Gastrointestinal nematodes, especially Haemonchus contortus, threaten small ruminant health, welfare, and productivity through anemia, production losses, and anthelmintic resistance. This opinion article presents digital parasitology as a framework to strengthen targeted selective treatment and integrated parasite management. We synthesize advances in AI-based FAMACHA scoring, smartphone hematocrit imaging, bioelectrical impedance analysis, radiofrequency sensing, radiofrequency identification-supported behavior monitoring, WebGIS decision support, and nutraceutical forage planning. These tools should not replace classical parasitology or veterinary judgment, but they can improve consistency, scalability, and farm-level decision-making. Key challenges include validation, affordability, explainability, model drift, device standardization, bias, veterinary oversight, and adoption. Digital tools could shift parasite control from blanket and/or reactive deworming to predictive, AI-guided prevention.

The Trump Administration aims to “identify gaps in our knowledge.” But it's not clear this investigation will add much to the conversation beyond what scientific studies have already shown.

In a post on X, Kennedy said the investigation would “identify gaps in our knowledge and make sure that federal policy keeps pace with rapidly changing technology.” Members of the public, scientists, and really anyone with a view on this issue are invited to respond to the inquiry. Not all radiation is created equal “Radiation” sounds scary, of course it does, and there are definitely forms of radiation humans should stay away from as much as we possibly can. Gamma rays are the clearest example. These are a form of ionizing radiation that can damage body tissues and cause genetic mutations, so even small doses can be deadly. Even X-rays, despite their obvious usefulness in medicine, pose risks that mean we must limit people's exposure to them. Radio frequencies, on the other hand, are non-ionizing and approximately a billion times less powerful, so they can't cause tissue or DNA damage in the same way. That’s a good thing, because we’re exposed to RF emissions all the time. <span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display:...

The cerebellum has garnered increasing interest as a promising deep brain stimulation (DBS) target for dyskinetic cerebral palsy and other conditions such as cerebellar ataxia and stroke. Functional MRI of cerebellar stimulation can facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying symptom response; however, evidence regarding its safety and feasibility is lacking. In this report, we first assessed the risk of radiofrequency-induced heating through simulations informed by postoperative CT images from 3 patients with distinct cerebellar DBS hardware orientations. Following heating estimates, and as part of an ongoing trial ([NCT06122675][1]), we then collected 3 functional MRI runs in one anesthetized patient with DBS turned ON, turned OFF, and cycled ON/OFF in 30-second intervals. Simulations suggested acceptable heating under our scanner and sequence conditions, with peak temperature increases ranging from 0.6°C–1.5°C. Preliminary stimulation-induced brain activations and functional connectivity changes appeared consistent with the underlying structural anatomy.
