| first parasitological, histopathological and molecular characterization of echinococcus vogeli rausch and bernstein, 1972 from cuniculus paca linnaeus, 1766 in the cerrado biome (mato grosso do sul, brazil). | polycystic echinococcosis (pe) is caused by echinococcus vogeli metacestodes (larval stage) in neotropical countries. e. vogeli is trophically-transmitted between predators bush dogs (speothos venaticus) and prey pacas (cuniculus paca). in brazil, reported pe cases are restricted to the amazon biome. in this study, metacestodes from a paca hunted in mato grosso do sul state (cerrado biome) were identified morphological and histopathological techniques and further confirmed by molecular testing ( ... | 2018 | 29329621 |
