Can’t tell if it looks more like Plantera (Terraria) or some baby Demagorgon (DnD/Stranger Things)

Fuck off! Tapeworms scare the shit out of me.

Seems like March 2025 has been an exciting month for parasitology. This and the non breathing myxozoan are rather unusual finds

aramova@infosec.pub on 18 Mar 19:05 next collapse

Don’t forget the largest parasite found to date is having its moment right now as well, the genus of Muskusfucksus.

Wow, TIL about this!

That’s very similar to the myxozoan I read about the other day. The more you know

Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee on 18 Mar 21:34 next collapse

So aliens, right?

Or are we the invasive alien species?

Ledericas@lemm.ee on 19 Mar 08:36 collapse

Myxozoan are common parasite of salmonid fish, has to do with them being farmer situation.

Acanthecephalon is also the unusual one, I had the chance of dissecting sand crabs which are filled with these parasites

floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 18 Mar 18:57 next collapse

Is it trying to speedrun turning into a crab by skipping wayy too many steps?

Rofl, peak evolutioning!

Everything ends up crab or turtle in the end.

Don’t put that into some people water or vaccine, please.

Stingrays like many sharks have spiral valve intestines, which is crazy since each turn can have a different parasite species attached
