TL;DR: A comparative phylogenetic study was carried out with the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences of the Trichuris species from various hosts and the female individuals morphologically determined as T. discolor were molecularly identified as Trichuis discolor.

TL;DR: Red foxes with E. multilocularis infection had lower levels of toxic metals (Cd, Pb); cadmium levels in infected foxes were twice as low as in uninfected foxes, which could support the hypothesis that tapeworms are able to absorb toxic heavy metals from the host body into their tissues, as well as to modify other element concentrations in the hostBody.

TL;DR: The taxonomy of the genus Echinococcus is controversial; in the current state of ongoing complex revisions, the agent of cystic echinococcosis E. granulosus sensu lato is divided into five species, in addition to the agents of alveolar echinOCoccosis (E. multilocularis, E. shiquicus) and polycystic/unicystic E. oligarthrus.

TL;DR: Nine ponies, aged 12 months at the time of infection, were randomly allocated to one of three groups and each pony was infected with 30,000 infective cyathostome larvae stored 4 weeks under the natural environmental conditions of the Czech Republic.

TL;DR: This is the first European study to demonstrate anthelmintic resistance in Oxyuris equi to macrocyclic lactones in naturally infected ponies (Czech Republic) with naturally acquired cyathostome and pinworm infections.
