs, louse flies, ticks and mit...

Geographic and host-associated morphometric variation in Gyrodactylus atratuli Putz and Hoffman, 1963 and Gyrodactylus mediotorus King, Marcogliese, Forest, Mclaughlin and Bentzen, 2013 (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae) from leuciscid fishes, with first records from Mexico
The present study reports the first records of the viviparous monogeneans Gyrodactylus atratuli and Gyrodactylus mediotorus from leuciscid fishes in Mexico, providing new insights into intraspecific haptoral sclerite variability across h...

The historical prevalence of infection with Ascaris spp. and Trichuris trichiura in Europe was influenced by a combination of population density and climate
Infections with soil-transmitted helminths, Ascaris spp. and Trichuris trichiura , were commonplace across Europe prior to the Industrial era. The eggs of these nematodes are environmentally resilient and can be recovered from the pelvic...

Sodium perborate tetrahydrate modulates neuroinflammation and reduces Leishmania infantum infection in astrocytes
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by protozoan parasites of genus Leishmania . Although the parasites are classically considered macrophage-resident pathogens, accumulating evidence suggests that Leishmania can cross t...
