The Iberian Peninsula is one of the most humanized areas in Europe, yet humans may cohabit with large predators, such as wolf (Canis lupus signatus), at expense many contributions to its conservation. limited wolves’ territory leads a close relationship between this wild species, humans, and other animals, which promote spillover pathogens, gastrointestinal parasites. This review intends provid...

The aim of the present review was to evaluate state knowledge trematodes (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) in Chile, covering taxonomy, biology, geographic distribution, and a checklist all taxa reported country. A total 277 articles published between 1849 December 2020, have been analyzed. 215 belonging subclasses Digenea Aspidosgastrea from 119 them identified species level only three with complet...

The red-rimmed melania or Malaysian Trumpet Snail, Melanoides tuberculata, is a common exotic freshwater snail that has been invading an increasing number of water bodies in North America. As well-known host for trematodes causing human and animal diseases, the pattern invasion parasitic infection this species great concern. Snail specimens were collected from urban stream Los Angeles drains in...

In a tropical locality of Río La Antigua, Veracruz, Mexico, 11 fish species, represented by 244 individual fish from six freshwater fish families living sympatrically and synchronically, were examined for helminth parasites. A total of 36 taxa of helminths were recorded, 24 autogenic and 12 allogenic forms, including 6 monogeneans, 14 trematodes, 1 cestode, and 15 nematodes. Most helminth taxa ...

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a major public health problem in the northeastern part of Thailand where the prevalence of this cancer is highest in the world. It is a slow growing tumor but highly metastatic with a poor prognosis. The traditional habit of eating raw fish, repeated exposure to liver fluke and consumption of nitrosamine-contaminated food are major risk factors. Understanding of carc...

Fasciola hepatica infection is reported from many Latin American countries, with very high prevalence rates in both humans and livestock in the Andean countries. Due to its environmental characteristics, particularly suitable for liver fluke infection, the Cajamarca valley of Peru has often been chosen as a model to study the epidemiology of liver fluke infection in the Andes. In this paper we ...

There is a gap in our understanding of the relative and interactive effects of different parasite species on the same host population. Here we examine the effects of the acanthocephalan Acanthocephalus galaxii, an unidentified cyclophyllidean cestode, and the trematodes Coitocaecum parvum and Microphallus sp. on several fitness components of the amphipod Paracalliope fluviatilis, using a combin...
