| transmission ecology of taeniid larval cestodes in rodents in sweden, a low endemic area for echinococcus multilocularis. | although local prevalence of echinococcus multilocularis may be high, this zoonotic parasite has an overall low prevalence in foxes and rodents in sweden. to better understand opportunities for e. multilocularis transmission in the swedish environment, the aim of this study was to investigate other taeniid cestodes and to relate observed patterns to e. multilocularis. cestode parasites were examined in fox feces and rodents caught in different habitats from four regions of sweden. arvicola amphi ... | 2017 | 28274289 |
| morphological and molecular analyses of larval taeniid species in small mammals from contrasting habitats in denmark. | taeniid infections in intermediate hosts manifest themselves as extraintestinal larval stages which, in early development, lack species-specific characteristics. the inability to distinguish infections of zoonotic importance such as echinococcus multilocularis from other taeniid infections that have mainly veterinary significance stimulated the development of species-specific molecular diagnostics. in this study, the prevalence of taeniid infections in potential intermediate hosts was evaluated ... | 2015 | 24160635 |
| molecular phylogeny of cyclophyllidea (cestoda: eucestoda): an in-silico analysis based on mtcoi gene. | order cyclophyllidea (of cestode platyhelminths) has a rich diversity of parasites and includes many families and species that are known to cause serious medical condition in humans and domestic and wild animals. despite various attempts to resolve phylogenetic relationships at the inter-family level, uncertainty remains. in order to add resolution to the existing phylogeny of the order, we generated partial mtco1 sequences for some commonly occurring cyclophyllidean cestodes and combined them w ... | 2016 | 27126083 |
