Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on the sequencing of mitochondrial genomes of two important trematode parasites affecting wood frogs, revealing complete genome lengths of 14,210 bp and 14,179 bp, consisting of 36 functional genetic subunits.
  • - Both parasites exhibit identical gene arrangements and similar characteristics to other related trematodes, with specific initiation and termination codons observed in the protein-coding genes.
  • - Phylogenetic analysis indicates that these parasites are closely related, with distinctions made between amphibian and ruminant flukes, suggesting the significance of this research for future taxonomy and genetics studies in trematodes.

Article Synopsis
  • - Clonorchiasis, caused by the liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis, poses risks for serious liver diseases, including cholangiocarcinoma, but its exact mechanisms and diagnostic markers are still not well understood.
  • - A study involving 18 rabbits assessed the impact of C. sinensis infection on liver function and identified various biochemical changes and metabolites at multiple time points post-infection using advanced testing methods.
  • - The findings revealed significant changes in liver function markers and identified several potential noninvasive biomarkers, like AST and GGT, useful for diagnosing C. sinensis infection effectively.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • * A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published between 1976 and 2020 revealed an overall prevalence of 30.5% for C. sinensis metacercariae in fish, with the highest rates observed in China (35.1%) and the lowest in Vietnam (8.4%).
  • * Factors such as climate, water source, and publication date were significant in influencing prevalence rates, indicating a pressing public health issue related to this parasite in the region.

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.
