#parasites — Public Fediverse posts

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 🤪 ).

Engineered #hookworms could one day dispense #drugs from inside your gut
Researchers have #geneticallymodified the intestinal #parasites to make an antitoxin
Using #CRISPR #geneediting, scientists engineered hookworms that live in the human gut to make an #antibody against deadly toxin
Eventually, small numbers of hookworms may secrete drugs or other substances into people’s bloodstreams to treat a wide variety of diseases from allergies to obesity

Secretion of #rhoptry factors is essential for invasion by #Apicomplexan #parasites. @RouaaBc @gaelle_lentini @SoldatiLabToxo &co identify #Toxoplasma RDF3 as crucial for invasion, priming microtubule-associated vesicles for rhoptry discharge #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Z4bbNx

If eliminated, it would be an amazing achievement.

"Globally, Guinea worm has declined from an estimated 3.56 million cases across 20 countries in 1986 to just 14 human cases in 5 countries in 2023 — mostly through bottom-up, low-technology efforts similar to those in South Sudan. What’s more, this has been achieved despite the lack of a vaccine or drug treatment for the parasite."

Dr. Penny Olsen: "we observed the parrots applying chewed pepper tree bark and shoots to their feathers and skin. We believe this is a rare example of a #bird using plant matter to rid themselves of #parasites. But there may be more to it. These #birds do seem to be enjoying themselves"
