Faecal prevalence, distribution and risk factors associated with canine soil-transmitted helminths contaminating urban parks across Australia
This study reveals a high rate of contamination with cSTHs in dog parks in urban Australia, most of which having proven zoonotic potential. Preventive measures, including awareness-raising educational programs promoting responsible pet ownership, should be encouraged to minimise the health risks associated with cSTHs for both dogs and humans.PMID:36007621 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijpara.2022.08.001 (Source: International Journal for Parasitology)

Medieval friars were riddled with parasites
When the University of Cambridge broke ground on a museum renovation in 2017, it uncovered the remains of dozens of medieval friars. Dating as far back as 1290, many skeletons still sported the weathered belt buckles—the corroded remnants of the friar burial garb. They also sported evidence of something far more insidious: the eggs of parasitic worms that potentially wreaked havoc on the friars’ intestines while they were alive.
Although these men lived a far more sanitary existence than the citizens in the town outside their community, they were far more likely to be riddled with parasites, a new study reveals. ...

Evidence of Toxocara Eggs in Pachycrocuta brevirostris (Gervais, 1850) Coprolites from the Pleistocene of Taurida Cave (Crimea)
Dokl Biol Sci. 2022 Jun;504(1):82-84. doi: 10.1134/S0012496622030036. Epub 2022 Jul 12.ABSTRACTCoprolites of the hyena Pachycrocuta brevirostris from the Lower Pleistocene (Upper Villafranchian) of Taurida Cave (Crimea) were studied. One of the three hyena coprolites contained helminth eggs. These eggs were assigned to Toxocara sp. based on their size and morphology. Toxocariasis was evidently a very common infestation among extinct hyena species. The find of toxocara in P. brevirostris coprolite from the Taurida Cave is the earliest evidence of roundworm infestation in P. brevirostris.PMID:35821300 | DOI:10.1134/S00124966...
