The invasive giant African snail ( Achatina fulica ) poses serious agricultural and ecological threats and serves as an important intermediate host of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis , which causes human eosinophilic meningitis. While its gut bacterial microbiom...

Genetic diversity, haplotype structure, and population dynamics of Echinococcus granulosus isolates from human cystic echinococcosis in Tibet, China

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a globally important zoonotic disease caused by the larval (metacestode) stage of Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato), a parasite complex characterized by marked genetic heterogeneity across geographical regions. The Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) of...
