| epidemiological studies on echinococcus in pampas fox (lycalopex gymnocercus) and european hare (lepus europaeus) in buenos aires province, argentina. | in argentina, hydatid disease caused by echinococcus granulosus is widespread. the south of buenos aires province, argentina, is one of the three regions where hydatidosis is endemic. although domestic dogs and sheep are considered to be the main hosts for e. granulosus, the potential role of wildlife in the local transmission of e. granulosus has not been investigated. the aim of this study was to estimate the hydatidosis/echinococcosis prevalence in european hare (lepus europaeus) and pampas f ... | 2013 | 23892482 |
| the pampas fox (lycalopex gymnocercus) as new definitive host for spirometra erinacei (cestoda: diphyllobothriidae). | spirometra erinacei, faust, campbell and kellogg, 1929, is a pseudophyllidean cestode of the family diphyllobothriidae. the genus spirometra is cosmopolitan and these parasites infect carnivores, specially felids and canids. in argentina, s. erinacei and s. mansonoides have been reported sporadically only in domestic definitive hosts. the pampas fox, lycalopex gymnocercus, is the most abundant native carnivore in southern south america, where it inhabits grasslands and open woodlands and areas h ... | 2014 | 24561071 |
| survey and first molecular characterization of echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (g1) in pampas fox (lycalopex gymnocercus) in buenos aires province, argentina. | echinococcosis is a zoonosis caused by tapeworms of the genus echinococcus. echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s. l.) has a world-wide distribution and its transmission is primarily maintained in a synanthropic cycle with dogs as definitive hosts and livestock species as intermediate hosts. however, many wild canids also function as definitive hosts for e. granulosus s. l. echinococcosis in humans is mainly caused by e. granulosus sensu stricto (s. s.) g1 genotype. in the present work, we expan ... | 2016 | 26892869 |

| ancylostoma (ancylostoma) buckleyi (nematoda: ancylostomatidae): new wild host and distribution expansion. | here we report the occurrence of ancylostoma (ancylostoma) buckleyi (le roux and biocca, 1957) (nematoda: ancylostomatidae) in the small intestine of pampas foxes (lycalopex gymnocercus) (mammalia: canidae). this fox is the most abundant native carnivore in southern south america, where it inhabits grasslands, open woodlands and areas highly modified by extensive ranching and agricultural activities. material from 80 foxes in rural areas of southern buenos aires province, argentina was examined. ... | 2016 | 27334825 |
