| [onchocerca raillieti n.sp. (filarioidea) from a domestic donkey in africa]. | onchocerca raillieti sp. n. (filarioidea), from the domestic donkey (equus asinus) in africa, is described. the species is compared to o. bohmi (supperer, 1953) n.comb, o. reticulata diesing, 1841, o. cervicalis railliet et henry, 1910, o. flexuosa (wedl, 1856) and o. armillata railliet et henry, 1909 and can be differentiated by numerous characters of which the most important are the anterior region of the female (which is straight and slender, 6 to 8 cm long, and bears longitudinal striae) and ... | 1976 | 1010927 |
| onchocerca raillieti: release from skin snips, maintenance in vitro and periodicity of microfilariae. | several media were tested for the release of onchocerca raillieti microfilariae from skin snips and for their subsequent in vitro maintenance. tyrode's solution containing 20% equine serum and antibiotics was the best medium tested, followed by phosphate buffered saline. tyrode's solution alone or distilled water were poor media. a temperature 7-12 degrees c lower than the host's body temperature favoured release of the microfilariae from skin snips. the microfilariae were best maintained at 4-1 ... | 1990 | 2316189 |
| onchocerca raillieti: prevalence and pathology in sudanese donkeys. | onchocerca raillieti was found to be prevalent in sudanese donkeys. the parasite was reported from central, northern, western and eastern sudan and was most predominant in the last locality. the pathological changes produced by adult worms in the ligamentum nuchae are mostly chronic and do not seem to cause any clinical manifestations. likewise, the microfilariae, though found in high densities in the skin with a "spill over" into the eyes, produce no pathological changes in either the skin or e ... | 1985 | 4031130 |
| onchocerca raillieti: adult location and skin distribution of the microfilaria in sudanese donkeys. | onchocerca raillieti is the only onchocerca species infecting sudanese donkeys; it occurs only in the ligamentum nuchae, especially in the lamellar part of the ligament. the morphological features of both uterine and skin microfilariae were determined. skin microfilariae are shorter than uterine ones and tend to accumulate in the regions of linea alba and withers of infected donkeys. the possible identity of the vector of this worm in the sudan is discussed. | 1983 | 6668423 |
