| importance in france of the infestation by dirofilaria (nochtiella) repens in dogs. | the presence of dirofilaria repens has been mentioned in europe, in africa and in asia, in different carnivores (dogs, foxes, cats, lions). in europe the nematode has been reported in dogs, cats and foxes and the countries concerned by native cases are italy, spain, greece, yugoslavia and france. in france, until now, d. repens has been described, among animals, only in dogs. the first undoubted report dates back to 1953. later, the prevalence was studied through widespread surveys (1986-1988-19 ... | 1997 | 9802099 |
| isoenzymatic analysis of 712 strains of leishmania infantum in the south of france and relationship of enzymatic polymorphism to clinical and epidemiological features. | in the south of france, leishmaniasis due to leishmania infantum occurs in the following five foci of endemicity (from west to east): pyrénées-orientales, cévennes, provence, côte d'azur, and corsica. between 1981 and 2002, 712 leishmania strains obtained from humans, dogs, cats, and sand flies were studied by isoenzyme analysis. in total, seven zymodemes were identified: mon-1, mon-11, mon-24, mon-29, mon-33, mon-34, and mon-108. the pyrénées-orientales focus is characterized by a predominance ... | 2004 | 15364993 |

| canine leishmaniasis in south-east of france: screening of leishmania infantum antibodies (western blotting, elisa) and parasitaemia levels by pcr quantification. | leishmania infantum leishmaniasis is endemic in south-east of france. the main goal of our study was to evaluate the real prevalence of asymptomatic carriage in dogs by means of real time quantitative pcr (qpcr) and serology. we included prospectively 140 military dogs wearing deltamethrine-impregnated collars. parasitaemia levels were then measured by means of quantitative real time pcr targeting kinetoplast dna with taqman chemistry. elisa and western blotting (wb) were used for serological sc ... | 2009 | 19720466 |
| [a new case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis]. | authors describe another case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis due to dirofilaria (nochtiella) repens in france. a 26-year-old woman was infected while on vacation in cap d'agde on the mediterranean coast. the patient presented with a subcutaneous nodule in the right subclavicular region. examination of the nodule after surgical excision revealed the presence of a worm identified as an immature female dirofilaria repens. dirofilariasis is a rare anthroponotic disease encountered only in the old wo ... | 1999 | 10816750 |
