| first report of echinococcus shiquicus in dogs from eastern qinghai-tibet plateau region, china. | echinococcus shiquicus was discovered in foxes and pika wildlife hosts in sichuan province, china in 2005. faecal samples from dogs collected in a previous echinococcosis purgation survey from shiqu county, ganzi tibetan autonomous prefecture (sichuan) were screened by copropcr to investigate the possible occurrence of e. shiquicus. in addition, coprodna extracted from 8 necropsied tibetan foxes (vulpes ferrilata), the natural host of e. shiquicus, were also included. thirty (6/20) percent of fa ... | 2013 | 23507509 |
| survey on helminths in the small intestine of wild foxes in qinghai, china. | the intestinal helminth fauna of tibetan sand foxes (vulpes ferrilata) and red foxes (vulpes vulpes) inhabiting in qinghai, china, was evaluated by conducting necropsy of hunted foxes and fecal egg examination of field-collected feces. in northeast and south qinghai, 36 foxes were necropsied, and the species of foxes and the parasites detected were identified by the dna barcoding. in 27 red foxes and 9 tibetan sand foxes examined, mesocestoides litteratus (total prevalence: 64%), toxascaris leon ... | 2013 | 23749034 |
| echinococcus shiquicus, a new species from the qinghai-tibet plateau region of china: discovery and epidemiological implications. | in shiqu county of the qinghai-tibet plateau, many wild and domestic mammals are involved in the transmission cycles of echinococcus spp. echinococcus multilocularis and echinococcus granulosus genotype g1 (sheep strain) are sympatrically distributed in the plateau. in 1995, we identified a unique strobilate stage of echinococcus from the tibetan fox, vulpes ferrilata, but considered it to be a variant of e. multilocularis. subsequent molecular genetic studies revealed that a hydatid cyst from t ... | 2006 | 16337180 |
| echinococcus shiquicus n. sp., a taeniid cestode from tibetan fox and plateau pika in china. | the taeniid cestode echinococcus shiquicus n. sp. was found from the tibetan fox vulpes ferrilata and the plateau pika ochotona curzoniae in the qinghai-tibet plateau region of china. in the adult stage, e. shiquicus from the foxes is morphologically similar to echinococcus multilocularis. however, the new species is differentiated by its smaller rostellar hooks, fewer segments, distinct position of genital pore in the mature segment and fewer eggs in the gravid segment. hydatid cysts of e. shiq ... | 2005 | 15862582 |
| [species identification of echinococcus isolates collected from canines and tibetan foxes in chengduo county, qinghai province]. | to identify echinococcus isolates collected from tibetan foxes(vulpes ferrilata) and dogs in chengduo county, yushu prefecture, qinghai province. | 2013 | 24812854 |
| [biological features of a new echinococcus species (echinococcus shiquicus) in the east of qinghai-tibet plateau]. | in the eastern qinghai-tibet plateau region, a variety of domestic and wild mammals are involved in the transmission cycles of echinococcus species. e. granulosus and e. multilocularis are known being sympatrically distributed in the plateau region. recently, an unknown echinococcus species was isolated from infected plateau pika (ochotona curzoniae) and tibetan fox (vulpes ferrilata). the species shows quite distinct characteristics on morphology, genetics, host specificity and geographical dis ... | 2008 | 24818378 |
