📅 Five years ago, we published this paper which explored the hidden diversity of echinostome parasites at high latitudes. 🧪 From Iceland to Alaska, analyses of freshwater snails uncovered 14 species, including four newly recorded in Europe and numerous new country records. doi.org/10.1051/para...

📅 5 years ago: Could an Amazonian plant help fight mosquitoes, mites, and parasites? This review of Piper aduncum essential oil revealed bioactivity against pests and pathogens, highlighting its potential as a natural alternative to conventional pesticides. Now highly cited!🧪 doi.org/10.1051/para...

📅 One year ago today: We published a striking case report describing the death of a wild giant panda from severe Baylisascaris schroederi infection. More than 1,600 nematodes were recovered at necropsy, highlighting the impact of parasitic disease on endangered wildlife. 🐼🧪 doi.org/10.1051/para...

[2021] A parasite life cycle solved—and several assumptions overturned.🧪🐚 DNA data revealed that Donax variabilis is "just" a facultative host for 3 digeneans. The paper also clarified the life cycle of Lasiotocus trachinoti and confusion over hosts and larval stages. doi.org/10.1051/para...

What parasites are hiding in Europe's water frogs? 🐸🧪 By examining 239 frogs from Slovakia, this new paper combined morphology with DNA data to reassess Dactylosoma cf. ranarum. Surprisingly, none of the sampled flying insects carried the parasite. #Amphibians #Apicomplexa doi.org/10.1051/para...
