| a real-time multiplex-nested pcr system for coprological diagnosis of echinococcus multilocularis and host species. | a hybridization probe-based real-time multiplex-nested pcr system was developed for the simultaneous detection of echinococcus multilocularis and host species directly from faecal samples. species identification was determined by melting curve analysis. specificity was assessed by using dna extracted from various cestodes (e. multilocularis, echinococcus granulosus (g1), echinococcus ortleppi, echinococcus canadensis (g6, g7), taenia crassiceps, taenia hydatigena, taenia mustelae, taenia pisifor ... | 2011 | 21327991 |
| the common vole, microtus arvalis pall. as intermediate host of mesocestoides (cestoda) in germany. | tetrathyridia of mesocestoides leptothylacus loos-frank, 1980 were found in 1.4% of 513 common voles (microtus arvalis) in a district of southwest germany where foxes (vulpes vulpes) are frequently infected with this tapeworm. the tetrathyridia measured 1 to 1.5 mm in length and 0.5 to 1 mm in width. when injected intraperitoneally into white mice, jirds, or common voles, the tetrathyridia did not multiply. cats fed with the larvae shed proglottids from the 21st day onwards. in one experimentall ... | 1980 | 7006239 |
