Hi! I was scrolling through your posts just now and saw your note about liking parasitology - i do, too! It was always one of my favourite parts of studying biology. What would you say if your 'favourite' parasite then? (i must admit I am impossibly fascinated by every aspect of Ascaris lumbricoides' whole deal - the lifecycle, how widespread it is, how resistant the eggs are... Also, they're just so beautiful inside, a cross-section of make makes for a very appealing image? Almost perfect of a being!)
I completely agree that going down the roundworm rabbit hole is shockingly fascinating. I literally love reading about historic research about ascaris in humans because so many early scientists ate worm eggs just to be like “see now there are these worms in my poop how crazy is that” lol. I got to present research on equine roundworms at a conference a few years ago and while they’re not as flashy as some other roundworms they’re still absolutely remarkable in the efficiency of their lifecycle. I got in trouble when I was working as an equine vet tech because I kept gushing to owners about how cool various horse parasites are, and obviously most horse owners do not agree with that stance.
It’s so hard to pick just one parasite as a favorite! I love all pentastomids, the tiny-but-mighty screwworm fascinates me, and and I find myself thinking about toxoplasmosis gondii all the time. I went as a lone star tick for Halloween year before last and I’m fond of the Guinea worm too for the historical relevance. Someday I will do superlatives for all my faves and hand out titles for most interesting, scariest, funniest, most nostalgic, etc. There will probably be a LOT of honorable mentions

First molecular data on the human roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides species complex from the Bronze and Iron Age in Hallstatt, Austria
Published 25th July 2023
Study on Human feces conserved in salt, dating back to 1158-1063 BCE and 750-662 BCE, found in Hallstatt (a prehistoric salt mine) located in the Austrian. Microscopy and molecular methods are used to locate intestinal parasites and recovery of ancient DNA is performed, revealing first appearance of the roundworm Acaris Lumbricoides from the bronze and iron age.

Acaris and Trichuris eggs
A morphological only analysis indicates that the eggs belong to Trichuris trichiura or Trichuris suis, and Ascaris lumbricoides or Ascaris suum.
DNA analysis revealed the Ascaris eggs belonged to Ascaris lumbricoides and the Trichuris eggs were not identifiable due to DNA degradation.

Jika anak Anda menunjukkan gejala-gejala cacingan, penting untuk segera memeriksakannya ke dokter. Dokter akan melakukan pemeriksaan untuk menentukan jenis cacing yang menginfeksi dan memberikan pengobatan yang tepat.
Pengobatan cacingan biasanya dilakukan dengan pemberian obat cacing yang diminum. Obat cacing yang umum digunakan untuk anak-anak adalah albendazole dan mebendazole. Obat ini aman dan efektif untuk mengatasi berbagai jenis cacing parasit.

January 31, 2023 - Tuesday
Hello! Last day of January and last blog for the month of January! Actually, magbloblog ako last Sunday but I don't have energy to do it because I am so tired, and I am so pissed about certain happenings in my life. Ayoko ikwento here kasi iinit lang ulo ko pero baka magsabi lang ako ng slight.
SO, what happened to my second week of 2nd Sem? Mhie, second week palang pero yung pagod ko pang 3rd yr 1st sem na, chariz. HAHAHAHAHA. No, masaya naman ang 2nd week ko kasi may mga groupings na like sa CPH Lab may group activity kami last Wed and need ng handwritten yung output and isa ako sa mga fersons na nagsulat ng mga outputs namin. Ayoko talaga magsulat pero need ng tulong so ayon nagvolunteer ako since wala din ako masyadong naitulong sa ibang bagay. Research about sakit sya at ano yung impact ganorn ganorn, naghelp ako sa sagot sa isang question kasama friend ko then yung napuntang sakit sakin which is HIV/AIDS siya so madali lang.
Wednesday ang CPH Lab namin and ayon lang yung F2F class namin every Wed and the rest of our classes will be held online so that means uuwi ako ng bahay HAHAHAHA. Nakakapagod lang magbyahe talaga pero kakayanin para sa school at para makatapos at makapagwork. After non, Thursday full online kami magsisimula ng 1PM hanggang 8PM tapos sa Friday full F2F----so last week, group activity din siya and Histology Lab sya ibig sabihin may gagawin na!! First time namin makahawak ng microscope----for the first time in a while since nakahawak na ako microscope way back elementary hanggang senior high school. So amazed kami kasi nakita namin yung mga amazing fersons sa microscopes!! Ang napuntang slide sa amin ay cardiac muscle and ang amazing niya! We even used the new microscope of our department and mas lalo kaming na-amaze kasi mas malinaw at mas defined yung mga parts sa bagong microscope! Grabe tuwang tuwa kami T^T kasi kami yung unang mga students na nakahawak ng microscope.
Syempre mga nakasuot ng lab gown/coat and muka po akong naliligaw na bata na nakasuot ng lab coat sa school----jusq po. HAHAHAHAHA. Sabado, yes may class kami ng Saturday. May laboratory ulit and this time ang chineck namin ay mga parasites! Specifically, sina Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and Enterobius vermicularis! Ang astig talaga! Huhu! Sabi ng mga 3rd yr magsasawa daw kami sa microscope since ayan yung bestfriend namin HAHAHAHAHHAHA.
Ano pa ba? Hmmm so something happened and nainis ako kasi hindi siya nag-ask sa mga persons about certain things basta na lang siya nainis samin, worst sinungitan ako kasi 'akala' niya hindi namin ginawa yon. Doon ako nainis kasi bakit hindi siya nagtanong muna bago nagsungit? Beh you can ask someone naman before you assume na ganon ginawa namin. Akala ko ba be open tapos ikaw din pala yung nag-aassume sa mga bagay bagay. Tapos naging issue pa yung ig story ko, lol. Hindi ko kailangan iinsert sa mga pictures niyo para masabi na hindi ako 'left out' sa group. I can stand on my own and I don't need validation to someone para maassure ko na tama ba ginagawa ko. I just need validation sa sarili ko na ako lang makakapagvalidate. Nakakasawa din kasi maging mabait tapos nanggagago lang mga kasama mo.
Anyway, ayon langz. Next blog ulit ay Feb na!! And expect na may ibloblog talaga ako since Valentine's Day, may event din sa department namin plus prelim exams!! Wieeee!! <3
See you again! Leave a question if curious ka! <3
Song of the Day: I ≠ DOLL - HUH YUNJIN
