| transmission of calicophoron daubneyi and fasciola hepatica in galicia (spain): temporal follow-up in the intermediate and definitive hosts. | paramphistomosis caused by calicophoron daubneyi and fasciolosis caused by fasciola hepatica are common parasitic diseases of livestock animals. transmission of the diseases depends on the presence of intermediate hosts, i.e. freshwater gastropods such as lymnaeids. we carried out a 2-year-long study of the dynamics of the snail population acting as the intermediate host for these parasites, considering the population structure in terms of size/age and infection status. in addition, we determine ... | 2016 | 27894356 |
| bovine paramphistomosis in galicia (spain): prevalence, intensity, aetiology and geospatial distribution of the infection. | the present study explored various basic aspects of the epidemiology of paramphistomosis in galicia, the main cattle producing region in spain. in total, 589 cows from different farms located across the region were selected at random in the slaughterhouse for examination of the rumens and reticula for the presence of paramphistomidae flukes. paramphistomes were found in 111 of 589 necropsied cows (18.8%; 95% ci: 15.7-21.9%), with higher prevalences of infection in beef cows than in dairy cows (2 ... | 2013 | 23022489 |
| infection by paramphistomidae trematodes in cattle from two agricultural regions in nw uruguay and nw spain. | the analysis of infection by paramphistomidae trematodes was conducted in two agricultural regions with different knowledge on this parasitosis. faecal and blood samples were collected from 374 cattle in salto (nw uruguay) where there is a lack of information about paramphistomosis. a total of 429 cattle from galicia (nw spain), an area with previous records of infection by gastric flukes, were sampled. diagnostics of trematodosis was developed by using a copromicroscopic probe and an elisa with ... | 2013 | 22902261 |
