Variable efficacy of praziquantel among Schistosoma-infected ruminants of northern Senegal—a drug trial and population genetic study across two contrasting epidemiological regions Abstract. While efforts to eliminate schistosomiasis as a public health problem gather momentum, the potential zoonotic risk posed by livestock Schistosoma

Very happy to share our latest paper on the impact, and One Health implications, of livestock schistosomiasis in Africa.

In a region we previously documented use/misuse of PZQ in livestock - we demonstrate near zero drug efficacy amongst small ruminants.

The role of parasite-produced dopamine in Toxoplasma gondii-altered host behaviour - Nature Communications Empirical evidence that parasite-encoded tyrosine hydroxylases (TgTH), and hence parasite-produced dopamine, contribute to Toxoplasma gondii-associated behavioural alterations within the rat host.

Delighted to share our latest paper, out today in Nature Comm, helping elucidate exactly how these sophisticated parasites can (at least in part) manipulate the behaviour of their hosts.

Delighted to share our systematic review
revealing significant associations between child protozoan infections and stunting, esp Cryptosporidium spp. & Giardia spp., although data on the impact of maternal infections were lacking and mixed.
