While parasites were previously studied mainly in the context of veterinary medicine or zoonoses, their consideration as integral components of ecosystems and food webs is now regarded as essential for understanding ecological processes.<br \/>\nAmphibians were among the first vertebrates to be examined for their parasites; however, such investigations have largely declined in recent decades, particularly in the context of the ongoing global amphibian decline. Collecting a sufficient number of host specimens is now often impossible without jeopardizing populations or conflicting with conservation measures. Consequently, a knowledge gap has emerged in Europe regarding amphibian parasitology. This gap is characterized by outdated taxonomy, a lack of molecular data, and insufficient knowledge of intermediate hosts, leaving the field behind studies on other freshwater organisms. Amphibians, however, serve as important definitive and intermediate hosts for a wide range of parasites, especially parasitic worms (helminths), and often form an ecological bridge between aquatic and terrestrial habitats.<br \/>\n<!-- -->With the new threat posed by chytrid fungi and the advent of non-invasive and molecular methods for monitoring organisms, interest in amphibian parasitology has been rekindled. The parasite fauna of the fire salamander (<em>Salamandra salamandra<\/em>), has so far been investigated only sporadically, often based on few individuals from isolated populations. Studies of wild populations in Germany date back primarily to the early 20th century. Considering the species\u2019 wide distribution, unique life history, numerous subspecies, and isolated populations, a comprehensive study of its parasite fauna would be of great scientific interest.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;779491&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;192831&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-12345678901&#8243; type=&#8221;carousel&#8221; medias=&#8221;161555,161548,161556,161557&#8243; carousel_lg=&#8221;1&#8243; carousel_md=&#8221;1&#8243; carousel_sm=&#8221;1&#8243; thumb_size=&#8221;three-two&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|nolink|original,icon,caption,description&#8221; carousel_interval=&#8221;0&#8243; carousel_navspeed=&#8221;400&#8243; carousel_loop=&#8221;yes&#8221; stage_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; single_text=&#8221;under&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_overlay_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_text_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; single_text_reduced=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;400783&#8243;][uncode_carousel_nav skin=&#8221;dark&#8221; position=&#8221;absolute&#8221; padding=&#8221;0&#8243; v_align=&#8221;middle&#8221; h_align=&#8221;center&#8221; arrows_skin=&#8221;dark&#8221; arrows_position=&#8221;el_absolute&#8221; arrows_v_align=&#8221;middle&#8221; arrows_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; arrow_style=&#8221;round&#8221; arrow_bg_size=&#8221;sm&#8221; icon=&#8221;fa fa-arrow-right2&#8243; arrow_size=&#8221;fa-075x&#8221; dots_position=&#8221;el_absolute&#8221; dots_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; dots_look=&#8221;raw&#8221; hide_counter=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;134987&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;100148&#8243;]Examination for helminth parasites<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;176079&#8243;]To address these knowledge gaps and initiate a parasitological investigation of several fire salamander populations in Germany, researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen, funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU), are currently examining three populations for helminth parasites. For this purpose, individuals that have succumbed to <em>Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans<\/em> (<em>Bsal<\/em>) infection or were killed by traffic are dissected. The resulting data will expand existing parasite databases with morphological and molecular information.<br \/>\nThese findings will serve as a foundation for developing monitoring methods that do not rely on the killing of host animals and thus allow the examination of healthy fire salamander populations in Germany and across Europe. Following the taxonomic identification of the detected parasites, further insights into their life cycles are expected, shedding light on their ecological roles within the food webs and ecosystems associated with the fire salamander. In addition, their potential suitability as bioindicators for the ecology of salamander habitats will be evaluated.<br \/>\nIn later stages of the project, other amphibian species and their parasites will also be included. Findings and challenges related to European amphibian helminths, together with a comprehensive list of helminths and their hosts documented in Europe, can be found in the project\u2019s first publication: &#8216;<a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.pt.2025.09.005\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amphibian helminths in Europe revisited: taxonomy, threats, and ecological insights<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243;
