| environmental and human influence on the ecology of trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi in western europe. | surveys on trichinella parasites in domestic and sylvatic animals collected in france, italy, and in the extremadura region of spain showed that the distribution of trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi is influenced by both environmental and human behaviour factors. in france, both trichinella species are prevalent in the fox population from mountain areas and natural parks but are infrequent in wild boars (< 0.001%). in italy, only t. britovi is present in sylvatic animals (foxes, wolve ... | 1996 | 8939049 |
| echinococcus granulosus infection in spain. | cystic echinococcosis (ce) caused by the cestode echinococcus granulosus is an endemic disease in spain. although specific control programmes initiated in the 1980s have led to marked reductions in ce infection rates in spain, the disease still remains an important human and animal health problem in many regions of the country. human incidence and livestock (including sheep, cattle, pigs and horses) prevalence data were gathered from national epidemiological surveillance information systems and ... | 2008 | 18331519 |
| thelazia callipaeda infection in dogs: a new parasite for spain. | abstract: background: thelazia callipaeda (spirurida, thelaziidae) eyeworms are known as the causative agents of thelaziosis, initially described in asia and, later on, over the last decade, also in some european countries (e.g., italy, france, germany and switzerland). in june 2010, the first case of canine thelaziosis was observed in central western spain (la vera region, caceres) and subsequent epidemiological investigation is reported in the present study. results: this study describes the f ... | 2011 | 21791108 |
