| extraintestinal nematodes of the red fox vulpes vulpes in north-west italy. | extraintestinal nematodes of the red fox (vulpes vulpes) are a wide group of parasites that infect wild and domestic carnivores and occasionally humans. nematodes in the cardiopulmonary system, stomach, urinary apparatus and muscle tissue of 165 red foxes (vulpes vulpes) from north-west italy (liguria and piedmont) were investigated between 2009 and 2012. of the cardiopulmonary nematodes, a high prevalence of angiostrongylus vasorum and eucoleus aerophilus (syn. capillaria aerophila) was found, ... | 2015 | 24725462 |
| prevalence of angiostrongylus vasorum and crenosomo vulpis in dogs in bavaria. | worldwide there is increasing awareness of canine lung worm infection in many geographic areas. especially the metastrongyloid nematode angiostrongylus (a.) vasorum is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate in infected dogs. other pulmonary parasites in dogs include the common fox parasite crenosoma (c.) vulpis, and the pulmonary parasites filaroides (oslerus) osleri, filaroides hirthi, and the capillarid lungworms eucoleus aerophilus (capillaria aerophila) and eucoleus boehmi. aim ... | 2013 | 23367670 |
| ribosomal and mitochondrial dna analysis of trichuridae nematodes of carnivores and small mammals. | several species of trichuridae nematodes can infect dogs, cats and wild mammals. the diagnosis of these infections relies on the microscopic identification of eggs which are characterized by a similar "lemon" shape and polar plugs in all trichuridae. thus, morphological diagnosis to species level is challenging. the use of biomolecular diagnostic methods is desirable but very little genetic data are known from trichuridae of carnivores and small mammals. the aim of this work was to genetically c ... | 2013 | 23920054 |
| domestic dog as a human health hazard in north of iran. | an epidemiological study was conducted to determine the prevalence of helminthic parasites of domestic dogs using stool samples in north of iran in 2013. stool samples (n = 100) were collected from domestic dogs of different ages and genders. different techniques including wet smear, formalin-ether sedimentation method and flotation technique in saturated zinc chloride solution were performed on collected stools to detect eggs and larval stage of helminthes parasites. the overall prevalence of h ... | 2016 | 27605812 |

| genetic variability of eucoleus aerophilus from domestic and wild hosts. | eucoleus aerophilus (syn. capillaria aerophila) is a trichuroid nematode affecting domestic and wild carnivores and, sometimes, humans. this parasite has a worldwide distribution and may cause significant clinical disease in pet animals. the present paper investigates the sequence variation in partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene of e. aerophilus isolates from pets and wild animals from different countries. forty-four egg pools of e. aerophilus were collected from dog ... | 2014 | 24746287 |
| first report of eucoleus boehmi (syn. capillaria boehmi) in dogs in north-western italy, with scanning electron microscopy of the eggs. | dogs can be infected by several nematodes of the trichuridae family. trichuridae eggs are all similar, barrel shaped with polar plugs, and misdiagnosis among different species can occur. the most common species is trichuris vulpis, while the respiratory parasites eucoleus boehmi (syn. capillaria boehmi) and eucoleus aerophilus (syn. capillaria aerophila) are rarely observed in pets. e. boehmi is reported for the first time in this study in north-western italy with other trichuridae. dog faecal s ... | 2012 | 23193529 |
| efficacy and safety of imidacloprid 10%/moxidectin 1% spot-on formulation in the treatment of feline infection by capillaria aerophila. | the nematode capillaria aerophila (trichuroidea, trichuridae) affects the respiratory system of cats and other animals and occasionally of human beings. infected cats may show bronchovesicular sounds, inflammation, sneezing, wheezing and, chronic cough and, sometimes, bronchopneumonia and respiratory failure. the present study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the antiparasitic spot-on formulation containing imidacloprid 10%/moxidectin 1 % (advocate®, bayer animal health) in the treatment of ... | 2012 | 22782476 |
| mixed trichuroid infestation in a dog from italy. | capillaria aerophila, capillaria boehmi and trichuris vulpis are trichuroid nematodes affecting wild and companion animals all over the world. the canine intestinal whipworm, t. vulpis, is the most common and well- known in veterinary practice, whereas the respiratory c. aerophila and c. boehmi have been rarely reported in pets as a likely consequence of overlapping morphometric and morphological features of the eggs, which impair a correct etiological diagnosis. | 2012 | 22731958 |
| molecular detection of capillaria aerophila, an agent of canine and feline pulmonary capillariosis. | capillaria aerophila, a trichuroid nematode causing pulmonary infections in wild and domestic carnivores, is occasionally and potentially poorly recognized in infections of humans due to clinicopathological mimicry and a lack of accurate, robust laboratory diagnostics. the present work evaluated the efficiency of a dna-based assay amplifying a partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene of c. aerophila in the diagnosis of lung capillariosis. fecal samples from 34 dogs and 10 cats positive ... | 2012 | 22442326 |
