We aimed to assess the risks of and infections associated with drinking water for local residents, based on a quantitative microbial risk assessment, in three densely populated regions of China. In total, 45 source water samples and 45 treated water samples were collected from June to December 2014. Five -positive samples and 5 -positive samples were found.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the efficiency of the modified Kato-Katz thick smear method (KK method) with PCR assay for detecting infections in human fecal samples in Guangxi, China.
- A total of 133 fecal samples were tested, revealing that PCR assay had a higher detection rate (70.68%) compared to the KK method (57.14%).
- The results suggest using both methods together in low-endemic areas to enhance detection rates, as PCR showed significantly better performance overall.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies for Cysticercus cellulosae and Toxoplasma gondii in patients diagnosed with meningitis encephalitis syndrome to enhance clinical diagnosis.
- Blood samples were taken from 122 patients across various hospitals in China, and the rates of positive antibodies were analyzed by factors such as gender, season, age, and occupation.
- The results showed a notable prevalence of antibodies, particularly IgM for T. gondii among older patients and cysticercus in younger individuals, but no significant differences were found based on gender, seasonal variations, age groups, or occupations.

Objective: To investigate the alteration of expression and activity of arginase from monocytic-type myeloid-derived suppressor cells（M-MDSC） in BALB/c mice infected with Echinococcus granulosus.
Methods: Twelve BALB/c female mice were randomly divided into control and infected groups. The mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2 000 live protoscoleces or an equivalent volume of normal saline.
