| [morphological and molecular identification of cysticercus fasciolaris isolated from rodent hosts (rattus norvegicus) in buenos aires province (argentina)]. | in a rodent (rattus norvegicus) survey in buenos aires province, metacestodes of tapeworms were found encysted in the liver of the host. the aim of this work was the morphological and molecular identification of this parasite. to achieve the molecular characterization of the parasite, ribosomal (28s) and mitochondrial (coi) dna were amplified and sequenced. based on both morphological and molecular data using bioinformatic tools, the metacestode was identified as cysticercus fasciolaris. the adu ... | 2013 | 24165136 |
| the role of the subterranean rodent ctenomys talarum (rodentia: octodontidae) in the life cycle of taenia taeniaeformis (cestoda: taeniidae) in urban environments. | this work is the first report of subterranean rodent ctenomys talarum (rodentia: octodontidae) as intermediate host of taenia taeniaeformis in urban areas of mar de cobo (buenos aires province, argentina) and to experimentally reproduce in domestic dogs the adult stage of this parasite. prevalence, mean abundance and mean intensity of infection with t. taeniaeformis larvae in the liver and peritoneal cavity of c. talarum were 64%, 15.3 and 9.8, respectively. ten adults of t. taeniaeformis were o ... | 2004 | 15158554 |
