| thelazia lacrymalis in horses in kentucky and observations on the face fly (musca autumnalis) as a probable intermediate host. | eyes from 114 (30.3%) of 376 dead horses, examined from 3 april 1975 to 3 april 1976, were naturally infected with adult thelazia lacrymalis; 1 horse was also infected with 1 male thelazia skrijabini. adult t. lacrymalis from dead horses were successfully transferred mechanically to the eyes of 3 of 4 shetland ponies raised helminth-free. larvae from gravid female t. lacrymalis underwent development in experimentally infected, laboratory-raised face flies (musca autumnalis) and third-stage larva ... | 1976 | 1033990 |
| southern ontario survey of eyeworms, thelazia gulosa and thelazia lacrymalis in cattle and larvae of thelazia spp. in the face fly, musca autumnalis. | an eight month survey of bovine eyes from an abattoir in southern ontario revealed the presence of the eyeworms thelazia gulosa and t. lacrymalis in 32% of the cattle. in the same area, 3% of the natural population of face flies (musca autumnalis) harbored larval eyeworms. a review of the literature is provided. | 1980 | 7189135 |

| [ecology of thelazia spp. in cattle and their vectors in italy]. | the genus thelazia (spirurida, thelaziidae) includes a cosmopolitan group of eyeworm spirurids responsible for ocular infections in domestic and wild animals and transmitted by different species of muscids. bovine thelaziosis is caused by thelazia rhodesi desmarest 1828, thelazia gulosa railliet & henry 1910, and thelazia skrjabini erschow 1928, which occur in many countries; t. gulosa and t. skrjabini have been reported mainly in the new world, while t. rhodesi is particularly common in the old ... | 2004 | 15305729 |
| molecular characterization of thelazia lacrymalis (nematoda, spirurida) affecting equids: a tool for vector identification. | equine thelaziosis caused by the eyeworm thelazia lacrymalis is a parasitic disease transmitted by muscid flies. although equine thelaziosis is known to have worldwide distribution, information on the epidemiology and presence of the intermediate hosts of t. lacrymalis is lacking. in the present work, a pcr-rflp based assay on the first and/or second internal transcribed spacer (its1 and its2) of ribosomal dna was developed for the detection of t. lacrymalis dna in its putative vector(s). the se ... | 2005 | 16038792 |
