Three of a Kind: CDC researchers find Cyclospora is not just a single species. Not too long ago, bench microscopy and O&P were the definitive standard for Cyclospora diagnostics and outbreak investigation. Without culture, molecular methods were too hard. cdc.gov/amd/whats-new/…

1. IgG is a memory antibody & a marker of tolerance 2. “Food sensitivity” tests measure IgG then claim it diagnoses stuff 3. It doesn’t 4. Don’t waste your hard earned 💵 on these unvalidated tests

i feel like there should be signs outside of every single chiropractic clinic that says “the guy who invented chiropractic care said he learned it from a ghost” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Da…

I feel like I need this sign for my lab, cubicle, floor, or entire campus sometimes

I’ve always wanted to find a salmon filet with live anisakids — not to eat of course but for my collection!

It is never bad to repost this video of extraction of cysts of Echinococcus granulosus. #echinococcosis Full #openaccess paper here [2018]: doi.org/10.1051/parasi…

#Parasite Case 725 is up: rash after swimming in a Maine lake😢. Resolved with corticosteroid cream and Benadryl. Most likely diagnosis? Answer later this week! parasitewonders.blogspot.com/2023/09/case-o… #mayopath #pathology #CrittersOnTwitter #PathBugs

Check out these beautiful anisakids! They are commonly found- and often very abundant- in the fishes we study Halmos College of Arts & Sciences as well. They are potential human pathogens and, according to a recent study, their abundance has been increasing since the 50s (doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15…).

Proud to be a small player in this massive response to a fascinating pair of outbreaks! It takes a village… @bhr1us cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

CDC scientists have developed accessible, highly-sensitive, and easy-to-use molecular tools to detect Cyclospora spp. Quickly identifying an outbreak helps trace it back to its source, which protects people from contaminated produce. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37819113/

Tripanosoma brucei

An unusual outbreak in today’s MMWR Outbreak of Trichinella in six individuals who ate raw bear meat that had been frozen for 45 days. Reminder that freezing for 45 days does not negate the need to cook one’s bear meat. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

I won’t spoil it, but one of my favs! The pathology preparation is… rather creative though…

Friday, Funday. This is what we consider...a whole lot of Dientamoeba fragilis! Mostly binucleate forms with variably fragmented karyosomes. #parasitology ARUP Laboratories Bobbi Pritt, MD

Clinicians: Consider #malaria in patients who have traveled to countries where malaria is endemic, or in patients with unexplained fever regardless of travel history. Quick diagnosis & treatment are key. Learn more: bit.ly/3UtKBds
