Automatic Detection and Characterization of Parasite Eggs by Image Processing
The accurate identification of parasites allows for the quick diagnosis and treatment of infections. Current state-of-the-art identification techniques require a trained technician to examine prepared specimens by microscope or other molecular methods. In an effort to automate the process and …

A zebrafish model to study the schistosome egg granuloma
… host. The disease pathology is caused by the eggs which they produce, and is primarily characterized by the granulomas which form around them. While the granulomas have pathological consequences to the host, they are thought to be essential to facilitate egg expulsion and completion of the …

Intestinal parasites in the Roman Empire, their regional distribution and ecosocial determinants
… disease in past populations. Evidence for parasites in the human past is steadily growing with examples from many different continents and time periods. Studies have been done in the Roman period however, this evidence does not cover all regions of the Roman empire. At its greatest extent …

The transmission ecology of Echinococcus multilocularis in a North American urban landscape
… multilocularis is a trophically-transmitted parasite that is typically maintained in a sylvatic cycle involving wild canid definitive hosts and small mammal intermediate hosts. As etiological agent of Alveolar Echinococcosis in humans, the cestode is currently the third most impacting …

Lifestyle and Intestinal Parasite Infection in Northern Europe: A Study Comparing Clergy and the General Population of Cambridge and Belgium in 12th-18th Centuries
While parasites were widespread in medieval Europe, very little work has been undertaken to compare how the risk of contracting different species may vary with a person’s lifestyle. A range of intestinal parasites have been identified from medieval and early modern excavations in northern Europe …

Towards unravelling the immunomodulatory mechanisms of S. mansoni & L. major parasites in a mouse model using transgenesis
Schistosoma mansoni and Leishmania major parasites use immunomodulatory strategies to evade the host’s immune response and little is known about the mechanisms by which these two parasites modulate host immune responses. As a result, these parasites develop different subversion mechanisms to escape …
