sp. infection (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) in invasive California kingsnake (Serpentes: Colubridae) in Gran Canaria.

Invasive species pose a threat not only to biodiversity because they displace or compete with native fauna, but also because of the pathogens they can host. The Canary Islands are an Atlantic biodiversity hotspot threatened by increasing numbers of invasive species, including the California kingsnake , which was recently introduced to Gran Canaria. Seventy-seven snakes were examined for gastrointestinal parasites in 2019–2020.

The winner takes it all: dominance of (Digenea: Paramphistomidae) among flukes in Central European beef cattle.

In Europe, paramphistomosis caused by Paramphistomum spp. was historically regarded as being of minor importance. However, Calicophoron daubneyi has recently been recognized as an emerging pathogen in Europe due to its increasing prevalence and negative impact on livestock production.
