Anemia is a health problem of concern among schoolchildren in underprivileged rural regions, where recurrent parasitic infections are common. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 229 schoolchildren in rural highland Bolivia in the department of La Paz, an area with a high prevalence of protozoan and helminth infections, to determine the types and mechanisms of anemia. A substantial proportion of children (40.

Broilers commonly experience stressors such as coccidiosis, a parasitic infection that results in intestinal damage, malabsorption, and performance losses. The poultry industry is exploring alternatives to anticoccidials for controlling coccidiosis, especially through the enhancement of gut health. Sodium bisulfate (NaHSO; SBS), an acid salt, has been used for many years as a litter acidifier to reduce aerial ammonia in poultry housing.

Background: Giardia lamblia is an intestinal protozoan estimated to cause ~200 million symptomatic infections annually, mainly in children in low- and middle-income countries associated with intestinal damage, increased permeability, and malabsorption.
Methods And Results: We describe here the epidemiology, incidence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of acute gastroenteritis episodes (AGE) with G. lamblia detection (GAGE) using a birth cohort of 443 Nicaraguan children followed weekly until 36 months of life.

Article Synopsis
- Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a parasite from the Microsporidia phylum that affects various animals and humans, causing intestinal diseases like severe diarrhea and malabsorption, typically transmitted through contaminated food and water.
- A study conducted in China analyzed 603 fecal samples from different snake species and found an overall infection rate of 15.59%, with Eastern rat snakes showing the highest prevalence at 21.99%.
- The research identified 26 distinct genotypes of E. bieneusi, revealing that 25 belonged to a common group found in multiple hosts, suggesting that pet snakes could be potential carriers of zoonotic microsporidiosis in China.
