Favourite Parasite: The whipworm. Despite the morbidity associated with these worms, under the microscope they are actually quite beautiful, with an elegant front end which embeds within its host. Whipworms still hold so many secrets - there is so much we don’t understand about this worm’s biology.

Wild mice show large, robust T‑cell receptor repertoires that stay broad across age and sex, while older mice develop more dominant clones, likely from lifelong pathogen exposure. A fascinating look at how immunity adapts in natural environments. vist.ly/4wxid
