Cardiopulmonary nematodes (CPN) are among the most pathogenic helminths, with wild carnivores serving as hosts for a variety of species. Knowledge of their presence in the Iberian Peninsula is limited...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a leading approach for deciphering the complexity and heterogeneity of RNA transcripts among individual cells. The technique has revolutionized helminthology by offering critical insights into helminth cell and developmental biology, host–helminth interactions, and the underlying mechanisms involved in the immunopathology of helminth infections. scRNA-seq facilitates the identification of novel anti-helminth targets for therapeutic and prophylactic intervention. This review presents an overview of scRNA-seq and highlights its applications in the field of helminthology. Despite certain limitations and challenges, the technique has the potential for further improvement and integration with other methodologies, such as single-cell multi-omics, showing a promising perspective in transforming helminth research.
