, commonly known as the dogs' 'tongue-worm', is an arthropod endoparasite of the class Pentastomida infesting chiefly canids as definitive hosts and herbivores as intermediate hosts. Adult usually reside in the upper respiratory tract, such as the nasal cavity and sinuses, and the larval stages are encapsulated in various visceral organs, respectively. This report presents the first case of a nymphal pulmonary infestation in a cat from Albania and adds to the description of the overall rare cases of this parasitic infestation in domestic cats.

Background: Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction that is potentially life-threatening. Occupational anaphylaxis is an anaphylaxis that occurs in an occupational context. In this position paper, we propose diagnostic criteria for occupational anaphylaxis and provide an overview of the current state of knowledge in terms of prevalence, triggers, prevention, and management.

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an emerging tool in parasitology that can assist in analysing morphology and host-parasitic interactions. It is a non-destructive, cross-sectional imaging technique that offers good resolution and the ability to create three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions. Here, we used micro-CT to study , which is a zoonotic pentastome parasite that infects dogs and ruminants throughout the world.

Article Synopsis
- Pentastomida are lung parasites primarily found in reptiles, with the genus Raillietiella having the most species but still mostly identified through physical traits.
- The Raillietiella parasites are categorized into morphotypic groups, with differences in hook shapes among species, like sharp versus blunt tips.
- This study used molecular analysis to show that what seems like morphological differences in Raillietiella mottae is actually a phenotypic variation linked to the host species, with female size and hook shape varying based on whether the lizards are nocturnal or diurnal.
