Recent Advances in Omics and Genetic Tools in Schistosome Research and Control.

International journal for parasitology
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease posing a persistent threat to global health, particularly in endemic areas. Mass drug administration with praziquantel has substantially reduced disease burden, yet its limited efficacy against juvenile...

The spatial proteome of Eimeria tenella provides a high-resolution view of proteins localised to key invasion organelles.

International journal for parasitology
Eimeria tenella is one of the most prevalent species of Eimeria that infects chickens causing coccidiosis, an enteric disease estimated to cost the poultry industry over £10.4 billion globally per year. The E. tenella genome contains ∼7268 protein-co...

Early prediction of declining health associated with helminth infection in small ruminants using accelerometers and machine learning.

International journal for parasitology
Assessment of the health status of individual animals is a key step in the timely and targeted treatment of infections, which is critical in the fight to slow the development of anthelmintic and antimicrobial resistance. The FAMACHA scoring system ha...

Development and validation of an explainable prediction model for schistosomiasis seropositivity: a population-based screening study in Hunan Province, China.

International journal for parasitology
Early identification of people at risk of schistosomiasis infection is critical to interrupting disease transmission. We develop and validate an explainable machine learning prediction model that integrates demographic, behavioral, and environmental ...
