| 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 |
| 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 |
| fascioloides magna--epizootiology in a deer farm in germany. | after initial observations of suspicious cases in 2009, the occurrence of fascioloides (f.) magna in deer of a deer farm located in northeastern bavaria, germany, at the border to the czech republic was confirmed in autumn 2011. in march 2012, the deer were treated for fascioloidosis with triclabendazole. to monitor the epizootiology of fascioloidosis in the farm, 80-100 faecal samples were examined for fascioloides eggs at monthly intervals from june 2012 to june 2013 inclusive. in addition, li ... | 2015 | 26054221 |
