| gastrointestinal helminths in dogs from a humane shelter in indiana. | between january 1975 and august 1976, the alimentary tracts of 104 euthanatized dogs from a humane shelter in tippecanoe county, indiana, were examined to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths. the survey was restricted to dogs greater than 1 year old. their average age was estimated at approximately 2 years. parasitism was detected in 86.5% of the dogs examined. ancylostoma caninum was found most often (58.7%), followed by trichuris vulpis (51.9%), taenia sp (31.7%), toxocara c ... | 1978 | 721684 |
| helminth parasites of the coyote (canis latrans) in tennessee. | from 1980 to 1984, 267 coyotes (canis latrans) from tennessee were examined for helminth parasites. hearts were examined for the presence of dirofilaria immitis, diaphragms for trichinella spiralis, and digestive tracts for other helminths. six species were found including 5 nematodes (d. immitis, physaloptera rara, trichuris vulpis, ancylostoma caninum, and toxascaris leonina) and 1 cestode (taenia pisiformis). univariate and multivariate statistical techniques were used to assess parasite prev ... | 1987 | 3585628 |
| helminth species diversity and biology in the bobcat, lynx rufus (schreber), from nebraska. | cestodes of 4 species and nematodes of 9 species were collected from 75 bobcats, lynx rufus (schreber), in nebraska from 1977 to 1979. of these 75, 11 were trapped from 6 border counties in 3 border states: south dakota, 7 carcasses/3 counties; kansas, 3/2; and wyoming, 1/1. helminths recovered included: mesocestoides corti hoeppli, 1925 (15% prevalence), taenia rileyi loewen, 1929 (67%), taenia pisiformis (bloch, 1780) gmelin, 1790 (27%), taenia macrocystis (diesing, 1850) lühe, 1910 (19%), phy ... | 1985 | 3998960 |
| population dynamics across selected habitat variables of the helminth community in coyotes, canis latrans, from south texas. | the effects of selected intrinsic variables operating on host subpopulations and of extrinsic variables across the collective host population on the distributions of 10 common helminth species from coyotes in south texas were compared. the intrinsic variables of host sex and presence and severity of sarcoptic mange had little effect on the distributions of most helminth species. the combined influences of (1) seasonal changes across the collective host population and (2) host subpopulations deli ... | 1984 | 6512639 |
| endoparasites and selected infectious agents in bobcats (felis rufus) from west virginia and georgia. | a total of 143 bobcats (felis rufus) from west virginia and 10 bobcats from georgia was examined for parasites and selected infectious agents. a total of 31 species of parasites was recovered including 1 protozoan, 1 trematode, 4 cestodes, 1 acanthocephalan and 24 nematodes. results indicate bobcats are important definitive hosts for sarcocystis sp. and toxoplasma gondii. thirteen species (paragonimus kellicotti, spirometra mansonoides, taenia macrocystis, t. rileyi, capillaria putorii, toxascar ... | 1981 | 6802988 |
| effect of short-term coyote removal on populations of coyote helminths. | coyote (canis latrans) removal programs often are initiated despite the potential population regulatory mechanism of parasitism with increased coyote density. we investigated the effect of intensive, short-term coyote removal on population levels of helminths in juvenile and adult coyotes from western texas. coyotes were killed by aerial gunning every 3 mo for 2 yr on two 5,000 ha areas, which reduced the overall coyote density of these areas by about 50%. two other 5,000 ha areas were used as c ... | 2002 | 11838229 |
| helminths of the ocelot from southern texas. | in the usa, the ocelot (leopardus pardalis) is a highly endangered felid found only in a few remaining vestiges of native thornshrub brushland in the lower rio grande valley (lrgv) of extreme southern texas. from 1987-1998, carcasses of 15 adult ocelots that died of vehicular accidents or natural causes were examined for helminths. all cats had 1-8 (mean = 3) helminth species. all were infected with 1-101 (mean +/- se = 32 +/- 7) toxascaris leonina. other helminths from these ocelots were alaria ... | 2003 | 14567231 |
| gastrointestinal helminths in raccoons in texas. | raccoons (n=590) were collected from october 1999 to august 2003 from 35 counties across texas, and gastrointestinal tracts were examined for helminth parasites. prevalence was calculated and differences in mean abundance were examined among habitat ecoregions, age classes, and between sexes. twenty different species of helminths (13 nematodes, two cestodes, two acanthocephalans, and three trematodes) were positively identified in the gastrointestinal tracts of 590 raccoons in texas. five of the ... | 2009 | 19204330 |
| helminths of the raccoon (procyon lotor) in western kentucky. | seventy raccoons (procyon lotor) from western kentucky were examined for helminths from december 1985 through may 1986. twenty-three species of helminths were collected including 10 species of trematoda (brachylaima virginiana, euryhelmis squamula, eurytrema procyonis, fibricola cratera, gyrosoma singulare, maritreminoides nettae, mesostephanus appendiculatoides, metagonimoides oregonensis, paragonimus kellicotti, pharyngostomoides procyonis), 2 species of cestoda (atriotaenia procyonis, mesoces ... | 1987 | 3625429 |
| proposed field evaluation of a rabies recombinant vaccine for raccoons (procyon lotor): site selection, target species characteristics, and placebo baiting trials. | prior to a limited field application of an orally-administered vaccinia-rabies glycoprotein (v-rg) recombinant virus vaccine for wildlife, background data were obtained for the proposed site on parramore island, virginia (usa). mammalian target and nontarget species, potentially at risk for exposure to vaccine were inventoried. placebo baiting trials with a fishmeal polymer bait resulted in high bait disturbance (88 to 100%), primarily by raccoons (procyon lotor), with infrequent visitation and ... | 1989 | 2810556 |
| helminth parasites of the raccoon (procyon lotor) from north-central arkansas. | twenty-three species of helminths (4 trematodes, 2 cestodes, 14 nematodes, and 3 acanthocephalans) were found in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, pancreas, tongue, urinary bladder, and subcutaneous tissues of 30 live-trapped or hunter-shot raccoons from north-central arkansas between november 1989 and april 1990. helminths were not detected in the brain, diaphragm, gallbladder, heart, liver, reproductive system, or trachea. each raccoon examined was infected with 3 or more of the following hel ... | 1992 | 1738063 |
| endoparasites of the coyote (canis latrans), a recent migrant to insular newfoundland. | this study provides the first data on the helminth fauna of the coyote (canis latrans) in insular newfoundland. sixty-nine coyotes were collected between 2001 and 2003 and examined for helminths. a total of 10 helminth species were recorded: the cestodes taenia ovis krabbei (9%), taenia hydatigena (4%), taenia pisiformis (1%), and mesocestoides spp. (5%); and the nematodes toxocara canis (19%), toxascaris leonina (1%), crenosoma vulpis (19%), physaloptera rara (6%), uncinaria stenocephala (3%), ... | 2009 | 19901402 |
