Article Synopsis
- Brazil has the highest diversity of Ergasilidae globally, with 76 species, but there is a need for more genetic research to uncover additional information.
- The study involved morphological and molecular analyses of ergasilids found in the Pardo River, revealing two species that parasitized the nostrils of five fish species.
- New molecular data were gathered to explore phylogenetic relationships among ergasilids, leading to the identification of five distinct clades, including one unique to Neotropical species, while suggesting the potential for host switching with introduced fish.

Article Synopsis
- Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose significant health care challenges, prompting the need for advanced treatments like cellular, acellular, and matrix-like products (CAMPs), including polylactic acid (PLA).
- A retrospective study assessed the effectiveness of PLA compared to established CAMPs, using data from three wound care clinics and involving 131 chronic wounds that had been untreated for 12 to 52 weeks.
- Results indicated that PLA significantly reduced healing time and improved healing rates for both DFUs and VLUs, outperforming traditional treatments such as collagen dressings and fish skin grafts.
A new species of Neoergasilus Yin 1956 (Copepoda: Cyclopoida: Ergasilidae) parasitic on the catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) (Siluriformes: Clariidae) from South Africa.

Twenty-one specimens of an ergasilid were collected from the gills of the sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell), from the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The first leg and antennae morphology conformed to the genus Neoergasilus Yin, 1956. While the invasive Neoergasilus japonicus (Harada, 1930) is the only Neoergasilus species that has been reported from Africa, the combination of several characteristics, separates the Eastern Cape specimens from N.
