| ectoparasites of the endangered iberian lynx lynx pardinus and sympatric wild and domestic carnivores in spain. | ectoparasites can cause important skin disorders in animals and can also transmit pathogens. the iberian lynx lynx pardinus has been stated to be the most endangered felid in the world and such vector-borne pathogens may threaten its survival. we surveyed 98 wild carnivores (26 iberian lynxes, 34 red foxes vulpes vulpes, 24 egyptian mongooses herpestes ichneumon, 11 common genets genetta genetta, two eurasian badgers meles meles, one polecat mustela putorius) and 75 domestic but free-ranging car ... | 2007 | 17897365 |
| ectoparasites on reintroduced roe deer capreolus capreolus in israel. | the ectoparasite fauna of reintroduced roe deer (capreolus capreolus) was surveyed in a mediterranean forest in israel. ectoparasites were collected from four female hand-reared deer during 2004 and 2005. seasonality, predilection sites of infestation, and the apparent effect of the parasites are presented. this is the first study of roe deer parasites in the east mediterranean. the ectoparasite fauna included three hippoboscid fly (lipoptena capreoli, hippobosca equina, and hippobosca longipenn ... | 2008 | 18689655 |
| hippobosca longipennis - a potential intermediate host of a species of acanthocheilonema in dogs in northern india. | abstract: background: hippobosca longipennis (the 'dog louse fly') is a blood sucking ectoparasite found on wild carnivores such as cheetahs and lions and domesticated and feral dogs in africa, the middle east and asia, including china. known as an intermediate host for acanthocheilonema dracunculoides and a transport host for cheyletiella yasguri, it has also been suggested that h. longipennis may be a vector for other pathogens, including acanthocheilonema sp. ? nov., which was recently report ... | 2011 | 21781294 |
| diagnosis of imported canine filarial infections in germany 2008 - 2010. | filarial infections of dogs are attracting attention across europe because of the risk of spread into previously non-endemic areas (e.g. dirofilaria repens with culicidae as vectors) and as emerging zoonotic agents. the occurrence of filarial infections in german dogs has been analysed based on 8,545 samples collected either from imported animals or following travel into endemic regions. all samples were tested by means of modified knott's test and heartworm antigen assay within the period 2008 ... | 2011 | 21739376 |
| prevalence of keds on city dogs in central poland. | the aim of this study was to identify the species of ked infesting dogs in the cities of central poland. a total of 510 dogs were observed between june and september 2015. the presence of keds was noted in 182 (35.7%) animals. keds were more prevalent in female (38.0%) than in male (33.2%) dogs, and were more frequently found in animals younger than 1 year (46.2%) and in long-haired dogs (36.6%). the body areas most heavily colonized by keds were the groin (35.4%) and neck (21.4%). a total of 90 ... | 2017 | 27859424 |
| ultrastructural investigation of antennae in three cutaneous myiasis flies: melophagus ovinus, hippobosca equina, and hippobosca longipennis (diptera: hippoboscidae). | melophagus ovinus (linnaeus 1758), hippobosca equina linnaeus, 1758, and hippobosca longipennis fabricius, 1805 (diptera: hippoboscidae) are economically and medically important ectoparasites that can act as mechanic vectors of pathogens and cause myiasis in both human and domestic animals. as essential olfactory organs, antennae of these adult hippoboscids were examined using stereoscopic and scanning electron microscopes. general morphology of the antenna is provided in detail, combined with d ... | 2015 | 25707367 |
