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: https://t.co/sGKN8w5Zh9

Friday, Funday. This is what we consider...a whole lot of Dientamoeba fragilis! Mostly binucleate forms with variably fragmented karyosomes.

@Parasite_Power @ARUPLabs @ParasiteGal Awesome slide!!

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

#Parasite case 750 is up – passed per rectum in a child from Ethiopia. What is your diagnosis? https://t.co/CEijYtiTHQ #mayopath #pathology #CrittersOnTwitter #PathBugs

An unusual outbreak in today’s @CDCMMWR

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.

@CDCgov 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. https://t.co/PnCMYKlm4l

#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! https://t.co/Dvo0EeLKut #mayopath #pathology #CrittersOnTwitter #PathBugs

Check out these beautiful anisakids! They are commonly found- and often very abundant- in the fishes we study @nsuhcas as well. They are potential human pathogens and, according to a recent study, their abundance has been increasing since the 50s (https://t.co/XPEs40B3II).

It is never bad to repost this video of extraction of cysts of Echinococcus granulosus.

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”

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

[Keith Siau @drkeithsiau]

What is the name given to this worm? 🪱

[Sarah Sapp @secernentea]

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

[Sarah Sapp @secernentea]

@DrNeilStone Works for these guys too

[Sarah Sapp @secernentea]

@dmaccannell @DrJessChen @JoelyBarratt No worries! I make it harder since my handle isn’t my personal name but rather a long deprecated taxonomic one
