| morphological and molecular data on the dermal microfilariae of a species of cercopithifilaria from a dog in sicily. | dermal microfilariae found in a dog from sicily, italy, were characterized morphologically and genetically and differentiated from those of all the other blood microfilariae commonly found in dogs. in particular, the microfilariae were short (mean length of 186.7++m), presented a body flattened dorso-ventrally and a rounded head, bearing a tiny cephalic hook. the genetic identity of microfilariae herein studied was also assessed by molecular amplification, sequencing and analyzing of multiple ri ... | 2011 | 21705146 |
| redescription of cercopithifilaria bainae almeida & vicente, 1984 (spirurida, onchocercidae) from a dog in sardinia, italy. | three species of the genus cercopithifilaria have been morphologically and molecularly characterized in dog populations in southern europe: cercopithifilaria grassii (noè, 1907), cercopithifilaria sp. sensu otranto et al., 2011 (reported as cercopithifilaria sp. i), and cercopithifilaria sp. ii sensu otranto et al., 2012. the adults of cercopithifilaria sp. i have remained unknown until the present study. | 2013 | 23642161 |
| cercopithifilaria sp. ii in vulpes vulpes: new host affiliation for an enigmatic canine filarioid. | cercopithifilaria bainae and cercopithifilaria grassii (spirurida, onchocercidae) are filarioids inhabiting the skin of dogs worldwide. the microfilariae of a third species namely, cercopithifilaria sp. ii sensu otranto et al. 2013, have been morphologically and molecularly characterized but scientific knowledge of this parasite is minimal. the first case of infection of a red fox (vulpes vulpes) with the filarioid cercopithifilaria sp. ii is herein described in castro marim, portugal. microfila ... | 2017 | 27838834 |
| species diversity of dermal microfilariae of the genus cercopithifilaria infesting dogs in the mediterranean region. | following the recent description of microfilariae of a cercopithifilaria sp. in a dog from sicily, italy, (herein after referred to as cercopithifilaria sp. i), numerous skin samples were collected from dogs in the mediterranean region. in addition to cercopithifilaria sp. i (185·7 ± 7·2 μm long), microfilariae of 2 other species were identified, namely cercopithifilaria grassii (651·7 ± 23·6 μm long) and a yet undescribed microfilaria, cercopithifilaria sp. ii (264·4 ± 20·2 μm long, with eviden ... | 2013 | 22914299 |
