In West Africa, Schistosoma spp. are capable of infecting multiple definitive hosts, a lifecycle feature that may complicate schistosomiasis control. We characterized the evolutionary relationships among multiple Schistosoma mansoni isolates collecte... Read More about Multihost Transmission of Schistosoma mansoni in Senegal, 2015–2018.

Toward Improving Interventions Against Toxoplasmosis by Identifying Routes of Transmission Using Sporozoite- specific Serological Tools (2020)

Background. Horizontal transmission of Toxoplasma gondii occurs primarily via ingestion of environmental oocysts or con- sumption of undercooked/raw meat containing cyst-stage bradyzoites. The relative importance of these 2 transmission routes remain...

Schistosoma spindale and Schistosoma indicum are ruminant-infecting trematodes of the Schistosoma indicum group that are widespread across Southeast Asia. Though neglected, these parasites can cause major pathology and mortality to livestock leading...
