The geographical location and shape of Apulia, a narrow land stretching out in the sea at the South of Italy, made this region a Mediterranean crossroads connecting Western Europe and the Balkans. Such movements culminated at...
Helminth Microbiota Profiling Using Bacterial 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing
Symbiont microbial communities play important roles in animal biology and are thus considered integral components of metazoan organisms, including parasitic worms (helminths). Nevertheless, the study of helminth microbiomes has...
Tirana as an Open Lab
The event we are facing at a global scale, the COVID-19 pandemic, can be considered a real death blow to the real markets, in general, as well as to a local heritage-based tourism market, in particular. The closing of both near...

Classic Models for New Perspectives
Whilst a wealth of data indicate that infections by gastrointestinal helminths are accompanied by significant alterations in the composition of the vertebrate gut flora, little is known of the immune-molecular mechanisms that...
Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Clues for Differences in Pathogenicity between Hysterothylacium aduncum, Anisakissimplex sensu stricto and Anisakis pegreffii.
Serena Cavallero, Fabrizio Lombardo, Marco Salvemini, Antonella Pizzarelli, Cinzia Cantacessi, Stefano D'Amelio
Mar 18, 2020
Ascaridoid nematodes are widespread in marine fishes. Despite their major socioeconomic importance, mechanisms associated to the fish-borne zoonotic disease anisakiasis are still obscure. RNA-Seq and de-novo assembly were herein...

BACKGROUND: The complex network of interactions occurring between gastrointestinal (GI) and extra-intestinal (EI) parasitic helminths of humans and animals and the resident gut microbial flora is attracting increasing attention...
Helminth-microbiota cross-talk - A journey through the vertebrate digestive system.
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract of vertebrates is inhabited by a vast array of organisms, i.e., the microbiota and macrobiota. The former is composed largely of commensal microorganisms, which play vital roles in host nutrition...

Cost of Coexisting with a Relict Large Carnivore Population
Andrea Galluzzi, Valerio Donfrancesco, Gianluca Mastrantonio, Cinzia Sulli, Paolo Ciucci
May 21, 2021
Human-carnivore conflicts are a major conservation issue. As bears are expanding their range in Europe’s human-modified landscapes, it is increasingly important to understand, prevent, and address human-bear conflicts and...
Molecular mechanisms behind mRNA localization in axons.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) localization allows spatiotemporal regulation of the proteome at the subcellular level. This is observed in the axons of neurons, where mRNA localization is involved in regulating neuronal development and...
Do poachers make harsh gamekeepers? Attitudes to tax evasion and to benefit fraud
In neoclassical economics the decision to evade tax is analysed in the same way as the decision to commit benefit fraud. Both decisions depend on the net expected utility that a 'representative individual' will derive from...
Tissue-specific transcriptomes of Anisakis simplex (sensu stricto) and Anisakis pegreffii reveal potential molecular mechanisms involved in pathogenicity.
Serena Cavallero, Fabrizio Lombardo, Xiaopei Su, Marco Salvemini, Cinzia Cantacessi, Stefano D'Amelio
Feb 05, 2018
Background: Larval stages of the sibling species of parasitic nematodes Anisakis simplex sensu stricto (AS) and Anisakis pegreffii (AP) are responsible for a fish-borne zoonosis, known as anisakiasis, that humans acquire via the...
Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Clues for Differences in Pathogenicity between Hysterothylacium aduncum, Anisakis simplex sensu stricto and Anisakis pegreffii

Ascaridoid nematodes are widespread in marine fishes. Despite their major socioeconomic importance, mechanisms associated to the fish-borne zoonotic disease anisakiasis are still obscure. RNA-Seq and de-novo assembly were herein...
A bug's life
The body of vertebrates is inhabited by trillions of microorganisms, i.e. viruses, archaea, bacteria and unicellular eukaryotes, together referred to as the ‘microbiota’. Similarly, vertebrates also host a plethora of parasitic...

Helminths, hosts, and their microbiota
INTRODUCTION: Evidence is emerging of complex interactions occurring between gastrointestinal (GI) parasites of ruminants and the resident gut flora, with likely implications for the pathophysiology of worm infection and...
Gastrointestinal worms and bacteria
A plethora of studies, both experimental and epidemiological, have indicated the occurrence of associations between infections by gastrointestinal (GI) helminths and the composition and function of the host gut microbiota. Given...
Cyathostomine egg reappearance period following ivermectin treatment in a cohort of UK Thoroughbreds.
Rebecca A Molena, Laura E Peachey, Angela Di Cesare, Donato Traversa, Cinzia Cantacessi
Mar 02, 2018
Background: In spite of the emergence of populations of drug-resistant cyathostomins worldwide, little is known of parasite species responsible for 'early egg shedding' in cohorts of horses subjected to treatment with widely...
Cancer, COVID-19, and the need for critique.

Jan 06, 2021
In this open letter we examine the implications of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for cancer research and care from the point of view of the social studies of science, technology, and medicine. We discuss how...
Serum amyloid A levels and alpha 2 and gamma globulins on serum protein electrophoresis in cats exposed to and infected with Leishmania infantum

Apr 21, 2021
Abstract: Background: Dogs are the main reservoir hosts of Leishmania infantum; nevertheless, recent investigations indicate a likely role for cats in the epidemiology of Leishmania infection. Feline leishmaniosis (FeL) remains...
CHCHD4 confers metabolic vulnerabilities to tumour cells through its control of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
Luke W Thomas, Jenna M Stephen, Cinzia Esposito, Simon Hoer, Robin Antrobus, Afshan Ahmed, Hasan Al-Habib, Margaret Ashcroft
Feb 15, 2019
BACKGROUND: Tumour cells rely on glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to survive. Thus, mitochondrial OXPHOS has become an increasingly attractive area for therapeutic exploitation in cancer. However...
