The superfamily Ascaridoidea are parasitic nematodes in vertebrates, including birds and humans. In order to investigate the presence and distribution of these parasitic nematodes in birds acting as the definitive host, 157 birds of 64 bird species belonging to 16 orders were collected and necropsied in the Kızılırmak Delta area in the Bafra district of Samsun province. The parasites collected were fixed in 70% ethyl alcohol and identified under a light microscope, and morphologically important regions were photographed for identification.

Background: Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) is a common ocular disease of ruminants worldwide. Recently, an outbreak of infectious keratoconjunctivitis was observed in the European bison in Poland. Hundreds of animals show conjunctival congestion, corneal opacity, and ulceration, leading to total blindness.

- A study in Malawi found a high prevalence of bovine schistosomiasis in cattle, with around 49.1% infected based on a miracidia hatch test, though there were notable differences in infection rates across different areas.
- In a specific herd near Lake Malawi, researchers used GPS tracking to monitor infection levels, discovering that while treatment was initially effective, reinfection occurred, especially in younger cattle.
- The findings highlight the need for a One Health approach to control schistosomiasis, addressing the interconnected issues of human and animal health, particularly in the context of zoonotic disease transmission in areas like Mangochi District.
Article Synopsis
- Over the years, the number of certain parasites, called anisakids, in Alaskan salmon has changed, with more found in chum and pink salmon.
- Research was done on canned salmon from 1979 to 2019 to see how many worms were in the fish, showing an increase in some types but not others.
- Because some marine mammals in Alaska are now protected and their populations are growing, this might be affecting the number of parasites in salmon.
Rhinella major (Anura: Bufonidade): a new paratenic host of Centrorhynchus sp. (Palaeacanthocephala: Centrorhynchidae) in Brazilian Amazon.

Acanthocephalans are grouped in a single phylum, having a cosmopolitan distribution and subdivided into several genera. Although species of this parasite genus have birds and mammals as definitive hosts, they have been reported in amphibians and reptiles, and have been noted as paratenic hosts. In this study we report the record of Rhinella major as a new paratenic host for the Centrorhynchus sp.
