| the anthelmintic efficacy of resorantel against houttuynia struthionis in ostriches. | resorantel at a dosage rate of 130 mg kg-1 live body mass was found to be highly effective against houttuynia struthionis in ostriches when dosed alone or in combination with fenbendazole or levamisole. | 1988 | 3210222 |
| anthelmintic efficacy of fenbendazole against libyostrongylus douglassi and houttuynia struthionis in ostriches. | fenbendazole at a dosage rate of 15 mg fbz per kg body mass, was 99,7% effective against adult and 82,5% effective against 4th stage larvae (l4) of libyostrongylus douglassi. fenbendazole at the same dose removed scolices and strobila of houttuynia struthionis from 4 out of 5 treated birds and in the other there were only degenerating scolices, but all 5 untreated control birds were positive for h. struthionis. | 1985 | 3999107 |
| a scanning electron-microscope examination of the scolex of houttuynia struthionis. | a scanning electron-microscope examination of the scolex of houttuynia struthionis, a cestode of ostriches, was undertaken in order to study its surface structure. the scolex differs from those of other subfamilies in the family davaineidae in that it does not have scale-like spines covering the base of the rostellum. instead, the base is covered with small hooks resembling the larger rostellar hooks in shape. | 1997 | 9204503 |
| parasites from farmed ostriches (struthio camelus) and rheas (rhea americana) in europe. | during a 4-year-period, more than 500 ostriches and several rheas, all born in european countries and raised in spain and portugal, have been analyzed for the presence of ectoparasites and endoparasites. a total of 29 parasite species have been found, most of them of the gastrointestinal tract. some of the helminth species found may represent spureous parasitosis, as only the eggs (of an ascarid and a trematode) were found in some samples. from the organisms identified, the ectoparasites (lice-s ... | 2002 | 12072221 |
| observations on helminth infections of free-living and captive rheas (rhea americana) in brazil. | the present work describes helminth infection of eight free-living and 12 captive rheas (rhea americana) from, respectively, pantanal of mato grosso do sul state, and jaboticabal, sao paulo state, brazil. captive birds were young and had a high mortality rate, while free-living birds were adult and apparently healthy. infections were evaluated by post-mortem examination of internal organs and recovery of helminths using standard parasitological procedures. seven species of nematodes (sicarius un ... | 2005 | 15817218 |
| [parasitic infestations in ostriches and therapy.]. | ostriches have few endo and ectoparasite agents. these include houttuynia struthionis, libyostrongylus douglassii, chandrella quiscali, cryptosporidium spp, isospora struthionis, struthiolipeurus struthionis, s. nandu, pterolichus bicaudatus, gabucinia sculpturata, dermoglyphus pachycnemi and hypoboscis struthionis. furthermore, ostriches can also be infected with other parasites (such as the amoeba, giardia, trichomonas, histomonas spp.), when they are raised along with mammals and other birds. ... | 2005 | 17160836 |
