| gastrointestinal parasites of cougars (felis concolor) in washington and the first report of ollulanus tricuspis in a sylvatic felid from north america. | gastrointestinal helminths including two species of cestodes (taenia omissa and t. ovis krabbei) and three species of nematodes (toxocara cati, cylicospirura subequalis and ollulanus tricuspis) are reported from two free-ranging cougars (felis concolor) in washington (usa). ollulanus tricuspis is reported for the first time from cougars and represents the first occurrence of this parasite in a sylvatic felid from north america. | 1992 | 1548792 |
| survey of hepatic and pulmonary helminths of wild cervids in alberta, canada. | during the 1988 hunting season, livers and lungs from 263 mule deer (odocoileus hemionus hemionus), 198 moose (alces alces), 147 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus), and 94 wapiti (cervus elaphus nelsoni) from alberta (canada) were collected for parasitological examination. most of the samples (89%) were submitted by big game hunters throughout the province. giant liver fluke (fascioloides magna) was found in 9% of 22 yearling and 29% of 65 adult wapiti; 4% of 161 adult moose; and 2% of 9 ... | 1990 | 2250321 |
| cysticerci (cestoda: taeniidae) from white-tailed deer, odocoileus virginianus, in southern florida. | metacestodes (cysticerci) of taenia omissa lühe, 1910, and taenia hydatigena pallas, 1776, were found in 9 and 1 of 124 white-tailed deer, respectively, in southern florida in 1984-1986. intensities of t. omissa varied from 1 to 15 (mean = 4.6); only 1 cysticercus of t. hydatigena was collected. no significant difference in the prevalences of t. omissa according to sex, age, or locality was observed. | 1990 | 2380871 |
| gastrointestinal helminths of free-ranging florida panthers (puma concolor coryi) and the efficacy of the current anthelmintic treatment protocol. | thirty-five florida panthers (puma concolor coryi [bangs, 1899]) collected from six counties in southern florida between 1978 and 2003 were examined at necropsy for gastrointestinal helminths. the panthers were placed into two groups: 1) treated with anthelmintics (n = 17), and 2) untreated (n = 18). nine species of helminths (one trematode, six nematodes, and two cestodes) were identified in the untreated panthers. the most prevalent helminths were alaria marcianae (larue, 1917) (100%), spirome ... | 2006 | 16870865 |
| molecular and morphological evidence of taenia omissa in pumas (puma concolor) in the peruvian highlands. | a total of 41 cestodes were collected during necropsy examination on 2 pumas (puma concolor) that were found in 2 communities in canchis province, cuzco region, peru, at 4500 meters above sea level (peruvian andes). the cestodes were evaluated morphologically and molecularly. a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) was used as a genetic marker. all the cestodes were identified as taenia omissa. in the present report, we give a brief description by molecular and ... | 2016 | 27580394 |
