  5. CW: parasites, matter, us

    @nev For anyone interested, I'll leave links to the interview I just read, which resembles the one I read as a child:
    - vice.com/en/article/this-scien

    - and the interviewee's YouTube channel, where he documented his experience: youtu.be/eM3IlLk8Mwo

  7. It seems that after last week's dryad drawing, I've still got flowers on my mind.

    There's a Japanese concept called 'hanahaki-byou' (flower-vomiting disease), whereby the sufferer has flowers grow inside their body due to unrequited love, eventually killing them if not cured. I had that in mind as I drew this artwork, though perhaps this particular case is more like a cordyceps infection...

  9. The empire’s grip is loosening…

    #BTS has taken Bong Joon Ho's [ #Parasite] measurement and reached the opposite door, and the difference lies not in the judgment but in what each institution offered. #Hollywood, once measured, opened its front entrance, so Bong walked in. The Recording Academy [ #Grammy], once measured, offered a side entrance with a language test, so BTS walked out. These look like opposite choices. They are the same choice, made by #Korean artists who stopped letting an American ceremony decide how large they were.”

  11. Small (~1.25mm) wasp that I've been finding in large numbers on yarrow growing in my yard. I'll probably never be sure, but my guess is that it's Aprostocetus anodaphus (Eulophidae), an endoparasite of Ozirhincus millefolii (Cecidomyiidae), which I've found on the same inflorescences in equally large numbers. As far as I know it has never been reported in North America. Please go out and check for them if you have yarrow and a macro lens. #wasps #hymenoptera #yarrow #achillea #flies #parasite #nature #insects #macrophotography

  12. Former #FDA official says #US handling of #cyclospora near ‘catastrophic level’
    There should be an independent review of fed government’s response to the rash of illnesses caused by the spread of a #parasite found on raw #produce, according to #FrankYiannas, who was deputy commissioner for food policy at FDA under both Trump and Joe Biden from 2018 to 2023. This has been compounded by a “lack of strong federal leadership” and mixed messages from federal agencies, he added

  14. Good #morning to readers; #kyiv remains in #ukrainian hands.

    A #parasite outbreak spooked the U.S. for a week.

    But in #ukraine people often get #sick from contaminated water caused by #blackouts following #russian #strikes . Oleksandra found this out when her #child woke her up #vomiting .

  20. What #Cyclospora #Outbreak Reveals
    #GlobalWarming is expected to fuel spread of food-borne #pathogens. We might not be prepared.
    It’s still not clear whether #climatechange played a role in the current outbreak. Cyclospora is a #parasite that spreads through human feces, and it’s rare for investigators to pinpoint a precise source of contamination. But experts say it’s plausible that warming could contribute to an increase in cyclospora illnesses.

  26. Inside the fight against the #parasite #Cyclospora
    Scientists trying to contain the growing #outbreak. Researchers are racing to track down what’s driving the surge in cases, cuts to federal funding for #publichealth present challenge.
    Compared with common foodborne illnesses that take hours or days to develop, extended timeframe can confound efforts to trace Cyclospora source. Patients have difficulty recalling food they ate so far in the past.

  27. Regulation of gene expression in the #parasite #Leishmania is largely post-transcriptional, but how is it controlled? This study shows that modification of tRNAs by #quenosine influences codon-biased translation and contributes to Leishmania virulence @PLOSBiology plos.io/4bwvAjs

  28. Antispeciesism includes parasites like leeches mosquitos and bedbugs.

    There are non-lethal ways to protect yourself from parasites.

    No one chooses what species they are born in to and villainising moralising or stereotyping parasite species helps nobody but it does reinforce human supremacy and anti-insect speciesism

    Ever noticed how in fiction insectoids are almost invariably unintelligent evil or ravenous beasts and humanoids can be approachable and reasonable: that is an example of anti-insect speciesism
