TL;DR: Challenges and current research highlights connected with helminth transmission in pigs are presented, including the heredity of host resistance to A. suum and T. suis is so high that breeding for resistant pigs may be a possibility, and basic research findings have offered new possibilities for future sustainable control measures.

TL;DR: Simón et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed human dirofilariosis in Europe: basic facts and retrospective review and found that the majority of the cases were found in the south-east of Spain.

TL;DR: EDNA provides a promising tool to substantially improve the environmental surveillance of S. mansoni in freshwater samples by using aquatic eDNA, and could become an essential future component of the schistosomiasis control tool box needed to achieve the goal of elimination.

TL;DR: The complexity of on-farm transmission dynamics is thus a challenge when evaluating the relative importance of management factors in relation to helminth infections.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of inulin-rich chicory roots (Cichorium intybus L.) on boar taint and concluded that they are the most suitable form for commercial use because they consistently reduced skatole without reducing performance, was easy to handle throughout the entire year and is relatively inexpensive.
