Organismes vermiformes d'une embranchement nommé #Nematomorpha, ils fréquentent les #eauxDouces cosmopolites (les points d'eau des grottes, les flaques, les étangs, les lacs, les cours d'eau de toutes tailles, mais aussi domestiques comme les piscines, les cuvettes de toilettes, les abreuvoirs pour bovins et les gamelles d'animaux de compagnie 🤪 ).

  2. CW: descriptions of screwworm behavior

    Media telling you that #screwworm is Biden's fault are lying. The monitoring program was ended by #PresidentMusk in March 2025.
    At least four cases in #Texas now reported, one in a goat. Dog case will be reclassified as #NewMexico.
    Flies lay eggs, which hatch in a day and burrow into healthy flesh, unlike most #maggots.
    Clinical name: Cochliomyia hominivorax, literally "man eater"...

  4. Parasite of the Day: Euglenaformis parasitica

    "#Euglena and its kin are mostly free-living, photosynthesizing when the sun's out, absorbing organic matter from the environment when it's dark. But the ancestor of E. parasitica was not content with this mostly peaceful lifestyle, and has evolved to live inside the body of #animals. These #euglenids were found parasitising #ostracods & #flatworms in a rice field in #Ibaraki, #Japan."

  9. #Contamination warnings issued for 5 #MaineBeaches heading into Labor Day weekend

    "Contaminated waters could hinder #beach adventures from York to Camden this Labor Day weekend.

    The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued contamination warnings for five Maine beaches after finding elevated levels of #fecalbacteria.

    "The affected beaches are #WillardBeach in #SouthPortland, #GooseRocksBeach in #Kennebunkport, #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunk, #CapeNeddickBeach in #YorkMaine and #LaiteBeach in #CamdenMaine. Total beach closures are rare in Maine, and as of Friday night all five affected beaches remained open.

    "The presence of enterococci bacteria suggests water also may contain other harmful bacteria, #viruses or #parasites, according to the DEP's Maine Healthy Beaches program, which tracks water quality at public beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Contact with contaminated water can cause flu-like symptoms, #gastrointestinal issues, rashes and #infection.

    "Beachgoers are advised to avoid areas with contamination warnings.

    "Laite Beach in Camden, which had more than 26 times more fecal bacteria than the threshold deemed safe, was the most contaminated beach on Friday night, according to DEP data."
