| louse and mite infestation in domestic animals in northern nigeria. | records of domestic animals brought to the veterinary entomology laboratory for diagnosis of suspected lice and mite infestation over a 10 year period were analysed. from a total of 794 suspected cases, 137 (17.3%) and 247 (31.1%) were positive for lice and mange mites respectively. the most common lice species recorded were linognathus vituli (66.7%) on cattle, l. ovillus (83.3%) on sheep, haematopinus suis (100%) on pigs and menacanthus stramineus (54.5%) on poultry. other lice species recorde ... | 1992 | 1305335 |
| [farm animals as disease vectors of parasitic epizoonoses and zoophilic dermatophytes and their importance in dermatology]. | different pest arthropods and dermatophytes occurring primarily in farm animals may be transmissible to man and produce human dermatoses. the movement and cutaneous penetration habits of external parasites often cause crusted papules, severe itching and dermatitis or may damage their hosts by blood-sucking or by sensitizing them to their saliva. furthermore different dermatophytes should be considered a possible cause of human skin lesions. farm animals (cattle, pig, poultry, and rabbit) can tra ... | 1999 | 10501677 |
| the poultry red mite, dermanyssus gallinae, a potential vector of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae causing erysipelas in hens. | erysipelas is a bacterial disease caused by erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, which may infect swine as well as several other species of mammals and birds, including domestic fowl. in poultry, erysipelas may cause sudden high mortality due to septicemia. this communication describes the first isolation of e. rhusiopathiae from the haematophagous poultry red mite, dermanyssus gallinae degeer (acari: dermanyssidae), that was collected on three farms where hen erysipelas was diagnosed. the bacteria wer ... | 2003 | 12823843 |
| characterization of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae isolates from poultry, pigs, emus, the poultry red mite and other animals. | erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is the causative agent of erysipelas in mammals and birds, especially pigs and poultry. in order to investigate the suitability of different subtyping methods for genetic and phenotypic similarities among swedish isolates of the organism, 45 isolates from poultry (n=23), pigs (n=17), emus (n=2) and the poultry red mite dermanyssus gallinae (n=3) were investigated by serotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. sequence ... | 2009 | 19193500 |
