| changes in the frontal sinuses of the weasel (mustela nivalis) in poland possibly caused by nematodes or trematodes. | the presence of parasitic nematodes was determined by visual assessment of damage to the 271 weasel skulls (154 males and 117 females). the damages were attributed to skrjabingylus nasicola (leuckart, 1842) or troglotrema acutum (leuckart, 1842) (on the basis of it's appearance and relevant papers). the frequency of infestation by both parasites was 38%. it was higher in females and also increased along with age. a significant dependence between skull length of adult specimens and infestation ra ... | 1993 | 8122422 |
| cranial helminths of mustela vison schreber, 1777 in spain. | a survey was carried out to investigate the presence of cranial helminths in 337 american minks (mustela vison) from spain. this information was obtained partly in order to evaluate potential conservation problems and sanitary risks to the congeneric european mink (mustela lutreola), one of the most endangered carnivores in the world. skulls and rectal faeces of each specimen were simultaneously analysed. troglotrema acutum and skrjabingylus nasicola were found in 5.6% of the m. vison analysed. ... | 2006 | 16490319 |
| prevalence and intensity of nematode parasites in wisconsin ermine. | in the midwestern united states, ermine ( mustela erminea ) are economically important because they are legally harvested for pelts. information on parasites of ermine is lacking, and the effects that nematode parasites have on body condition of ermine hosts are unknown. we identified skrjabingylus nasicola and filaroides martis in ermine trapped from 2007 to 2013 from 6 counties in wisconsin. small mammals, commonly consumed by ermine, serve as paratenic hosts for both parasites. our goal was t ... | 2014 | 24918267 |
| helminth communities of the autochthonous mustelids mustela lutreola and m. putorius and the introduced mustela vison in south-western france. | this study presents the first comprehensive helminthological data on three sympatric riparian mustelids (the european mink mustela lutreola, the polecat m. putorius and the american mink m. vison) in south-western france. one hundred and twenty-four specimens (45 m. lutreola, 37 m. putorius and 42 m. vison) from eight french departments were analysed. globally, 15 helminth species were detected: troglotrema acutum, pseudamphistomum truncatum, euryhelmis squamula, euparyphium melis and ascocotyle ... | 2008 | 18752724 |
| prevalence and molecular identification of the sinus worm skrjabingylus petrowi (nematoda: metastrongyloidea) from martes spp. in germany. | the nematodes of the genus skrjabingylus (family metastrongylidae) can parasitise the nasal and frontal sinus cavities of different carnivore species. until recently, skrjabingylus petrowi bageanov & petrov, 1941, has mainly been described in pine martens (martes martes linnaeus, 1758) and sables (martes zibellina linnaeus, 1758) sampled in the european part of the former soviet union. newer finds in the stone marten (martes foina erxleben, 1777) and from different parts of europe suggest, howev ... | 2015 | 25681145 |
| determinants and effects of sinus worm skrjabingylus nasicola (nematoda: metastrongyloidae) infestation in invasive american mink neovison vison in germany. | skrjabingylus nasicola (leuckart, 1842) are geographically widespread nematodes that parasitize the nasal and frontal sinus cavities of smaller mustelids. as most prior work was solely based on the analysis of bone injuries of museum skull, little is known about the determinants and effects of infestation in the host species. working on fresh skulls, we aimed to analyze infestation patterns in american mink (neovison vison schreber, 1777) from nine study areas in northern germany and to identify ... | 2016 | 27160332 |
| a post-mortem study of respiratory disease in small mustelids in south-west england. | stoat (mustela erminea) and weasel (mustela nivalis) populations in south-west england are declining whilst polecats (mustela putorius), absent for over a century, are increasing. little is known about the health status of these species nationally. this study aimed at investigating respiratory disease in specimens found dead in south-west england. | 2016 | 27052849 |
