| infectious canine hepatitis in red foxes (vulpes vulpes) in the united kingdom. | the pathological findings are described in three cases of infectious canine hepatitis in free-ranging red foxes (vulpes vulpes) in england. the foxes died after short periods of clinical illness. mild jaundice and hepatic congestion were evident grossly. on histopathological examination, intranuclear inclusion bodies were visible in hepatocytes, in association with hepatocyte dissociation and necrosis, as well as in renal glomeruli, renal tubular epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells. ... | 2010 | 20097890 |
| the epidemiology of echinococcus granulosus in great britain. v. the status of subspecies of echinococcus granulosus in great britain. | twenty-five years ago williams and sweatman suggested that in great britain there are two subspecies of echinococcus granulosus--e. granulosus granulosus and e. granulosus equinus. echinococcus granulosus granulosus does not mature either in foxes or in horses: e. granulosus equinus will mature in either. the prepatent period of e. granulosus granulosus in the definitive host is about 42 days while that of e. granulosus equinus is about 70 days. each subspecies has a characteristic morphology. m ... | 1989 | 2596902 |
| angiostrongylus vasorum and eucoleus aerophilus in foxes (vulpes vulpes) in great britain. | the nematode parasite angiostrongylus vasorum is a source of increasing concern in several parts of the world, where it causes significant disease in dogs. wild canids, especially foxes, are likely to have a role in the epidemiology of canine infection, and the parasite could also affect fox health and population dynamics. the heart and pulmonary vasculature of 546 foxes culled mostly by gamekeepers in great britain in 2005-2006 were examined by dissection and a modified flushing technique. fort ... | 2008 | 18407416 |
| the occurrence of mesocestoides sp. in british wild red foxes (vulpes vulpes crucigera). | infection with the cyclophyllidean tapeworm mesocestoides sp. is recorded in british wild red foxes (vulpes vulpes cr-cigera) from scotland and south east england. previously, the occurence of this parasite in great britain has been rarely reported, but the results of the present study indicate that vulpine infection may be common. | 1976 | 965710 |
