| The overlapping geographical distribution of malaria and helminth infections has led to several studies investigating the effect of co-infections by these parasites on the host. We investigated the impact of Necator americanus and Plasmodium falciparum co-infection on haemoglobin level and albendazole treatment outcome among infected individuals in Ghana. Hookworm-P. falciparum co-infection was associated with significantly reduced blood haemoglobin level (p=0.0057) and an increased odd (OR=6.44, 95%CI=1.31-53.97, p=0.042) of individuals remaining hookworm infected two weeks post-albendazole treatment. P. falciparum co-infection with hookworm may increase albendazole treatment failure. The possible implications on control programs and mechanisms underlying this phenomenon warrant further studies.

| This study was aimed to identify Schistocephalus solidus in three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus (Teleostei: Gasterosteidae) and to describe infection parameters and pathology. Three-spined stickleback specimens were collected between October 2019 to September 2020 in Gökpınar Spring (Dalaman River basin-Turkey). The highest elevation record of the common cestod parasite of three-spined stickleback has been found in this environment. Gross examination revealed that abdominal swelling was the most common finding. Cachexia and growth retartion were common in infected fishes. During the necropsy parasites were localized at the abdominal cavity. At the histopathological examination of the parasite, marked inflammatory reaction and fibrous tissue proliferation were observed. This study result showed that Schistocephalus solidus can cause marked pathological findings in infected threespined stickleback.
