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

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

John Terhune, Portland Press Herald, Maine

"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."
