| antibody responses against natural taenia hydatigena infection in dogs in kenya. | antibody responses (igg) against taenia hydatigena infection in dogs in kenya were analysed in elisa using excretory/secretory products of t. hydatigena scoleces derived from goat cysticercus cysts. helminth infections of individual dogs were confirmed at autopsy. t. hydatigena worms were found in 89.5% of 143 dogs, and positive anti-t. hydatigena antibody levels were detected in 58.7% of infected dogs. positive antiscolex antibody levels were detected in 40.0% of turkana dogs uninfected with t. ... | 1991 | 1869360 |
| the epidemiology of helminthosis in small ruminants under the traditional husbandry system in eastern nigeria. | the epidemiology of helminth infections in west african dwarf sheep and goats under the traditional husbandry system prevailing in the derived savanna area of eastern nigeria was studied for 12 months. the infections observed were due to haemonchus contortus (87.1%), trichostrongylus spp. (63.8%), metacestodes of taenia hydatigena (30.2%), oesophagostomum columbianum (22.4%), strongyloides sp.

| countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis in the diagnosis of taenia hydatigena cysticercosis in goats. | the procedure of countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis in the diagnosis of taenia hydatigena cysticercosis in goats was carried out for antemortem diagnosis of t. hydatigena cysticercosis in experimentally and naturally infected goats. the antigens of cyst fluid, scolex and membrane of t. hydatigena metacestodes were purified and compared. the sensitivity of the test in experimentally and naturally infected goats was 57.1 and 52.5%, respectively, whereas its specificity using antisera raised agai ... | 1990 | 2267724 |
| biochemical characterization of taenia hydatigena cysticerci from goats and pigs. | analysis of the major biochemical components of taenia hydatigena cysticerci collected from goats and pigs showed marked differences, particularly in glycogen, protein, lipid and dna levels. differences were also detected in the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids and phospholipids. furthermore, the profile of phospholipid fractions revealed quantitative differences between the two species. it is concluded that the cysticerci of goat and pig origin probably represent two diffe ... | 1989 | 2480977 |

| the incidence of adult and larval stage taenia hydatigena in uttar pradesh (india). | a total of 1023 dogs of different breeds from different parts of uttar pradesh state were examined for the presence of taenia hydatigena, and 810 sheep, 1015 goats and 1040 pigs were examined for the presence of cysticercus tenuicollis, to determine the incidence of these parasites. in dogs, the incidence of t. hydatigena was found to be 40.95%. the rate of infection was higher in street dogs than in dogs kept indoors. cysticercus tenuicollis was found in 37.03% of sheep, 27.29% of goats and 8.3 ... | 1982 | 7201716 |
| helminth and arthropod parasites of indigenous goats in the northern transvaal. | helminth and arthropod parasites of 60 female indigenous goats of three age groups on a farm in the northern transvaal were collected, identified and counted. anoplocephalid tapeworms were present in the two younger groups of goats, while larvae of taenia hydatigena were recovered from all three groups. eight species and two genera of nematodes were found in the youngest goats, five species and three genera in the middle group and six species and two genera in the oldest goats. strongyloides pap ... | 1994 | 7898893 |
| immunodiagnosis of taenia saginata in cattle using hydrophobic antigens from t. hydatigena metacestode cyst fluid. | hydrophobic fractions isolated from cyst fluid of taenia hydatigena metacestodes, obtained from naturally infected goats from tanzania, were used in an indirect elisa and in immunoblot (western or dot blot) procedures. the use of the most hydrophobic fractions of the cyst fluid proved to result in a better diagnostic discrimination in elisa than the more hydrophilic fractions. best diagnostic ratio between responses from t. saginata infected and non-infected cattle was achieved when using horse- ... | 1995 | 8541896 |
| the use of ultrasound to study the prevalence of hydatid cysts in the right lung and liver of sheep and goats in turkana, kenya. | ultrasound examination of the liver and right lung was performed in 260 sheep and 320 goats from the turkana district of kenya. hydatid cysts were visualized in 9.2% of the sheep and 2.5% of the goats. of the animals positive on ultrasound, 87.5% received post-mortem examinations. eighteen (6.9%) sheep and 5 (1.5%) goats were positive for hydatid cysts on ultrasound and post-mortem examination. false-positives were a result of taenia hydatigena cysticerci present in the liver in all but 1 case. ... | 1996 | 9024882 |
| an epidemiological survey of echinococcus granulosus and other helminths in animal populations in northern israel. | in a survey carried out during the period may 1995 to november 1996, in communities of various ethnic groups in northern israel, 206 dogs were examined for echinococcus granulosus and other intestinal helminth parasites by arecoline hydrobromide purges and the coproantigen-elisa. the arecoline test was performed close to the owners' homes, using plastic sheets secured to the ground. from 56 dogs examined in the muslim town of tamra, six (10.7%) were found to be infected with e. granulosus. four ... | 1998 | 9687593 |
| modelling the prevalence of echinococcus and taenia species in small ruminants of different ages in northern jordan. | a base-line survey of echinococcus granulosus, taenia hydatigena and t ovis were undertaken in order to investigate the transmission dynamics of these parasites in northern jordan. intensity of e. granulosus infection, in sheep, increased with age in a linear fashion whilst the asymptotic prevalence was one. this implied that e. granulosus is in an endemic steady state with no evidence of protective immunity in the intermediate host. the mean number of cysts increased by 1.66 per year with appro ... | 1998 | 9777724 |
