BMC Biol . 2025 Jan; 23(1):10. PMID: 39800686
Background: Stress responses are key the survival of parasites and, consequently, also the evolutionary success of these organisms. Despite this importance, our understanding of the evolution of molecular pathways dealing...

Parasitol Int . 2023 Nov; 99:102830. PMID: 38016629
Background: The construction of Lake Kariba brought about a rise in the incidence of schistosomiasis in its surrounding towns of Kariba (Zimbabwe) and Siavonga (Zambia). After extensive control programs in...

Geraerts M, Huyse T, Barson M, Bassirou H, Bilong Bilong C, Bitja Nyom A, et al.
Int J Parasitol . 2023 Jul; 53(13):711-730. PMID: 37414208
Invasive Nile tilapias negatively impact native tilapia species through hybridisation and competition. However, the co-introduction of parasites with Nile tilapia, and subsequent changes in parasite communities, are scarcely documented. Monogeneans...

Zoolog Sci . 2023 Feb; 40(1):32-43. PMID: 36744708
Additional taxonomic and ecological data for the lernaeid copepod Nordmann, 1832 infecting the African tigerfish, Castelnau, 1861, are presented with scanning electron micrographs, molecular characterization, and selected ecological parameters. Eighty...

Geraerts M, Huyse T, Barson M, Bassirou H, Bilong Bilong C, Bitja Nyom A, et al.
Genomics . 2022 Mar; 114(3):110328. PMID: 35276332
The origin of introduced Nile tilapia stocks in sub-Saharan Africa is largely unknown. In this study, the potential of monogeneans as a biological tag and magnifying glass is tested to...

Folia Parasitol (Praha) . 2021 Nov; 68. PMID: 34825654
The African continent has a rich diversity of fish and amphibians in its inland water systems that serve as hosts for monogeneans of seven genera of the Gyrodactylidae van Beneden...

BMC Biol . 2021 Aug; 19(1):160. PMID: 34412627
Background: Humans impose a significant pressure on large herbivore populations, such as hippopotami, through hunting, poaching, and habitat destruction. Anthropogenic pressures can also occur indirectly, such as artificial lake creation...

Schols R, Mudavanhu A, Carolus H, Hammoud C, Muzarabani K, Barson M, et al.
Front Vet Sci . 2020 Dec; 7:605280. PMID: 33363243
Trematodes are snail-borne parasites of major zoonotic importance that infect millions of people and animals worldwide and frequently hybridize with closely related species. Therefore, it is desirable to study trematodiases...
