Descripción

This volume brings together critical insights into the biology, epidemiology, and diagnostics of major parasitic threats to both veterinary and human health. Chapter One explores the complex world of equine cyathostomins, addressing their lifecycle, clinical manifestations such as acute larval cyathostominosis, immune interactions, and the challenges posed by widespread anthelmintic resistance. Building upon the necessity for precise diagnostic tools, Chapter Two shifts the focus to human health, re-evaluating soil-transmitted helminth diagnostics in the genomic era. The authors highlight how unaddressed genetic diversity in diagnostic target regions can compromise traditional and molecular tools like qPCR, risking "diagnostic escape," and advocate for integrating whole-genome sequencing and nemabiome approaches into public health surveillance. Finally, Chapter Three provides a comprehensive, One Health-driven synthesis on zoonotic sarcocystosis, addressing how Sarcocystis species cross ecological boundaries between wildlife, livestock, companion animals, and humans.

Cinzia Cantacessi

Cinzia Cantacessi is Professor of Parasite Infection Biology at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge (UK). Cinzia completed a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the University of Bari (Italy) in 2006, and a PhD in Molecular Parasitology at The University of Melbourne (2011). In 2012, Cinzia received a Peter Doherty Early Career Research Fellowship by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia to continue her research on the molecular bases of host-parasite interactions at the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine at James Cook University in Cairns. In 2013, Cinzia relocated to the Cambridge Vet School where she continues her research on mechanisms of host-parasite interactions using cutting-edge molecular tools.

Cinzia’s research focus is the study of the molecular interactions occurring at the host-parasite interface, and specifically the ability of helminth parasites to modify the structure and function of the host gut flora to their advantage, with a particular emphasis on gastrointestinal helminths of public health and veterinary significance.

To date, Cinzia has authored or co-authored >140 publications in high-ranking, scientific journals in the field of Parasitology and beyond, and delivered several invited talks at national and international meetings worldwide.
