Inhibition of Hippo signalling disrupts germinative cell-cycle progression and larval development in Echinococcus multilocularis

This study investigates the Hippo signaling pathway in Echinococcus multilocularis, showing that inhibiting Hippo signaling disrupts germinative cell-cycle progression and larval development.

Shared landscapes, shared risk: Echinococcus multilocularis infection in coyotes is linked to agricultural land and altered green space in a major U.S. metropolitan area

The paper examines Echinococcus multilocularis infection in coyotes in Chicago, finding higher infection rates in areas with agricultural land and altered green spaces, linked to human activity and zoonotic risk.
