Here at @BSPparasitology, I will be live-tweeting today from the Veterinary Parasitology session at Appleton Hall 2 & from 11:30 am-13:00 PM, from the Protists 5 session: Genomics & Evolution at McEwan Hall! So I will retweet from parallel sessions! Beautiful #BSP2023 final day! Image
Beginning #BSP2023 Day 4 and opening our Veterinary Parasitology session today, is Dr Lynsey Melville (taking over from Fiona Kenyon) of @MoredunComms who is telling us about "Making #roundworm data ewe-niversal for all". #parasitology Image
Dr Melville of @MoredunComms tells us about her research in monitoring the development of anthelmintic resistance in the treatment of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep, particularly focusing on Nematodirus battus resistance to benzimidazoles: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #BSP2023

Sylvester Stallone has gone in hard on Rocky producer Irwin Winkler after being left out of plans for an Ivan Drago spin-off movie.

(THREAD) 🧵
⭐️The Hollywood actor, 76, was the star of the hit boxing franchise, but is far from happy at one of the OG producers' decision to create a new film surrounding the origins of one of its hit characters.

𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟬: It was in 1970 that the full life cycle of #Toxoplasma gondii was described for the 1st time by Frenkel et al. Nowadays, the micro- and macro- gametocyte stages in the cat intestine are rarely studied, so the Frenkel et al. (1970) micrographs are still informative. Image
𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟭: A year that would forever change the field of #malaria research. In 1971, Prof Youyou Tu of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, would use ether to extract "qinghaosu" from Artemisia annua L. leaf extract. In English: Artemisinin. @womeninmalaria Image

In 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟲, the eminent parasitologist P. Cyril C. Garnham published his "magnum opus", the 1132-page encyclopaedia of #malaria parasites, "Malaria Parasites and Other Haemosporidia". After 56 yrs, images from this book are still used as references across the world. #Plasmodium Image
𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟳- what a year! In 1967, Ruth Nussenzweig & colleagues released a @Nature paper showing that X-irradiated Plasmodium sporozoites produced protective immunity against #malaria in mice. This study sparked research that would result in the identification of CSP (1/3) Image

It is now 60 days until (& including) the 1st of April, 2022! April '22 marks 𝟲𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 since the British Socety for Parasitology was formed from the Parasitological Section of the Institute for Biology!
To mark this, we will be releasing a #parasite breakthough/fact (1/1)
.. every day for the next 60 days: from 1962 to 2022! We will provide information on both well-studied & unusual parasites such as Angiostrongylus cantonensis, Echinococcus vogeli, Plasmodium falciparum, Mansonella spp., Hirudo medicinalis (leeches) bed bugs, & more! (2/2).
Today, we begin with 1962! Not only was the @BSPparasitology founded in 1962, but for the first time, the full life cycle of the "eye worm" Thelazia callipaeda was described by D.P. Kozlov in the Proceedings of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Human thelaziasis is an NTD. #parasite Image

Starting with...

SCIENTIST (Covid Special) part 1, jointly awarded to:

@trishgreenhalgh for relentless pursuit of evidence-based masking in the face of persistent trolling

@chrischirp for communicating clever stuff about C19 in a really accessible way

2/13
SCIENTIST (Covid Special) part 2:

@devisridhar for remaining assured & balanced when explaining govt policy & for being positive on social media

@dgurdasani1 for all the above, also in the face of unjust criticism for talking science

Parasites may gross us out, but they are incredibly diverse and hold ecosystems together

From wasps to viruses, parasites are crucial links in a healthy food web. #Ecosystem #wildlife #biodiversity
nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…
parasitism deserves more respect as “an exceptionally successful form of life”. Animals, plants, fungi, bacteria & viruses can all be parasitic, from vampire bats to deep-sea anglerfish, whose tiny males permanently attach themselves to females.
Parasitism is a form of symbiosis—a close relationship between 2 organisms. Some parasites (parasitoids) are deadly to their hosts, many don’t cause major problems. Others will even protect their hosts from other parasites, such as viruses that shield bacteria against antibiotics

Heres the story of how I volunteered to be infected with 50 parasitic worms (hookworm) for a year as part of a research study. Check out this thread & follow me for more #parasite & marine biology content [t]

1st some background on the parasites I got. Hookworms are blood-feeding nematodes that live in the intestine of mammals including cats, dogs & humans. ~500 million people are infected with hookworm, mostly in tropical and subtropical areas including the southern USA
Infection with many worms (100+) can cause anemia, which is most problematic in kids, pregnant women, and the elderly. This clinical study was launched to try to develop a vaccine against hookworms to prevent infection

Happy 2021! @MBVanElzakker and I are excited to share our new article published in #Immunometabolism: “Pathogens Hijack Host Cell Metabolism: Intracellular Infection as a Driver of the Warburg Effect in Cancer and Other Chronic Inflammatory Conditions”: ij.hapres.com/htmls/IJ_1341_…
2/ In the paper, we detail molecular mechanisms by which #viral, #bacterial, and #parasite intracellular pathogens can induce, or contribute to, a Warburg-like #metabolism in infected host cells in order to meet their own replication and nutritional needs.
3/ We also discuss how host defense towards #infection may impact cellular metabolic changes (including how #mitochondria can participate in the innate immune response towards infection)

Parasite movie is not about the contrast in standard of living between rich & poor, it is about surveillance. So does the poster with eye stripe. #Parasite #movies #Films #Cinema #surveillance Image
Moon Gwang mention that she have cut the wire of the surveillance camera to assure Choong Sook that she don't need to worry about her presence.

Oh Geun Sae is a loan defaulter and he have been forced to hide in the basement to avoid tracked by surveillance.
Kim Ki Taek kills Lee and hides in the basement, police couldn't able to track him even though they tried checking through the surveillance cameras in the street.

Either a person is civil loan defaulter or a criminal murderer the surveillance of equal strength is applied by
