Physaloptera praeputialis is a common gastric spirurine of domestic and wild felids worldwide, but its pathological importance in European felids and the molecular characterisation of European isolates remain poorly documented. This study identifies P. praeputialis in European wildcats (Felis silvestris) from central …

Throughout history, species within the genus Entamoeba have been described using criteria that were not always applied consistently, resulting in an often confusing and controversial taxonomy. Several factors contributed to this situation, including the limited number of morphological characters available for taxonomic …

In this study, we address the criteria for the identification of species and subspecific categories (ribosomal lineages) within the genus Entamoeba using an evolutionary species concept and an integrative taxonomic framework, in which genetic evidence may allow species differentiation in the absence …

Lamiaceae and Asteraceae plant species have been widely used in Mediterranean ethnomedicine for gastrointestinal disorders. They are also known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-parasite, and anti-virus properties. Giardia duodenalis is the most prevalent intestinal protozoon in children and young dogs worldwide. …

While the molecular identification of Echinococcus granulosus species is essential for surveillance, a detailed investigation of the parasite's genetic diversity would offer a more accurate understanding of its transmission. This may be done by partial or whole mitochondrial genome sequencing, but both …

The European wildcat (Felis silvestris) is a mesocarnivore widely distributed across Europe, with populations in the Iberian Peninsula experiencing decline due to habitat fragmentation, hybridization with domestic cats, and anthropogenic factors. Among the parasites commonly found in wildcats are cestodes of the …

Abstract Lamiaceae and Asteraceae plant species have been widely used in traditional medicine to treat gastrointestinal disorders in countries of the Mediterranean basin. Other properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-parasite, and anti-virus have been described. Giardia duodenalis is the most frequent …

Balantioides coli is the only ciliate currently described as an intestinal parasite of humans, although it can also infect other animals, particularly pigs. Its in vitro cultivation remains challenging, and no axenic culture system is currently available. Cultures are initiated by adding …

Trichomonas vaginalis causes one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Despite extensive biomolecular research on this protozoan, no efficient molecular tool currently exists for the intraspecific classification of T. vaginalis isolates. In recent years, an incipient tendency has been observed …

Flagellates of the genus Giardia are intestinal parasites with a broad host range. Several Giardia duodenalis variants (assemblages) recently elevated to species rank—G. duodenalis (assemblage A1), G. intestinalis (A2) and Giardia enterica (B) are human pathogens. Giardia enterica has been reported in …

Several species of amoebae in the genus Entamoeba forming four-nucleated mature cysts are pathogenic, but their identification is challenging due to a lack of distinctive morphological traits. Furthermore, host species cannot reliably be used as a criterion for identification. In this study, …
