| [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 |
| evidence for an increased geographical distribution of dermacentor reticulatus in germany and detection of rickettsia sp. rpa4. | two studies were performed to elucidate the current distribution of the tick dermacentor reticulatus in germany. in the first one in 2003, a total of 365 dogs from 171 sites in the states of berlin and brandenburg was screened for ticks, and the corresponding outdoor sites that the dogs usually visited were searched for host-seeking ticks by the flagging method. a total of 1155 ticks was removed from the dogs. the majority were ixodes ricinus (88.5%), followed by d. reticulatus (9.1%) and i. hex ... | 2006 | 16524777 |
| [dermacentor reticulatus (fabricius, 1794)--distribution, biology and vector for babesia canis in germany]. | this work deals with occurrence, distribution as well as biology and vectorial capacity of the ornate dog tick (dermacentor (d.) reticulatus). until 30 years ago this tick has only been described in a few natural foci in southern germany. its distribution has however expanded in the course of the last years. with the exception of northern germany it is now covering large areas of germany. this is particularly the case in the upper rhine valley, saarland and the mark brandenburg. however, it is e ... | 2006 | 17009718 |
| [seroprevalence of anaplasma phagocytophilum infection in dogs in germany]. | to determine the prevalence of anaplasma phagocytophilum in dogs in germany serum samples from 1124 dogs that were under suspicion of having anaplasmosis were examined. the samples were tested by an indirect immunofluorescence test (oft) for antibodies to a. phagocytophilum. the geographical origin of positive cases were analysed with an geographic information system. antibodies to a. phagocytophilum were found in 563 (50.1%) of the tested dogs. 166 dogs came from saarland, 161 from north rhine- ... | 2006 | 17009720 |
| natural infections of angiostrongylus vasorum and crenosoma vulpis in dogs in germany (2007-2009). | in order to assess the occurrence and regional geographical distribution of angiostrongylus vasorum and crenosoma vulpis in germany, faecal samples of 810 dogs with clinical symptoms of respiratory and circulatory disease, bleeding disorder and/or neurological signs were collected from september 2007 to march 2009. the zinc chloride/sodium chloride flotation and baermann funnel technique were used to examine the samples for presence of lungworm larvae. infections with lungworms were diagnosed in ... | 2009 | 19575224 |
