Survey of the Prosthogonimus spp. metacercariae infection in the second intermediate host dragonfly in Heilongjiang Province, China.

Prosthogonimiasis poses a threat to the reproductive system of poultry and wild birds, which are the definitive hosts of the parasite causing this disease. However, the parasite infection of the second intermediate host (dragonfly), the primary vector of this pathogen, is rarely reported. In this study, the prevalence of Prosthogonimus infection in dragonflies was investigated from June 2019 to October 2022 in Heilongjiang Province, northeast China.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Prosthogonimus cuneatus and Prosthogonimus pellucidus (Trematoda: Prosthogonimidae), their features and phylogenetic relationships in the superfamily Microphalloidea.

Prosthogonimus cuneatus and Prosthogonimus pellucidus (Trematoda: Prosthogonimidae) are common flukes of poultry and other birds which can cause severe impacts on animal health and losses to the poultry industry. However, there are limited studies on the molecular epidemiology, population genetics, and systematics of Prosthogonimus species. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of P.

Integrative Transcriptomics and Proteomics Analyses to Reveal the Developmental Regulation of : A Neglected Trematode With Potential Carcinogenic Implications.

is a neglected zoonotic parasite of the gallbladder and bile duct of poultry, mammals, and humans. It has been widely reported in Asian, including China, Japanese, and Korea, where it is a potential threat to public health. Despite its significance as an animal and human pathogen, there are few published transcriptomic and proteomics data available.

Identification of Myoferlin, a Potential Serodiagnostic Antigen of Clonorchiasis, Immunoproteomic Analysis of Sera From Different Infection Periods and Excretory-Secretory Products of .

Clonorchiasis, which is caused by , is an important foodborne disease worldwide. The excretory-secretory products (ESPs) of play important roles in host-parasite interactions by acting as causative agents. In the present study, the ESPs and sera positive for were collected to identify proteins specific to the sera of (i.

Proteomic Analysis of Excretory and Secretory Products Co-Immunoprecipitated Using Time Course Infection Sera.

is a widespread pathogen that is known for its harmful effects on the health and productivity of ruminant animals. To identify the proteins present in all periods of infection with but not in those with by shotgun liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), we collected the ESPs and sera of and . In this study, the sheep were artificially infected with and the sera were collected at five different periods: 3 days post-infection (dpi), 7 dpi, 21 dpi, 63 dpi, and 112 dpi.

The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in sheep in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, which is widespread in warm-blooded animals and humans. Currently, many studies regarding T. gondii infection in sheep have been published worldwide.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genomes of Coronocyclus labiatus and Cylicodontophorus bicoronatus: Comparison with Strongylidae species and phylogenetic implication.

Coronocyclus labiatus and Cylicodontophorus bicoronatus are two significant horse parasitic nematodes which are classified into subfamily Cyathostominae, family Strongylidae, however, the classification of these nematodes has been controversial for more than a century. Mitochondrial (mt) genomes are considered valuable sources for parasite taxonomy, population genetics, and systematics studies. In the present study, the mt genomes of Co.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Infection Among Five Wild Rodent Species from Five Provinces of China.

, an intracellular zoonotic parasite, can infect humans and various animals worldwide. Wild rodents plan an important role as intermediate hosts of . Some studies on from wild rodents have been published, but the investigation data of in wild rodents in China are limited.

Molecular detection of Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Longjiang Wagyu cattle in Northeastern China.

Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi are two important zoonotic pathogens that can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal illnesses in humans and animals. However, the prevalence and genotype of the parasites in Longjiang Wagyu cattle in Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China have not been reported.

Comparative analysis of mitochondrial DNA datasets indicates that Cylicostephanus minutus represents a species complex.

Cyathostomins are one kind of the most important parasites in equids. Cylicostephanus minutus is a member of the subfamily Cyathostominae. In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes from four Cs.

The global seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in deer from 1978 to 2019: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Toxoplasma gondii infecting virtually all warm-blooded animals, including humans, is an intracellular protozoan parasite. The immunocompromised patients or pregnant women infected by Toxoplasma usually can cause encephalitis or abortion. Deer are also the important intermediate host of the parasite and people can be infected by ingesting the undercooked venison.

Seropositivity and Associated Risk Factors in Cats () in Three Provinces in Northeastern China from 2013 to 2019.

Comparative analyses of complete ribosomal DNA sequences of Clonorchis sinensis and Metorchis orientalis: IGS sequences may provide a novel genetic marker for intraspecific variation.

Both Clonorchis sinensis and Metorchis orientalis are the fish-borne zoonotic trematodes, and have a wide distribution of southeastern Asia, especially in China. Due to the similar morphology, life cycle, and parasitic positions are difficult to differentiate between both metacercariae. In the present study, the complete rDNA sequences of five C.
