The Effect of Pyrantel Pamoate Treatment on Fecal Pinworm (Leidynema appendiculata) Parasites of Dietary Dubia Roaches (Blaptica dubia): Efforts to Eliminate Passthrough Fecal Pseudoparasites in Lesser Hedgehog Tenrecs (Echinops telfairi)
Browder, E., Kapp, S., Heugten, K. A.-van, Flowers, J., Christian, L. S., & Dombrowski, D. S. (2023, February 10). Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, Vol. 4, pp. 146–157.

topics (OpenAlex): Helminth infection and control; Parasite Biology and Host Interactions; Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies
TL;DR:
This is the first report confirming a passthrough pseudoparasite in tenrecs from dubia roaches, and anthelmintic dosage research is warranted.
