| molecular characterization of larval anisakid nematodes from marine fishes of madeira by a pcr-based approach, with evidence for a new species. | one-hundred and fifteen anisakid larvae from 3 different fish hosts, aphanopus carbo, scomber japonicus, and trachurus picturatus, caught in madeiran waters, were identified by pcr-rflp. three distinct species were identified in a. carbo, namely anisakis simplex sensu srricto, anisakis pegreffii, and anisakis ziphidarum; 5 in s. japonicus, i.e., a. simplex s.s., a. pegreffii, anisakis physeteris, anisakis typica, and a. ziphidarum; and 3 in t. picturatus, i.e., a. simplex s.s., a. pegreffii, and ... | 2005 | 16539027 |
| helminth component community of the loggerhead sea turtle, caretta caretta, from madeira archipelago, portugal. | the helminth fauna of pelagic-stage loggerhead sea turtles, caretta caretta, is still poorly known. here, we describe the helminth-component community of healthy, free-ranging juvenile loggerhead sea turtles captured in the waters around madeira island, portugal. fifty-seven were used in this study. the esophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, trachea, bronchi, urinary bladder, heart, left and right aortas, and coelomic cavity were macroscopically inspected; organs and ... | 2009 | 18576835 |
| Infection levels and diversity of anisakid nematodes in blackspot seabream, Pagellus bogaraveo, from Portuguese waters. | The blackspot seabream, Pagellus bogaraveo, is a sparid fish of great economic importance in the northeast Atlantic. The main aim of this work was to assess the infection levels and diversity of anisakid nematodes parasitizing P. bogaraveo from Portuguese waters. The anisakid larvae were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and ten different patterns were observed, four of which were not previously reported in the literature. Moreover, several ... | 2011 | 22139402 |
