| prevalence of trichinella larvae and extra-intestinal nematodes in norwegian red foxes (vulpes vulpes). | a survey of the parasitic fauna of the norwegian red fox (vulpes vulpes) population was carried out in 1994/1995 and 2002-2005. all foxes were killed during the licensed hunting season from october to april and, in total, 393 animals from all regions of the country were examined. the present study details the results of extra-intestinal nematode and trichinella larvae examinations. all individuals were examined for trichinella, using routine digestion methods. parasitological examination of the ... | 2006 | 16378689 |
| serological detection of anti-trichinella antibodies in wild foxes and experimentally infected farmed foxes in norway. | trichinella surveillance in wildlife has relied on the detection of muscle larvae using digestion techniques. serology has been proposed as more suitable for large-scale epidemiological studies in wildlife. in this study, 328 individual sera from wild red foxes and 16 sera from experimentally infected farmed foxes were serologically tested with both excretory/secretory antigen (e/s) and the synthetic beta-tyvelose glycan antigen, in indirect elisa tests. the wild red foxes (vulpes vulpes) had pr ... | 2009 | 19380206 |
