| prevalence, risk factors and molecular characterization of enterocytozoon bieneusi in raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) in five provinces of northern china. | the disease microsporidiosis is found worldwide and is mainly caused by enterocytozoon bieneusi. e. bieneusi can infect a wide range of hosts; however, information regarding the prevalence and genotyping of e. bieneusi infection in raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) is limited. therefore, in 2015, we examined 305 faecel samples from 80 farmed raccoon dogs in jilin province, from 54 in hebei province, from 72 in liaoning province, from 29 in shandong province, and from 40 in heilongjiang pro ... | 2016 | 27260667 |
| molecular detection and genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii in farmed raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) in shandong province, eastern china. | toxoplasma gondii is a successful opportunistic parasite, affecting a wide range of vertebrate animals and humans. genetic diversity of t. gondii in raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) is of great importance to understand the transmission of t. gondii in the environment. however, no information is available about the distribution of genetic diversity of t. gondii infection in raccoon dogs. this study was conducted to estimate the prevalence and genetic characterization of t. gondii from racc ... | 2017 | 28476602 |
| occurrence and multilocus genotyping of giardia intestinalis assemblage c and d in farmed raccoon dogs, nyctereutes procyonoides, in china. | giardia intestinalis, the only causative agent of human giardiasis, can infect a wide range of animals. as no information concerning the prevalence and genotyping of g. intestinalis in raccoon dogs in china is available, examination of 305 faecal samples from raccoon dogs in jilin province (n = 110), heilongjiang province (n = 40), liaoning province (n = 72), hebei province (n = 54) and shandong province (n = 29) was conducted to estimate the prevalence of g. intestinalis in raccoon dogs in nort ... | 2016 | 27576343 |
| seroprevalence and risk factors of toxoplasma gondii infection in farmed raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) in china. | toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite, can infect homoiothermal vertebrate animals, including raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides). regretfully, data on t. gondii infection in raccoon dogs were limited in china. therefore, to investigate the seroprevalence and to evaluate risk factors for t. gondii infection in raccoon dogs, a total of 1181 raccoon dog blood samples were collected from jilin and shandong provinces, china, from september to december 2014. the antib ... | 2017 | 27893338 |
