Blastocystis is the most prevalent intestinal protist in humans, yet its role in gut health remains poorly understood. Increasing evidence suggests subtype-specific interactions with the gut microbiome and metabolome may underlie its variab...
Dibothriocephalosis in salmonids from Iceland: A more complex taxonomic problem than assumed until now? [0.03%]
冰岛鲑科鱼类的多头串珠绦虫病：比迄今所假设的更复杂的分类问题？

Lucia Dinisová et al.
The diphyllobothriid tapeworm Dibothriocephalus ditremus, one of the three Dibothriocephalus species native to Europe, parasitises exclusively piscivorous birds and has not yet been detected in mammals. This is probably the reason why there...
Accurate identification of medically important Aedes mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Thailand through DNA barcoding, wing geometric morphometrics, and machine learning [0.03%]
DNA条形码、翅膀几何形态测量和机器学习在泰国重要医学蚊种巨蚊属物种鉴定中的应用

Savana Annisa Rahmah et al.
Haemosporidian parasites are increasingly being recognized as emerging threats to avian populations, with the potential to cause severe morbidity, leading to population decline, and even extinction in susceptible species. In February 2022, ...
Assessing whole-host homogenisation as a new tool for parasite detection and identification [0.03%]
评估整宿主均质化作为新的寄生虫检测和鉴定工具的效果

Kamil Hupało et al.
Despite their importance in ecosystem functioning, parasites remain the most neglected components of biodiversity monitoring. This neglect is partly due to the methodological challenges associated with their detection and identification. Cu...
Long-read sequencing reveals that the mitochondrial genome of an individual Ixodiphagus hookeri is a mixture of structural variants with an invariable core region and heterogeneous repeat regions [0.03%]
