| biochemical, biological, and genetic characterization of a sylvatic isolate of trichinella. | biological, biochemical, and genetic relationships of trichinella isolates were assessed and compared from 3 species of illinois fur-bearing mammals. tongue muscle collected from 1987 through 1989 from 323 raccoons (procyon lotor), 9 red fox (vulpes fulva), and 1 coyote (canis latrans) were digested and trichinella muscle larval prevalences and mean intensities (larvae/g) determined. the prevalence and mean intensity of tongue muscle-stage larvae were 2.8% and 44.4% and 326 and 2 larvae/g for ra ... | 1993 | 8501590 |
| dirofilaria immitis in red foxes in illinois. | dirofilaria immitis was found in 8 of 225 (3.6%) red foxes (vulpes vulpes) collected from fur buyers and trappers in bond, clinton, dekalb, edgar, ford, jasper, moultrie, and richland counties, illinois. infections ranged from 1 to 23 nematodes per fox. the finding of d. immitis in red foxes represents a new host record for the state. | 1980 | 7431521 |
