Global status of fish-borne zoonotic trematodiasis in humans

Nguyễn Mạnh Hùng, Henry Madsen, Bernard Fried · 1 Jan 2013

Fishborne zoonotic trematodes (FZT), infecting humans and mammals worldwide, are reviewed and options for control discussed. Fifty nine species belonging to 4 families, i.e. Opisthorchiidae (12 species), Echinostomatidae (10 species), Heterophyidae (36 species) and Nanophyetidae (1 species) are listed. Some trematodes, which are highly pathogenic for humans such as Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchis viverrini, O. felineus…

The phylogeny of the Lepocreadioidea (Platyhelminthes, Digenea) inferred from nuclear and mitochondrial genes: Implications for their systematics and evolution

Rodney Bray, Andrea Waeschenbach, Thomas H. Cribb et al. · 1 Jan 2009

Abstract The phylogenetic relationships of representative species of the superfamily Lepocreadioidea were assessed using partial lsrDNA and nad1 sequences. Forty-two members of the family Lepocreadiidae, six putative members of the Enenteridae, six gyliauchenid species and one Gorgocephalidae, were studied along with 22 species representing 8 families. The Lepocreadioidea is found to be monophyletic, except for…

Human dirofilariasis due to Dirofilaria repens in Ukraine, an emergent zoonosis: epidemiological report of 1465 cases

Rusłan Sałamatin, Tamara Pavlikovska, Olga Sagach et al. · 1 Jan 2013

The filarial nematode Dirofilaria repens is currently considered to be one of the most extensively spreading human and animal parasites in Europe. In Ukraine, reporting cases of dirofilariasis has been mandatory since 1975, and the disease was included in the national surveillance system for notifiable diseases. Up until December 31st 2012, a total of 1533…

In search of mitochondrial markers for resolving the phylogeny of cyclophyllidean tapeworms (Platyhelminthes, Cestoda) — a test study with Davaineidae

D. Timothy J. Littlewood, Andrea Waeschenbach, Pavel Nikolov · 1 Jan 2008

Abstract The most species rich order of tapeworms is the Cyclophyllidea and prior to wide-scale sampling of these worms for phylogenetics, we wished to develop reliable PCR primers that would capture fragments of mitochondrial (mt) DNA with phylogenetic utility across the order. Nuclear ribosomal RNA gene sequences are well-established and valuable markers for resolving flatworm…

Genetic diversity of avian blood parasites in SE Europe: Cytochrome b lineages of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus (Haemosporida) from Bulgaria

Dimitar Dimitrov, Pavel Zehtindjiev, Staffan Bensch · 1 Jan 2010

Abstract We used a nested PCR protocol to examine the genetic diversity of cytochrome b (cyt b) lineages from blood parasites of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus in birds in Bulgaria. In total, 460 birds of 43 species and 14 families (mostly passerines) were examined for the presence of infections. Of them, 267 were recognised…

Acta Parasitologica template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Acta Parasitologica format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Acta Parasitologica template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Acta Parasitologica use?
Acta Parasitologica uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Acta Parasitologica 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Acta Parasitologica?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Acta Parasitologica document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Acta Parasitologica template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Acta Parasitologica format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Acta Parasitologica?
Acta Parasitologica is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Acta Parasitologica template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Acta Parasitologica PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Acta Parasitologica template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Acta Parasitologica template cost?
You can start writing in the Acta Parasitologica template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Acta Parasitologica PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
