| genetic categorization of echinococcus granulosus from humans and herbivorous hosts in iran using an integrated mutation scanning-phylogenetic approach. | in the present study, we have extended earlier taxonomic, biochemical and experimental investigations to characterize echinococcus granulosus from various hosts in iran utilizing dna regions (designated pcox1 and pnad1) within the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and nadh dehydrogenase 1 mitochondrial genes, respectively. an emphasis was placed on the characterization of e. granulosus isolates (cyst material) from humans, sheep, goats, cattle and camels, and on assessing their genetic relationship ... | 2009 | 19637222 |
| tissue reaction in experimental cysticercosis of sheep and goats caused by infection with taenia saginata eggs. | in experimental infection of sheep with taenia saginata eggs the intensity of infection may be influenced by the age of the animal at the time of infection, the height of the infection dose and the mode of infection (perorally in capsules or by means of an oesophagus tube). in non-adequate intermediate hosts of t. saginata (sheep, goats), the cellular reaction around the young cysticercus is very strong, but it differs from the reaction known in bovine cysticercosis: large macrophages, which mig ... | 1983 | 6862314 |
| some aspects of the presence of surface--associated acid mucosubstances on larval taenia saginata infecting suitable and unsuitable hosts. | the coat of acid mucosubstances occurring on the bladder surface was studied in cysticercus bovis (larvae of taenia saginata) developing in specific (cattle) and nonspecific (some other ruminants) intermediate hosts. in cysticerci developing in nonspecific intermediate hosts, this coat is absent or poorly developed even at the time when it is completely formed on the bladder surface of c. bovis from cattle. if the cysticercus develops up to the infective stage in a nonspecific intermediate host, ... | 1990 | 2151221 |
| pig as a favorable animal for taenia saginata asiatica infection. | the epidemiology of taenia saginata in some parts of asia is confusing, in that beef does not appear to be the source of infection. in some areas, beef is either not available or not eaten raw, whereas pork at times is eaten uncooked. in light of this situation, we have exposed pigs and other animals to infection with strains of t. saginata to establish their ability to serve as intermediate hosts. eggs of taiwan taenia, korea taenia, indonesia taenia, thailand taenia, philippines taenia, ethiop ... | 2006 | 16570562 |
| 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 |
