Automated identification of Monogeneans using digital image processing and K-nearest neighbour approaches.
BACKGROUND: Monogeneans are flatworms (Platyhelminthes) that are primarily found on gills and skin of fishes. Monogenean parasites have attachment appendages at their haptoral regions that help them to move about the body...
Helminth-microbiota cross-talk - A journey through the vertebrate digestive system.
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract of vertebrates is inhabited by a vast array of organisms, i.e., the microbiota and macrobiota. The former is composed largely of commensal microorganisms, which play vital roles in host nutrition...
