| cystic echinococcosis in argentina: evolution of metacestode and clinical expression in various echinococcus granulosus strains. | echinococcus granulosus hydatid cysts were examined in 41 patients from neuquén and tucumán provinces in argentina. sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (co1) revealed in 19 patients common sheep strain (g1), in 6 patients tasmania sheep strain (g2), in 1 patient cattle strain (g5), and in 15 patients camel strain (g6). in argentina the only known is the domestic cycle that affects dogs and herbivorous, including ovine, swine, cattle and goats. these strains produced a ... | 2004 | 15350868 |
| molecular characterization of echinococcus isolates indicates goats as reservoir for echinococcus canadensis g6 genotype in neuquén, patagonia argentina. | human cystic echinococcosis is a highly endemic zoonotic disease in the province of neuquén, patagonia argentina, although a hydatid control programme has been carried out since 1970. human infection due to echinococcus canadensis (g6 genotype) is frequent in neuquén. however, the reservoir for this species remains undetermined in a region where camels are absent. we investigated the fertility, viability and molecular epidemiology of hydatid cysts obtained from local goats, pigs and sheep in ord ... | 2010 | 20667482 |
| trichinella infection in wild animals from endemic regions of argentina. | natural infection with trichinella has been described in more than 150 mammalian species. however, few reports of trichinella infection in wild animals have come from argentina. in this study, muscle tissue was obtained from wild animals in argentina with the aim of evaluating the presence of trichinella. a total of 169 muscle samples were collected to determine the presence of trichinella larvae by artificial digestion. the 169 muscle samples originated from 12 species including 36 opossums (di ... | 2010 | 20424859 |
