Article Synopsis
  • Wild boars can transmit zoonotic helminths to humans, and this study focused on identifying and characterizing these parasites found in wild boar carcasses from the 2023 hunting season.
  • The examination of 23 carcasses revealed the presence of Cysticercus tenuicollis and hydatid cysts, with molecular analysis identifying specific genotypes.
  • The results indicated that the G1 genotype of hydatid cysts was the most common among the studied wild boar population, along with the discovery of five new haplotypes, highlighting significant genetic diversity in these parasites.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on the genetic variations and haplotypes of Cysticercus tenuicollis, a parasitic larval stage of the cestode Taenia hydatigena found in sheep and goats in Turkey.
  • Researchers collected samples from 44 sheep and 26 goats, isolating genomic DNA and analyzing the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) gene to determine genetic diversity and relationships among the isolates.
  • Results showed 34 different haplotypes, high genetic diversity, and indications of population expansion, suggesting strong evolutionary dynamics within the C. tenuicollis populations.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common zoonotic disease caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. This study determined the genotype and haplotype differences using the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 gene in hydatid cyst samples. Human (n = 12), cattle (n = 28), and sheep (n = 31) hydatid cyst isolates were included.

A wide range of novelties and significant developments in the field of veterinary science to treat helminth parasites by using natural plant products have been assessed in recent years. To the best of our knowledge, to date, there has not been such a comprehensive review of 19 years of articles on the anthelmintic potential of plants against various types of helminths in different parts of the world. Therefore, the present study reviews the available information on a large number of medicinal plants and their pharmacological effects, which may facilitate the development of an effective management strategy against helminth parasites.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a neglected zoonotic tropical disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic variation of hydatid cyst isolates obtained from surgically confirmed paediatric cases originating from two different regions in eastern Turkey. Seventeen paediatric cases aged between 6 and 16 were operated by open surgery, and the germinal layers of their cysts were obtained for further molecular analyses.
