| proteomic analysis of taenia hydatigena cyst fluid reveals unique internal microenvironment. | taenia hydatigena is a parasitic flatworm that is widely distributed around the world. using ms/ms, the proteome of t. hydatigena cyst fluid (cf) was profiled and a total of 520 proteins were identified, 430 of which were of sheep origin. t. hydatigena shared 37 parasite-origin and 109 host-origin cf proteins with echinococcus granulosus. compared with e. granulosus, t. hydatigena had much more cf proteins associated with amino acid synthesis and complement cascades. in addition, glutamate metab ... | 2017 | 28837787 |
| the impact of socio-cultural factors on transmission of taenia spp. and echinococcus granulosus in kosovo. | echinococcus granulosus sensu latu (s.l.) and taenia hydatigena are common parasites of ruminant intermediate hosts in the balkans. transmission is linked mainly to home slaughtering and the feeding of infected organs to dogs. in kosovo, many old sheep are slaughtered particularly during eid al-adha (feast of sacrifice). to determine whether this tradition could affect parasite transmission, we compared the probability of 504 dogs to contract taenid infections after deworming during one period b ... | 2017 | 28799892 |
| evaluation of microsatellites markers to discriminate four main taeniid tapeworms of dogs. | echinococcus granulosus, taenia multiceps, taenia ovis and taenia hydatigena are among the most prevalent taeniid species of dogs. these tapeworms infect ruminant and humans as intermediate hosts and domestic/wild carnivores as the definitive hosts. molecular tools using hypervariable microsatellite regions might provide more information about parasite variation. highly variable and specific tools are needed for transmission tracking studies of canine echinococcosis as an essential element for i ... | 2017 | 28761491 |
