| geographic information system-aided analysis of factors associated with the spatial distribution of echinococcus multilocularis infections of foxes. | to investigate the influence of environmental factors on the spatial epidemiology of infections with echinococcus multilocularis, foxes were sampled in a focal endemic region in the northwest of brandenburg, germany, and examined for infection by the parasite. the locations where foxes were obtained were recorded in a geographic information system database. positions of infected and uninfected foxes were analyzed on the background of geographic vector data of water, settlements, streets, forests ... | 2001 | 11792003 |
| [helminth findings in indigenous raccoon dogs nyctereutes procyonoides (gray, 1843)]. | internal organs of 74 racoon dogs originating from the eastern districts of the federal land brandenburg were subjected to a complete helminthological dissection. in addition, samples of diaphragma muscles from 46 further animals were examined for trichinella larvae. altogether 3 trematode- (alaria alata, isthmiophora melis, metorchis bilis), 3 cestode- (mesocestoides sp., echinococcus multilocularis, taenia polyacantha) and 7 nematode species (capillaria aerophila, c. plica, trichinella spirali ... | 2001 | 11505800 |
| spatial distribution patterns of echinococcus multilocularis (leuckart 1863) (cestoda: cyclophyllidea: taeniidae) among red foxes in an endemic focus in brandenburg, germany. | over a period of 40 months, 4374 foxes were randomly sampled from an area located in northwestern brandenburg, germany, and examined parasitologically for infections with echinococcus multilocularis. spatial analysis of the origin of infected animals identified two (one central and one southeastern) high-endemic foci with an estimated prevalence of 23.8%. by contrast, a prevalence of 4.9% was found in the remaining (low-endemic) area. the prevalences among juvenile and adult foxes were compared ... | 1998 | 9528824 |
| [lethal alveolar echinococcosis in a dog: clinical symptoms and pathology]. | epidemiological data indicate a progressing spread of the fox tapeworm in germany. here we report on a case of lethal alveolar echinococcosis in a dog from brandenburg. the patient was clinically presented with abdominal distension. ultrasonic examination revealed severe structural alterations of the liver and in a fine needle aspiration cytology larval tape worm fragments were suspected. explorative laparotomy suggested inoperable lesions and the animal was euthanized with unfavorable prognosis ... | 2016 | 24199383 |
| diagnostics and epidemiology of alveolar echinococcosis in slaughtered pigs from large-scale husbandries in germany. | by means of the official meat inspection of domestic pigs, exceptionally high proportions of livers affected by encapsulated nodules containing whitish to light yellow, viscous to pasty material ("microabscesses") were detected. the swine had been raised on four different farms, being located in distinct regions of germany (brandenburg, thuringia, upper franconia). macroscopical and histological examination of 77 samples of livers revealed granulomatous to necrotizing hepatitis with attendance o ... | 2013 | 23093207 |
