If you, like me, really enjoy #sushi and #sashimi well, this study is quite #worrying.
“Scientists Find #Parasites in Almost Every Fish From a Recent #Tuna Haul – 96% Were Infected”
Parasites where Anisakis and Trypanorhyncha. Both can cause #illnesses (mainly gastrointestinal and allergic) but they cannot reproduce in our organism.
High quality fish, particularly when consuming fish raw, is essential. https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-find-parasites-in-almost-every-fish-from-a-recent-tuna-haul-96-were-infected

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

So, this site is very simple, but it's been around for years. Visit the forum for the latest posts about #diseases and #zoonoses.
For example, I found this item, posted by one of the moderators, under the thread:
#Texas - #AvianInfluenza in mammals and livestock 2023-2025 [Click the fast forward button to get to the latest post]"Media (City of Spur, Facebook page)
City of #SpurTexas
May 8, 2025"Important Notice: #BirdFlu Detected in #StrayCats
"The Texas Department of State Health Services has alerted us that a strain of bird flu is affecting stray cats in the area. The symptoms can look similar to rabies, and this virus is highly contagious to humans.
"Please be cautious around stray cats. If you see a sick or unusually acting cat, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Report it to City of Spur or the appropriate authorities right away.
"Your safety is important - stay alert and help spread the word!"

#WAHIS: World Animal Health Information System
"WAHIS is the global animal health reference database of the World Organisation for Animal Health (#WOAH). WAHIS data reflects the validated information since 2005 reported by the Veterinary Services from Member and non-Member Countries and Territories on terrestrial and aquatic Listed diseases in domestic animals and wildlife, as well as on emerging #diseases and #zoonoses.
"WAHIS includes interactive mapping tools and dashboards to support data consultation, visualization and extraction of officially validated animal health data."

We also confirmed the observation made by the Wheelers back in the '60s that Manica parasitica is really "shaky". Maybe this is an "adaptive manipulation" by the parasite?
-
1/2 We (re)rediscovered Manica parasitica in the Sierra Nevada. Originally, this ant species was thought to be a free-loading parasite that uses the nests and brood care of its host Manica bradleyi for its own survival.
Instead, "Manica parasitica" is tapeworm-infested Manica bradleyi.

Ant biologists thought the small, strangely-shaped Manica parasitica from the Sierra Nevada was a social parasite of another ant species, but the truth is even stranger.

@PaleoParaDive #Postdoc #Introduction Karina Vanadzina joined our team in Oktober. #She has a wide #experience with #phylogenetic #comparative methods and #macroecological analyses which she will use to investigate how #parasites and their #hosts respond to changing #Climate. She recently completed her #PhD @ St Andrews, UK, where she worked on the #evolution of #parentalcare in #vertebrates.
