| [prevalence of echinococcus multilocularis and other metacestodes and cestodes in the muskrat (ondatra zibethicus link 1795) in lower saxony]. | aim of the study was to examine the prevalence and regional distribution of echinococcus multilocularis and other metacestodes and cestodes in muskrats in lower saxony, germany. a total of 991 muskrats with similar numbers from all districts of the country were examined between january and december 1995. e. multilocularis metacestodes were found in 4.1% of the muskrats in the liver and other organs of the abdominal cavity. the majority of the e. multilocularis positive animals came from the sout ... | 1997 | 9445787 |
| [nematode and trematode fauna of the muskrat (ondatra zibethicus link, 1795) in lower saxony]. | from january 1995 to december 1995, 991 muskrats were examined for the occurrence and the regional prevalence of nematodes and trematodes. the muskrats were trapped in all parts of lower saxony. 77.2% of the studied population were less than one year old, 22.8% were older. the male to female ratio was 54.5% to 45.5%. one genus of nematodes, trichuris spp., was found in the colon in 1.9% of the animals in the south of the investigated area. a species differentiation was not possible, as exclusive ... | 1997 | 9451855 |
| distribution of rodenticide resistance and zoonotic pathogens in norway rats in lower saxony and hamburg, germany. | genetically based resistance to anticoagulants has led to increasing difficulties in the control of rodents over recent decades. the possible impact of rodenticide-resistant rats on the infection risk of humans and livestock by zoonotic pathogens is generally unknown. hence, in a monitoring programme in the german federal states of lower saxony and hamburg, more than 500 norway rats were analysed for both tyr139cys polymorphisms within the vkorc1 gene and zoonotic agents. | 2013 | 22888034 |
| spatial analysis of leptospira infection in muskrats in lower saxony, germany, and the association with human leptospirosis. | leptospirosis has been reported as an emerging zoonosis and the most widespread zoonotic disease in the world. muskrats (ondatra zibethicus) have been known to carry leptospira serovars, which have been linked to weil's disease - a serious and life threatening disease in humans. in this study, muskrats were sampled across 43 regions of lower saxony, germany, during 2007 to 2009 and were tested for leptospirosis using polymerase chain reaction (pcr). circular and flexibly shaped spatial scan test ... | 2017 | 28668503 |
