Sci Rep . 2025 Mar; 15(1):7353. PMID: 40025062
Echinococcus multilocularis (Em) is a neglected zoonotic cestode circulating among wild canids and voles across the northern hemisphere, and is the aetiological agent of alveolar echinococcosis in humans. The expansion...

Front Parasitol . 2025 Jan; 2():1161108. PMID: 39816820
Background: There has been a spate of recent cases of human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) in Alberta, Canada. Alveolar echinococcosis is caused by , which is prevalent among coyote populations and...

Parasitology . 2024 May; 151(7):650-656. PMID: 38766838
Manipulation of host behaviour by parasites to enhance transmission to the next host is a fascinating phenomenon that has interested scientists since the 1970s. It has been proposed that infection...

Salvatori M, Greco I, Petroni L, Massolo A, Dorigatti E, Miscioscia M, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2024 Apr; 291(2020):20232874. PMID: 38565152
Protected area (PA) networks are a pivotal tool to fight biodiversity loss, yet they often need to balance the mission of nature conservation with the socio-economic need of giving opportunity...

Toews E, Musiani M, Smith A, Checkley S, Visscher D, Massolo A
Sci Rep . 2024 Mar; 14(1):5066. PMID: 38429417
Human alveolar echinococcosis is increasingly documented in Alberta, Canada. Its causative agent, Echinococcus multilocularis (Em), can be transmitted to humans by infected dogs. We assessed the prevalence and associated risk...

Simoncini A, Massolo A
Food Waterborne Parasitol . 2023 Dec; 34:e00216. PMID: 38152424
Understanding the ecological factors that drive the spatial patterns of parasites transmission is essential to predict their distribution under global change and to direct proactive surveillance efforts. Here, we systematically...

Sci Rep . 2023 Mar; 13(1):3462. PMID: 36859468
Contamination of public parks by dogs is a potential source of conflict among park users, causing "tragedy of the commons" problems. Besides the social conflict, feces can pose serious health...

Glob Chang Biol . 2023 Feb; 29(9):2436-2449. PMID: 36815401
Global change is expected to have complex effects on the distribution and transmission patterns of zoonotic parasites. Modelling habitat suitability for parasites with complex life cycles is essential to further...
