Helminth ecological requirements shape the impact of climate change on the hazard of infection

The paper models how climate change affects helminth infection hazard by developing a temperature- and humidity-dependent model based on experimental data from nine trichostrongylid species.

Phosphatidylserine clustering by membrane receptors triggers LC3-associated phagocytosis.

The paper identifies PS clustering by membrane receptors as a trigger for LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), revealing a novel PS-mediated signal transduction mechanism.

Modeling the contribution of antibodies to the within-host dynamics of single and dual helminth infections in a natural system

The paper develops a within-host mathematical model to analyze how antibody responses influence single and dual helminth infections in rabbits, finding asymmetric cross-immune effects and age-dependent dynamics.

The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend: Immune-Mediated Facilitation Contributes to Fitness of Co-Infecting Helminths

The paper investigates immune-mediated facilitation between two helminths in rabbits, showing that weakened IgA responses and cross-reactions lead to higher parasite intensities and increased transmission in dual infections.

Modelling plastics exposure for the marine biota: Risk maps for fin whales in the Pelagos Sanctuary (North-Western Mediterranean)

The paper models plastic exposure risk for fin whales in the Pelagos Sanctuary using advection patterns and habitat maps to assess impacts from different plastic sources.
