Those with an infection can experience frequent, painful bowel movements that can contain blood, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

The new study, published on Jan. 20 in the journal "Mucosal Immunology," focused on how worm infection and western diets — often highly-processed foods containing high levels of refined sugars and fat — interact. "Just like the UK, the cheapest diets are often high in fat and at-risk communities to whipworm are increasingly utilizing these cheap diets," lead author Dr.

Lonely tunes: Fewer humpback whales wail as population grows, study finds

WASHINGTON - Those melancholy tunes sung by humpback whales may really be a sign of loneliness.Scientists who tracked humpback whales in Australia noticed that fewer whales wailed to find mates as their population grew."Humpback whale song is loud and travels far in the ocean," said marine biologist Rebecca Dunlop, who has studied humpback whales that breed near the Great Barrier Reef for more than two decades.As whale numbers dramatically rebounded following the end of commercial whaling — one of the world’s great conservation success stories — she noticed something unexpected.(Credit: The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies Gulf Port Mississippi)"It was getting more difficult to actually find singers," said Dunlop, who is based at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. "When there were fewer of them, there was a lot of singing — now that there are lots of them, no need to be singing so much."Scientists first began to hear and study the elaborate songs of humpback whales in the 1970s, thanks to new underwater microphones.
