The present study identified an undescribed myxozoan parasite species infecting Hoplias malabaricus specimens collected from the Arari River, in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari in the state of Pará, northern Brazil. Thirty specimens were necropsied to search for microparasite, and when plasmodium found, material was collected for analysis via light microscopy, histology and molecular biology methodologies. Macroscopic plasmodium was observed in the gills of 30% of the examined specimens. Microscopic analysis of the plasmodium revealed the presence of myxospores belonging to the genus Myxobolus . These myxospores were distinguished from other Myxobolus species that parasitize freshwater Amazonian fish based on their overall morphology, morphometry and partial sequence (1,452 base pairs) of the SSU rDNA gene. These analyses revealed the existence of a new species of Myxobolus , named Myxobolus malabaricus n. sp. The new species is clearly distinct from other Myxozoa and may be an important parasite for causing disease in the gills of H. malabaricus , an important species of the Amazonian teleost fauna.

Blastocystis, an Enigmatic Parasite - José Cebrián-Carmona; José Antonio Garrido-Cárdenas; Concepción Mesa-Valle (Acta Parasitologica, 2026)
Blastocystis spp. is the most prevalent human enteric protist, yet its clinical significance remains controversial. Currently recognized as a genetically diverse stramenopile with zoonotic potential, it comprises at least 42 subtypes, of which ST1–ST4 account for most human infections. Despite more than a century of research, its pathogenic role and ecological interactions are still debated. We performed a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global scientific production on Blastocystis spp. from 1917 to 2025 using the Scopus database, retrieving 3710 publications. Temporal trends, geographic distribution, leading authors and institutions, and thematic evolution were assessed through keyword normalization and classification into five categories: classical diagnosis, PCR/molecular approaches, genetics/phylogeny, clinical/epidemiology, and microbiota. Results indicate a steady increase and a subsequent acceleration in publication trends since the late 1980s, with a compound annual growth rate of 11.56% between 1988 and 2025. Early research was dominated by microscopy-based diagnosis, whereas the introduction of PCR and sequencing technologies reshaped the field by enabling subtype identification and phylogenetic analysis. Since 2010, clinical and epidemiological studies have expanded significantly, and microbiota-oriented research has emerged as a growing line of investigation. Co-occurrence analysis indicates that Blastocystis spp. is frequently studied in the context of polyparasitism and intestinal coinfections. Overall, Blastocystis spp. research has evolved from descriptive parasitology to a multidisciplinary field integrating molecular, clinical and ecological approaches, highlighting the need for context-dependent models of host–parasite–microbiota interactions.

Evaluation of Human-Approved Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Against Lactate Dehydrogenase from Theileria annulata - Selcan Akar; Maria Orlenco; Erennur Ugurel; Özkan Danış; Dilek Turgut-Balik (Acta Parasitologica, 2026)
Background Theileriosis, a tick-borne disease caused by Theileria annulata , leads to global economic losses in livestock, emphasizing an urgent need for the identification of new therapeutic agents with alternative mechanisms of action due to rising buparvaquone resistance combined with climate-driven spread. T. annulata lactate dehydrogenase ( Ta LDH) has been selected as a promising target in the current study. As approximately half of the FDA-approved veterinary drugs are shared with human medicine, integrating drug repurposing has gained importance as an emerging strategy for the management of tick-borne diseases. Methods In this study, in vitro and in silico approaches are integrated to screen 21 Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) from FDA-approved drugs against Ta LDH in the context of drug repurposing. Results Six of 21 the APIs showed ≥ 60% inhibition against Ta LDH (over 95% purity), particularly the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole, which exhibited both the highest inhibition percentage (73.36%) and the lowest binding energy (− 6.36 kcal/mol), with a consistency between experimental and computational results. To our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate FDA-approved human therapeutics as potential Ta LDH inhibitors. Conclusion This preliminary in vitro enzymatic inhibition study suggests omeprazole as a potential therapeutic agent for theileriosis. However, comprehensive pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses will further validate and advance these promising findings. Furthermore, APIs with ≥ 60% inhibition of Ta LDH may serve as promising leads for the future development of more potent anti-theilerial agents through targeted derivatization and lead optimization. In alignment with the One Health framework, evaluating human-approved active pharmaceutical ingredients as veterinary therapeutic against parasitic diseases may offer a sustainable, time and cost-efficient strategy.

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus in Domestic Cats and Their Associations with Clinical Signs - Eva Bártová; Kamil Sedlák; Špela Vodlan; Marie Budíková; Karol Račka (Acta Parasitologica, 2026)
Purpose Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) induces immunosuppression and may predispose cats to opportunistic infections, including Toxoplasma gondii . Data on natural coinfections in domestic cats remain limited, particularly in Europe. Methods A total of 105 domestic cats from veterinary clinics and shelters in Slovenia and the Czech Republic were examined. Antibodies to T. gondii were detected by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, and FIV antibodies by an immunochromatographic test. Associations with sex, age, housing conditions, and clinical signs were analysed using appropriate statistical tests. Results Antibodies to T. gondii were detected in 18.1% of cats, FIV antibodies in 10.5%, and coinfection in 4.8%. T. gondii seropositivity was significantly associated with young age, pet ownership, and the presence of clinical signs. FIV seropositivity was more frequent in males, young cats, pet cats, and clinically affected animals. Coinfection was observed more often in males and pet cats. Cats positive for T. gondii and/or FIV exhibited clinical signs significantly more frequently than seronegative cats (68% vs. 35%, p = 0.0036). Coinfected cats tended to present multiple categories of clinical signs more often than monoinfected cats, although this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions This study provides evidence of associations between host factors, T. gondii and FIV seropositivity, and clinical manifestations in naturally infected cats. Despite limitations related to sample size and serological testing, the findings contribute novel data on T. gondii /FIV coinfection in domestic cats in Central Europe.

Purpose Gynandromorphism is a developmental anomaly characterized by the simultaneous presence of male and female sexual morphological traits within the same individual. This study documents a case of gynandromorphism in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini 1888) in El Salvador. Methods The specimen was collected from a bovine belonging to the Experimental and Practical Station of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of the University of El Salvador, located in the municipality of San Luis Talpa, Department of La Paz. Results The reported gynandromorph of R. microplus exhibits bilateral gynandromorphism, displaying primarily female characteristics on the left side and male characteristics on the right. Conclusion This is the first report of a tick with gynandromorphism in El Salvador. Further studies are warranted to understand the implications of such anomalies and their veterinary and public health relevance.

Environmental effects on the lung and gastrointestinal parasite fauna of wild boar: a comparative study between alpine and Mediterranean ecosystems - Camilla Sangiovanni; Valerio Orazi; Irene Belardi; Leonardo Gallotta; Francesco Ferretti; Sonia Calderola; Patrizia Malaspina; Isabel Guadano-Procesi; Carlotta Fiorilla; David Di Cave; Federica Berrilli (Acta Parasitologica, 2026)
Purpose This study aims to explore environmental factors associated with parasite infections in faecal samples collected from wild boar populations, by analysing the prevalence, intensity, and abundance of parasite communities across two Italian ecosystems: the alpine environment in the Orco Valley (Gran Paradiso National Park) and the Mediterranean lowland in the Maremma Regional Park. Methods Seasonal faecal samples were collected from November 2023 to July 2025 along systematic transects in both study areas. Samples were analysed using the Mini-FLOTAC technique to quantify parasite eggs and (oo)cysts, and prevalence, intensity, and abundance were calculated. Environmental variables, including elevation, land use, temperature, precipitation, and season, were linked to each sample. Generalized linear models (GLMs) were fitted to evaluate the effects of environmental factors on parasite presence and abundance. Results Parasite communities were dominated by Eimeria spp., gastrointestinal strongyles, and Metastrongylus spp., whereas other taxa (e.g., Balantioides coli , Capillaria spp., Cystoisospora sp.) were sporadic. Significant differences in intensity and/or abundance of dominant taxa were observed between the two areas. Models based on infection abundance, rather than presence, revealed environmental associations: Metastrongylus spp. abundance decreased with increasing elevation, possibly reflecting constraints on intermediate host availability; while gastrointestinal strongyles abundance was lower in open natural habitats, reflecting microclimatic influences on larval survival. Conclusions This study highlights associations between habitat characteristics and parasite community structure in wild boar populations, providing insights into the environmental factors potentially influencing parasite transmission across heterogeneous landscapes.

Molecular detection and phylogenetic characterization of Babesia and Ehrlichia in free-living opossums from southeastern Brazil - Stephany Rocha Ribeiro; Larissa Pereira Rodrigues; João Otávio Mochiuti; Catharina Eulasya Viana Resende; Gilberto Salles Gazeta; Ana Beatriz Borsoi; Mariana Guimarães Côrtes da Cruz; Karla Bitencourth; Rodrigo Hidalgo Friciello Teixeira; Lígia Souza Silveira da Lima (Acta Parasitologica, 2026)
Purpose This study investigated the occurrence of vector-borne pathogens in free-living opossums ( Didelphis albiventris and Didelphis aurita ) from São Paulo State, Brazil, with emphasis on Babesia spp., Hepatozoon spp., and Ehrlichia spp. Methods Blood samples from 115 opossums (95 D. albiventris and 20 D. aurita ) were analyzed using parasitological and molecular approaches. Conventional PCR assays were performed for Babesia spp. and Hepatozoon spp., whereas nested PCR was used for Ehrlichia spp. Positive amplicons were sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis. Results Five samples (4.35%) from D. albiventris collected in Botucatu were positive for Babesia spp. based on the 18 S rRNA gene, and two samples (1.74%) were positive for Ehrlichia spp. based on the dsb gene. No Hepatozoon spp. DNA was detected. Sequence analysis revealed 100% identity between the Babesia amplicons and Babesia sp. (GenBank: MW290046), while one Ehrlichia sequence showed 100% identity with Ehrlichia sp. strain Natal (GenBank: KY207546; OP270482), and the second sequence showed 99.71% identity with Ehrlichia sp. (GenBank: OP270482). Phylogenetic reconstruction clustered the Babesia sequences within the South American Marsupialia Group and positioned the Ehrlichia sequences together with lineages previously reported in South American marsupials. Conclusion These findings provide the first molecular detection of Babesia sp. and Ehrlichia sp. in free-living D. albiventris from Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil. The results expand current knowledge on vector-borne pathogens in synanthropic marsupials and reinforce the importance of continued surveillance to improve understanding of host–pathogen interactions at urban–wildlife interfaces within a One Health perspective.

Determination of the Insecticidal Activities of Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) Secondary Metabolites on Dendroctonus micans (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Glyphodes pyloalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae) - Ali Soydinç; Birgül Özcan (Acta Parasitologica, 2026)
Background Forests provide many ecological and economic functions, but they are increasingly exposed to the invasion of various harmful insects. The bark beetle Dendroctonus micans and pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa are highly destructive insect pests that kill living trees, leading to significant reductions in forest productivity and widespread tree death. In addition to these, Glyphodes pyloalis is another tree pest that damages mulberries, which are economically important for silk yarn production. Method and Results In this study, a strain (27b2) from Beauveria bassiana was isolated from the cambium pests D. micans and Ips sexdentatus , which were collected dead from their natural habitat. Then, it was identified by morphological and molecular tests. The isolates of B. bassiana secondary metabolites were extracted from its extracellular medium and mycelium with ethyl acetate and acetone and then the efficacy of crude extracts against insect pests ( D. micans adults and larvae), ( Glyphodes pyloalis larvae and T. pityocampa larvae) was evaluated at concentrations of 500, 2000, and 5000 ppm. Consequently, it was determined that the ethyl acetate and acetone extracts of B. bassiana 27b2 showed a 100% lethal effect on D. micans adults and larvae, while the acetone extract showed a 100% lethal effect on T. pityocampa larvae. Conclusion The data suggest that the secondary metabolites of isolate 27b2 may be utilized as bio-pesticides for the control of these pests. Also, this is the first study examining the lethal effects of secondary metabolites extracted from B. bassiana on T. pityocampa , and D. micans .

Background Giardiasis remains a globally prevalent neglected parasitic disease, and limitations associated with conventional therapies highlight the need for alternative and complementary strategies. In this context, microalgae biocompounds have emerged as promising sources of antiparasitic agents. Objective This study aims to evaluate the in vitro preliminary screening activity (vital dye exclusion). Methods Aqueous extracts of Arthrospira platensis obtained by different extraction methods, as well as the bioactivity of the product derived from in vitro digestion (PDV), aiming to assess the influence of extraction and digestive bioactivation on antiparasitic efficacy. Extracts were produced by magnetic stirring and sonication, followed by exposure of Giardia duodenalis cysts to increasing concentrations, with metronidazole used as a reference drug. The PDV was generated using a standardized simulated gastrointestinal digestion model. Sonicated extracts showed enhanced membrane damage compared to mechanically stirred extracts, consistent with improved release of intracellular bioactive compounds. The IC 50 values for the sonicated, agitated, and PDV samples were, respectively: 95,4; 153.1 and 43.6 μg/mL. Results The PDV demonstrated activity across multiple concentrations and, under comparable conditions, outperformed metronidazole. These findings suggest that digestive processing may increase the bioaccessibility of active moieties responsible for antiparasitic effects. Conclusions Overall, the results support A. platensis as a sustainable source of giardicidal biocompounds and highlight the relevance of physiologically relevant in vitro digestion models for predicting functional antiparasitic activity and guiding future translational research.

High Molecular Prevalence of Anaplasma spp. in Cattle from the Sertão and Agreste Regions, Northeast Brazil - Leila Maria Rosa dos Santos; Matheus Dias Cordeiro; Maiara Vasconcelos Monteiro; Marina de Paula de Almeida; Juliano Martins Santiago; Claudia Bezerra da Silva; Bruna de Azevedo Baêta; Jonatas Campos de Almeida (Acta Parasitologica, 2026)
Bovine anaplasmosis is a tick-borne rickettsial disease of significant sanitary and economic importance to livestock, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, and is associated with high morbidity and reduced productivity. However, data on its molecular prevalence in cattle from semiarid and transitional areas of the Northeast region of Brazil remain scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Anaplasma spp. in cattle from smallholder farms located in the Sertão and Agreste mesoregions of the states of Paraíba and Pernambuco, Brazil. A total of 380 whole blood samples from cattle were analyzed by conventional PCR targeting the msp4 gene, following confirmation of DNA extraction by amplification of the endogenous GAPDH gene. Anaplasma spp. was detected in 92.1% of the cattle, with no significant association with sex, age group, breed, production system, or level of tick infestation. Positive cattle exhibited significantly lower hematocrit values compared to negative animals ( p = 0.0087). These results represent the first report of molecular detection of Anaplasma spp. in cattle from the states of Pernambuco and Paraíba and suggest the presence of enzootic stability microregions in the Sertão and Agreste mesoregions of Northeast Brazil.

Is a Commensal Here, a Pathogen There? Genotype Specific Responses by the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis to Vibrio Species - Justin Clark; Quinton Krueger; Tyler J. Carrier; Yehu Moran; Adam M. Reitzel (Molecular Ecology, 2026)
Animals rely on diverse molecular mechanisms to maintain beneficial microbial associations while also defending against pathogens, yet the extent to which these responses vary among genotypes of a single species remains poorly understood. Using individuals from different locations of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis , we compared transcriptional responses to a commensal ( Vibrio diabolicus ) and pathogen ( Vibrio coralliilyticus ) bacterium. We find striking genotype‐specific divergence: individuals from Nova Scotia mounted a strong transcriptional response to V. diabolicus , whereas the North Carolina and Florida individuals showed almost no response to this same bacterium. In contrast, all individuals regardless of location exhibited a large transcriptional response to the pathogen V. coralliilyticus . These responses involved key immune pathways (e.g., cGAS‐STING, NF‐κB, and proteostasis‐related stress responses), suggesting that different genotypes deploy distinct molecular responses when encountering the same bacterium. The robust, immune‐like response of the individuals from Nova Scotia to a bacterium considered commensal in other populations indicates that V. diabolicus may not function as a commensal across the species range. Such genotype‐by‐microbe specificity points to potential local adaptation to particular bacterial partners that underscores the complexity of holobiont regulation across heterogeneous environments and stresses the importance of assessing additive, synergistic, and antagonistic interactions across hologenomic mosaics.

Phylogenomics of Musa acuminata subsp. banksii Elucidates Its Biogeographic History in New Guinea and Ancient, Natural Dispersal to Australia - Sander de Backer; Yves Bawin; Arne Mertens; Janet Paofa; Gou Rauka; John E. Thomas; Kathleen S. Crew; Andrew D. W. Geering; Bart Panis; Sebastien Carpentier; Julie Sardos; Steven B. Janssens (Journal of Biogeography, 2026)
Aim We aim to reconstruct the phylogeographical history of Musa acuminata subsp. banksii across New Guinea and Australia and to test whether its occurrence in Australia results from ancient natural dispersal or recent human‐mediated translocation. Location New Guinea and northern Australia (Sahul Shelf). Taxon M. acuminata subsp. banksii (F.Muell.) N.W.Simmonds (Musaceae). Methods We generated genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data using DArTseq for samples spanning the subspecies' range. Phylogenomic relationships were inferred using maximum‐likelihood locus trees and quartet‐based species‐tree inference. Divergence times were estimated with time‐calibrated analyses in BEAST, and spatial diffusion and lineage dispersal were reconstructed using continuous phylogeographical modelling (SERAPHIM). Results Our analyses place the ancestral area of M. acuminata subsp. banksii in the Bird's Head Peninsula approximately 4 million years ago (mya), consistent with the recent emergence of New Guinea. The Central Range of New Guinea likely acted as a major biogeographical barrier and channeled expansion through southern lowland corridors. Australian populations form a deeply divergent lineage that colonised the continent via the Torres Strait land bridge during the early Pleistocene. This colonisation event predates human arrival in the region by more than 2 million years. Main Conclusions The presence of M. acuminata subsp. banksii in Australia reflects ancient natural dispersal rather than human translocation. Australian populations represent a vicariant lineage with a distinct evolutionary history, highlighting northern Australia as an overlooked reservoir of wild banana genetic diversity. Our study illustrates how integrating phylogenomics, molecular dating, and spatial diffusion modelling can resolve long‐standing biogeographical questions in regions shaped by dynamic geological and climatic processes.

Natural Snow Accumulation Gradients Mediate Environmental and Plant Trait Responses to Earlier Snowmelt in Alpine Tundra - Jonathan J. Henn; Katherine Bardsley; Clifton P. Bueno de Mesquita; Sarah C. Elmendorf; Nancy C. Emery; Emily C. Farrer; Chiara Forrester; Jane G. Smith; Marko J. Spasojevic; Jennifer F. Morse; Katharine N. Suding (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Mountain ecosystems are experiencing rapid climate changes, with implications for biodiversity and ecosystem function. Changing snow dynamics, especially earlier melt, are influencing the timing and length of growing seasons, species phenology, and plant abundance. Because mountains are characterized by high topographical and microclimatic variation, effects of changing snow dynamics may depend on small‐scale variation in topographically mediated snow accumulation. Wind‐scoured areas frequently lack snow cover and thus may be less vulnerable to earlier snowmelt than areas of deep snow accumulation. Here, we test this expectation by applying black sand to accelerate snowmelt in five 400 m 2 plots arranged along hillslope gradients. We followed the effects of experimentally accelerated snowmelt on snow‐off timing, growing season length, soil moisture, and plant community composition for 6 years. The largest changes in snow‐off timing (average of 15 days earlier) and growing season length occurred in areas that accumulated the most snow, but there was no effect on soil moisture during the growing season. While plant community composition varied spatially along ambient gradients in snow depth, experimental early snowmelt caused only limited directional changes in composition through time. There was no evidence of homogenization of plant community composition across snow depth gradients. However, species climate niche traits (range in climatic water deficit and range in snow affinity) and specific leaf area explained some variation in species responses to the treatments over time. Taken together, areas that accumulate the most snow are likely to be the most sensitive to changing snowmelt, driving changes in snow‐off timing and growing season length. While we did not detect taxonomic shifts in the plant community over the course of 6 years, some traits can explain variation in plant responses, showing that changing environmental conditions are shifting plant strategies.

Metagenomic Insights Into Red Sea Biodiversity Across the Web of Life - Elisa Laiolo; Christopher A. Hempel; Balegh A. Abukabbos; Omar I. Abunayyan; Intikhab Alam; Taiba Alamoudi; Wejdan A. Alkhaldi; Zuhair M. Almubarak; Hamad A. Alnashri; Afrah Alothman; Tareq H. Alqahtani; Khalid A. Alshaikh; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2026)
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to characterise biodiversity across the web of life. From a single shotgun assay per sample, this approach simultaneously characterised the sediment microbiome, which amplicon‐based surveys recover only through parallel, targeted assays, and extended detection to higher eukaryotes. Using high‐throughput sequencing, we generated 12.8 billion sequences, revealing taxa covering all domains of life. Although eukaryotic sequences represented only 0.7% of the taxonomically annotated dataset, we managed to identify 679 eukaryotic families. Prokaryotic diversity was high, as expected in a basin‐scale sampling coupled with high sequencing depth, with groups covering a wide functional array. Community structure analyses revealed depth‐driven stratification of open‐ocean benthic microbial communities and latitudinal structuring of coastal benthic eukaryotes. Overall, this dataset provides an empirical reliability–coverage trade‐off with direct consequences for the design of eDNA monitoring programmes targeting conservation‐priority taxa, and clear priorities for taxa specific reference‐database expansion.

Hydrological Regime Shifts Reshape Assembly Dynamics of Multi‐Trophic Microbial Communities in Pumping Station Forebays - Weiwei Song; Xiaofu Wei (Environmental Microbiology, 2026)
Multi‐trophic microbial community assembly and interactions in the forebays of pumping stations have remained poorly understood. In this study, 16S and 18S rRNA sequencing was carried out to reveal the diversity, network structure, assembly processes and environmental drivers of multi‐trophic microbial communities across normal and wet seasons in the pumping stations of the Qinhuai River Basin. The results showed that microbial diversity and community composition differed significantly between the two hydrological periods across all four trophic groups. Co‐occurrence network analysis indicated that the wet season network displayed greater complexity, connectivity and stability compared with the normal season network. Community assembly analyses revealed that dispersal limitation dominated in both seasons, whereas the relative contribution of homogeneous selection increased substantially during the wet season. Moreover, trophic transfer efficiencies were significantly correlated with β‐nearest taxon index (βNTI) values, suggesting an association between cross‐trophic interactions and assembly processes. Environmental analyses further showed that eukaryotic communities were jointly regulated by temperature ( T ), nitrogen nutrients and pH, whereas bacterial communities were mainly driven by T . These findings strengthen the understanding of how hydrological fluctuations regulate multi‐trophic microbial communities through the combined effects of environmental filtering and trophic interaction restructuring in pumping station ecosystems.
