novel and canine genotypes of giardia duodenalis in harbor seals ( phoca vitulina richardsi).feces of harbor seals (phoca vitulina richardsi) and hybrid glaucous-winged/western gulls (larus glaucescens / occidentalis) from washington state's inland marine waters were examined for giardia and cryptosporidium spp. to determine if genotypes carried by these wildlife species were the same genotypes that commonly infect humans and domestic animals. using immunomagnetic separation followed by direct fluorescent antibody detection, giardia spp. cysts were detected in 42% of seal fecal samples ...200818576720
the identification of a new giardia duodenalis assemblage in marine vertebrates and a preliminary analysis of g. duodenalis population biology in marine systems.giardia duodenalis is an intestinal parasite of many vertebrates. the presence of g. duodenalis in the marine environment due to anthropogenic and wildlife activity is well documented, including the contributions from untreated sewage and storm water, agricultural run-off and droppings from terrestrial animals. recently, studies have detected this protistan parasite in the faeces of marine vertebrates such as whales, dolphins, seals and shore birds. to explore the population biology of g. duoden ...201020361967
brucella pinnipedialis infections in pacific harbor seals (phoca vitulina richardsi) from washington state, usa.in 1994 a novel brucella sp., later named b. pinnipedialis, was identified in stranded harbor seals (phoca vitulina). this brucella sp. is a potential zoonotic pathogen and is capable of causing disease in domestic animals. serologic, microbiologic, and pathologic data collected from live captured and stranded harbor seals were used to better describe the epizootiology of b. pinnipedialis in harbor seals from washington state, usa, in 1994 through 2006. we found no sex predilection in harbor sea ...201324502708
