| fasciola hepatica: effects on blood constituents and liver minerals in fallow deer (dama dama). | haematological and serum biochemical constituents as well as the liver mineral concentrations can be affected by fasciola hepatica. the present study compares the blood and liver constituents in 19 fallow deer with fascioliosis and in 43 without it. blood samples, gastro-intestinal tract, lungs and liver were taken from 62 male and female fallow deer that were shot, aged 6 months and over, in enclosures, between 1999 and 2001 in slovenia. samples were analysed and the means of various parameters ... | 2003 | 12581584 |
| the giant liver fluke fascioloides magna (bassi 1875) in cervids in the czech republic and potential of its spreading to germany. | the giant liver fluke fascioloides magna is an important parasite of cervids in europe. from september 2003 to december 2005, faecal samples and livers of red deer (cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (dama dama) were investigated to determine the current distribution of the fluke in the czech republic. faecal samples were collected from 20 different areas, and livers of hunted deer were dissected from each locality to confirm f. magna infection. the prevalence of f. magna in examined areas determin ... | 2007 | 17016724 |
| endoparasites of the fallow deer (dama dama) of the antheringer au in salzburg, austria. | although the annual harvest of fallow deer increased markedly in austria in the past two decades, only little is known about the parasites of fallow deer in austria. to add current faunistic knowledge on the endoparasites of fallow deer in the country, viscera from six adult males and one male fawn from the game preserve antheringer au, salzburg, were examined in 2009-2010 using standard techniques, and spleen samples were screened for dna of tick-borne pathogens (polymerase chain reaction). inf ... | 2014 | 24535173 |
| identity of rumen fluke in deer. | as evidence is growing that in many temperate areas paramphistome infections are becoming more common and widespread, this study was undertaken to determine the role of deer as reservoirs for rumen fluke infections in livestock. a total of 144 deer faecal samples (88 from fallow deer, 32 from red deer and 24 samples from sika, sika/red deer hybrids) were screened for the presence of fluke eggs. based on the its-2 rdna locus plus flanking 5.8s and 28s sequences (its-2+), fluke eggs were identifie ... | 2014 | 25127736 |
| detection of antibodies in wild ruminants to evaluate exposure to liver trematodes. | wild ruminants sharing pastures with domestic livestock are at risk of infection by liver trematodes. detection of antibodies provides a very useful tool to gain more knowledge about the distribution of these parasites. non-lethal methods are strongly encouraged for the analysis of the risk of infection among wild ruminants. a seroepidemiological survey was conducted to analyze exposure to hepatic trematodes ( fasciola hepatica and dicrocoelium dendriticum ) in wild ruminants from southern spain ... | 2012 | 22414166 |
| a genetic structure of novel population of fascioloides magna from poland, podkarpackie province, indicates an expanding second european natural focus of fascioloidosis. | the veterinary important parasite of ruminants, giant liver fluke fascioloides magna(trematoda: fasciolidae), isolated from liver of farmed fallow deer (dama dama) from podkarpackie province (southeastern poland) was genotypized by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (cox1) and nicotinamide dehydrogenase (nad1) markers. the data on this newly emerged population were compared with mitochondrial haplotypes of recently detected polish population of f. magna from lower silesian wilderness (southweste ... | 2016 | 27787209 |
| diagnosis and therapy of liver fluke (fascioloides magna) infection in fallow deer (dama dama) in serbia. | giant liver fluke ( fascioloides magna ) infection is an important health problem of cervids in southeastern europe. we measured the prevalence and intensity of infection with f. magna in a fenced area near the danube river in the south bačka district of serbia. parasitologic, pathomorphologic, and histopathologic examinations were conducted from november 2007 to february 2008, beginning with a population of 127 adult fallow deer ( dama dama ). after a positive diagnosis, therapy with triclabend ... | 2016 | 26967130 |
| extension of occurrence area of the american fluke fascioloides magna in south-western poland. | liver fluke fascioloides magna is a typical parasite of american cervids. the reason for f. magna to appear in poland territory was bringing the american wapiti deer to those forests around 1850. along with these deer the aforementioned fluke was also introduced. the aim of this study was to present the case of finding of this species in cervids in bory zielonogórskie. samples of deer feces were collected in february 2015 in forest district krzystkowice. a total of 16 samples of feces were exami ... | 2015 | 26342504 |
| molecular identification of fascioloides magna (bassi, 1875) from red deer from south-western poland (lower silesian wilderness) on the basis of internal transcribed spacer 2 (its-2). | the study was conducted in 2012-2013 on 75 fecal samples of red deer from the lower silesian wilderness which were examined to determine the prevalence of fascioloides magna in the game population. finding liver fluke eggs in a single sample which were larger in size than fasciola hepatica eggs indicated that further molecular analysis was necessarily. the partial sequence (116 bp long) of its-2 of the investigated eggs was identical to the sequences of f. magna from red deer (cervus elaphus) (g ... | 2014 | 25286665 |
| wherefrom and whereabouts of an alien: the american liver fluke fascioloides magna in austria: an overview. | the giant liver fluke fascioloides magna, an invasive species originating from north america, was recorded in austria in the wild for the first time in 2000. since then, various data concerning the epidemiology in snail intermediate hosts and cervid final hosts have been reported. galba truncatula acts as snail intermediate host, and red deer, roe deer and fallow deer act as final hosts. g. truncatula is abundant throughout the region, especially along muddy shores of slow-flowing branches of th ... | 2014 | 24535172 |
| the role of hepatic myofibroblasts in liver cirrhosis in fallow deer (dama dama) naturally infected with giant liver fluke (fascioloides magna). | this paper describes liver cirrhosis in 35 fallow deer infected with the giant liver fluke, as well as the distribution, origin, and role of myofibroblasts in its development. | 2013 | 23497565 |
