DOI: 10.1017/s0031182022000567

Abstract: Abstract Abstract The cestode Schistocephalus solidus is a common parasite in freshwater threespine stickleback populations, imposing strong fitness costs on their hosts. Given this, it is surprising how little is known about the timing and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12532

Abstract: Members of the Torpedinidae (torpedoes) and Hypnidae (coffin ray) use electric organ discharges (EOD) to stun or kill their prey before consumption. We investigated whether EOD could also negatively affect the helminth larvae infecting these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.00679-22

Abstract: The importance of the parasite microbiome is gaining recognition. Of particular concern is understanding how these parasite microbiomes influence host-parasite interactions and parasite interactions with the vertebrate host microbiome as part of a system of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0277420

Abstract: Helminth infections are cryptic and can be difficult to study in wildlife species. Helminth research in wildlife hosts has historically required invasive animal handling and necropsy, while results from noninvasive parasite research, like scat analysis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2025.1574830

Abstract: Introduction Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) are infected by trophically transmitted intestinal cestodes of the genus Diphyllobothrium. Diphyllobothrium species can cause zoonotic infections in humans when larval stages are ingested with… read more here.
