| alveolar hydatid disease (echinococcus multilocularis) in the liver of a canadian dog in british columbia, a newly endemic region. | an adult dog that lived in central british columbia was examined because of a history of lethargy and vomiting. histology, immunohistochemistry, and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) examination of a hepatic mass confirmed the presence of an alveolar hydatid cyst, the first description of echinococcus multilocularis in british columbia. we provide recommendations for case management and remind practitioners in endemic areas of western canada that dogs can serve as definitive and, rarely, intermedi ... | 2012 | 23372195 |
| establishment of a european-type strain of echinococcus multilocularis in canadian wildlife. | in 2009, a haplotype closely related to european strains of echinococcus multilocularis was detected in a dog from the quesnel region of british columbia, canada. we now report the establishment of this same haplotype in 7 coyotes (canis latrans) trapped within 40 km of quesnel, bc. in addition, 3 coyotes and 1 red fox (vulpes vulpes) harboured adult cestodes morphologically compatible with that of e. multilocularis (overall prevalence 33% in 33 carnivores). none of 156 potential intermediate ho ... | 2013 | 23714582 |
| introduced and native haplotypes of echinococcus multilocularis in wildlife in saskatchewan, canada. | recent detection of a european-type haplotype of the cestode echinococcus multilocularis in a newly enzootic region in british columbia prompted efforts to determine if this haplotype was present elsewhere in wildlife in western canada. in coyote (canis latrans) definitive hosts in an urban region in central saskatchewan (sk), we found a single haplotype of e. multilocularis that was most similar to a haplotype currently established in the core of this parasite's distribution in europe and to th ... | 2015 | 26020284 |
| infection of a goeldi's monkey (callimico goeldii) with a european strain of echinococcus multilocularis in a canadian institution. | a 12-yr-old female goeldi's monkey (callimico goeldii) in british columbia, canada was diagnosed with alveolar echinococcosis (ae) on postmortem examination. echinococcus multilocularis has been identified in several species of nonhuman primates, most frequently old world primates, in zoos and research facilities in europe and asia. the strain affecting this monkey was identified as a european haplotype, indistinguishable from e. multilocularis recently identified in several canids in british co ... | 2015 | 26056899 |
