| [the studies of the invasion of alaria alata (goeze,1782) in the province of kuyavia and pomerania]. | the studies were conducted between 1999 and 2001 in two hunting regions. larval alariosis was revealed in the boars only in one of the studied regions. in this region, the results of the parasitological studies, conducted towards a. alata in the direct host (domestic dogs) and indirect hosts (snails: planorbis planorbis and anisus vortex as well as frogs: rana temporaria and rana terrestris) were also positive. the lack of the host snails a. alata in the other region might have resulted from no ... | 2001 | 16894758 |
| biology of alaria spp. and human exposition risk to alaria mesocercariae-a review. | recent incidental background findings of alaria alata mesocercariae ["distomum muscularis suis," duncker, 1896] in meat of wild boars during official trichinella inspection initiated a re-assessment of the potential human health risk as posed by this parasite. the present review of the literature on alaria biology shows that the human exposition risk should no longer be accepted to be negligible, as it demonstrates a general lack of knowledge in relevant areas of alaria biology confounding any r ... | 2009 | 19430816 |
| a novel detection method for alaria alata mesocercariae in meat. | distomum musculorum suis (dms), the mesocercarial stage of the trematode alaria alata, can cause severe damages within their hosts, and since several reports about cases of human larval alariosis have been published, it became apparent that infected game animals and in particular wild boars are a potential source of infection for both humans and animals. a final statement concerning the health risks for consumers could not be given due to the lack of information about both the prevalence of dms ... | 2010 | 20405145 |
| development of a pcr approach for differentiation of alaria spp. mesocercariae. | to date classification and differentiation of alaria spp. are based largely on external characteristics and comparative morphology of adult flukes. the accurate differentiation between various alaria spp. mesocercariae is indeed difficult because there are only few data on morphological and morphometrical features of the parasite's developmental stages. we established a conventional polymerase chain reaction (pcr) for a molecular-based diagnosis of alaria alata mesocercariae that can aid in thei ... | 2011 | 21210150 |
| new data in france on the trematode alaria alata (goeze, 1792) obtained during trichinella inspections. | the trematode alaria alata is a cosmopolite parasite found in red foxes (vulpes vulpes), the main definitive host in europe. in contrast only few data are reported in wild boars (sus scrofa), a paratenic host. the aim of this paper is to describe the importance and distribution of alaria alata mesocercariae in wild boars, information is given by findings of these larvae during trichinella mandatory meat inspection on wild boars' carcasses aimed for human consumption. more than a hundred cases of ... | 2011 | 21894269 |
| wildlife reservoirs for vector-borne canine, feline and zoonotic infections in austria. | austria's mammalian wildlife comprises a large variety of species, acting and interacting in different ways as reservoir and intermediate and definitive hosts for different pathogens that can be transmitted to pets and/or humans. foxes and other wild canids are responsible for maintaining zoonotic agents, e.g. echinococcus multilocularis, as well as pet-relevant pathogens, e.g. hepatozoon canis. together with the canids, and less commonly felids, rodents play a major role as intermediate and par ... | 2014 | 25830102 |

| prevalence and intensity of alaria alata (goeze, 1792) in water frogs and brown frogs in natural conditions. | in the last 15 years, the mesocercariae of alaria alata have frequently been reported in the wild boar during routine trichinella inspections made compulsory for the trade of venison meat in europe. if these studies have focused primarily on mesocercariae isolated from meat, few works have been done so far to understand the circulation of the parasite in natural conditions especially in the intermediate hosts. this study focuses on the second intermediate hosts of this parasite assessing the sui ... | 2015 | 26319522 |
| effect of temperature on the survival of alaria alata mesocercariae. | recent findings of alaria alata mesocercariae in wild boars and other animals in europe reinforced the concern about the public health risk posed by this parasite especially if the game meat is insufficiently heated during preparation. cooking and freezing are effective methods for the inactivation of parasites in meat whereas refrigeration is considered as an essential part of the good hygiene practice. additionally, microwave dielectric heating may represent an equally effective tool for paras ... | 2015 | 25566772 |
| effects of in vitro conditions on the survival of alaria alata mesocercariae. | the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different concentrations of table salt (nacl) and ethanol (v/v) solutions on the viability of alaria alata mesocercariae. furthermore, the survival of a. alata mesocercariae during simulated human gastric digestion was evaluated. for this purpose, a. alata mesocercariae migration technique (amt) was used for the isolation of the parasite from high-positive a. alata mesocercariae meat from wild boar, raccoon, raccoon dog, and badger meat. in to ... | 2014 | 24880239 |
| tenacity of alaria alata mesocercariae in homemade german meat products. | a renewed interest in the pathogenic potential of alaria alata mesocercariae emerged over the last 10years as a result of increased findings of this parasite in feral pigs during official examination for trichinella spp. cases of food associated human alariosis in north america suggest that a risk associated with the consumption of traditional raw cured products from infected wild boar meat cannot be neglected because the commonly applied preservation techniques may not necessarily kill the meso ... | 2014 | 24553052 |
| increasing circulation of alaria alata mesocercaria in wild boar populations of the rhine valley, france, 2007-2011. | the presence of the mesocercarial stage of alaria alata (goeze, 1792) in wild boar meat represents a potential risk for human, but little is known about the circulation of mesocercaria in wild boar populations. routine trichinella inspection, mandatorily performed in wild boar in france, also allowed detecting mesocercaria. we analyzed the results of this detection in the carcasses of 27,582 wild boars hunted in 2007-2011, in 502 hunting areas of the rhine valley. prevalence was globally low (0. ... | 2014 | 24262388 |
| alaria alata mesocercariae in raccoons (procyon lotor) in germany. | alaria alata is a trematode of carnivores from europe. the mesocercarial stage was recently identified in wild boar meat from europe. previous histopathologic studies showed the presence of unidentified parasitic cysts within the tongues of raccoons from northern germany. for identification of the parasite species, tissue samples of 105 raccoons originating from a national park in northern germany and from berlin metropolitan area were collected. histological examination of cryotome sections of ... | 2013 | 23892481 |
