Students of "Parasitology and One Health", elective course for the 3rd year in Biology and in Biomedical Sciences of @uhasselt get introduced to the parasitological research @africamuseumbe @BiologyKULeuven @LBEG_Lab @KULeuvenKulak by @rubenschols. Thanks for the warm welcome!
The hippos of Botswana are under threat due to drought. vrtnws.be/p.RaEoEY6Y9 But invasive snails and the parasitic diseases they transmit might give the final blow 🥊🐌🪱🦛 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @CarolusHans @HuyseTine

Training the next generation of @HuyseTine’s energetic students on freshwater 🐌 DNA extraction with @MudavanhuAspire. The satisfaction is indescribable when you can remove the tissue without damaging the 🐚! Perfect for curation in the collection 🫙 @africamuseumbe @KU_Leuven
🏊♀️ Feel itchy after swimming? Hopefully this is not the reason why. 🪱 Swimmer's itch is a global concern among water enthusiasts. It is mostly caused by blood parasites of birds, which may try to infect humans, triggering painful skin lesions. 1/4
Did you know that Trichobilharzia regenti can cause paralysis in murine models? We provide the first record of this neurotropic parasite in the Benelux 🇧🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺 and the clearest link to human infections so far! OA: rdcu.be/dBaXg @HuyseTine @africamuseumbe @KU_Leuven
📢Ready for the International #molluscoftheyear competition 2024? 🎊🥳 🥁 Meet the 5⃣ incredible finalists🐚🐌🐙explore their profiles &🗳️ VOTE for your favorite by April 14th. 💪And of course don't forget to share! Winner will get its genome sequenced. 👉 sgn.one/moty24
📢 We are hiring: long-term postdoc position in Belgium on historical epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, including #schistosomiasis and #malaria. Please spread the word! uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vacanc… Deadline for application: 30/04/2024 @africamuseumbe @UAntwerpen
Sadly my time in Perpignan has come to an end. But not without a talk on 🦛 parasites and the microbiome transplant of the invasive 🐚 P. columella in a fully packed meeting room. Clearly many future collaborations still possible here! Thanks for the warm welcome @ihpe_lab
BiTElab wishes you all Happy World Hippopotamus Day! 🦛🦛Humans impose a significant pressure on these large herbivores which could lead to alterations of parasite diversity and transmission. Check out an amazing work of @africamuseumbe bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
New Parasite of the Month: #Fasciola #nyanzae, the #liver #fluke infecting the bile ducts of the enigmatic #hippo #hippopotamus #amphibius. Authored by @rubenschols & @HuyseTine. @africamuseumbe @KULeuvenKulak authors.elsevier.com/a/1ibHy5Eb1xJI…
Congratulations to doctor Tim Maes for successfully defending his PhD on snail distribution in a warming climate, impacting #schistosomiasis spread. A big thank you to @ASStensgaard @JeromeBoissier and @liesjacobs1 for acting as an excellent jury and their enlightening talks
Does the microbiome affect liverfluke transmission? Currently with Annia, Antonio, and Benjamin Gourbal at UPerpignan to adapt our microbiome transplant to the globally invasive snail Pseudosuccinea columella. Amazing lab! Stay tuned 🐌 @africamuseumbe @KULeuvenKulak
Vandaag trekken we met onze #aftelkalender naar Zimbabwe, waar @rubenschols en zijn team @KU_Leuven veldwerk deden in het Natuurreservaat The Malilangwe Trust naar slak-overdraagbare ziektes fwo.be/nl/onderzoeker…
Happy to see our last but interesting data from the 2017 Kariba study published! While we headed out to monitor schisto parasites in Lake Kariba, we never found any, probably due to a shift in gastropod communities! @HuyseTine @rubenschols sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Meet the Ryukyu rabbit #tick (Haemaphysalis pentalagi), the focus of the world’s first #conservation program for a globally #threatened #parasite! This tiny tick lives only in the Amamiōshima island group in south #Japan. This is the first footage ever taken of this rare species!
Poster prize won by @rubenschols at the Belgian Society of Parasitology and Protistology! Second year that the snail-team from @HuyseTine is winning this award 😊🐌! @ellendecaesteck @KU_Leuven @africamuseumbe

KING KONG vs TAPEWORMS I've written a post about Anoplocephala gorillae - a species of tapeworm that lives in the guts of Mountain Gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) 🦍 dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2024/04/anoplo…
Beautiful issue 😍. This post makes me realize we only have one fungal emoticon 🍄 but so many plants. Time for an ascomycete, zygomycete & chytrid emoticon !
Until we protect our native species with harvest limits, these sorts of trash events will continue. This is in Michigan; no limit on “rough fish” shooting (take all the invasive carp you want, but most of these are native fish). BUT the dead fish go to wildlife rehab! SMH.
Look - it's just a lil' guy! link.springer.com/article/10.118… This is the larval stage of Transversotrema hafniensis, it belongs to a family called Transversotrematidae and the adult fluke lives underneath the scales of fishes
