| preliminary observations on infection of brackish and fresh water fish by heterophyid encysted metacercariae in egypt. | the infection status with heterophyids in the second intermediate host fish obtained from brackish and fresh water resources in dakahlia governorate, northern egypt was investigated. encysted metacercariae (emc) in the fish species mugil cephalus, mugil capito, mugil auratus, tilapia nilotica, and tilapia zilli from brackish water and t. nilotica and t. zilli from fresh water were isolated by artificial digestion method and identified by microscopic examination. morphometric analysis of emc isol ... | 2008 | 18537032 |
| helminthes of synanthropic rodents (rodentia: muridae) from dakahlia and menoufia, egypt. | a cross-sectional survey was conducted to monitor and compare the prevalence of helminthes in rodents from dakahlia and menoufia governorates. the domestic rodents (271) were rattus norvegicus, rattus rattus frugivorous, rattus r. alexandrinus, & mus musculus. the overall prevalence of helminthes was 52.8%. in dakahlia, 72/145 rats (49.6%) were infected. the highest prevalence of infection was in r. r. frugivorous 43 (60.4%), then r. r. alexandrinus 44 (47.7%), r. norvegicus 38 (44.7%), and the ... | 2008 | 19209758 |
| encysted metacercariae of family heterophyidae in infected fish in dakahlia governorate, an endemic focus in egypt. | the study re-evaluated the status of encysted metacercariae (emc) of family heterophyidae in fresh and brackish water fish in an endemic focus in egypt, as well as to study their morphological pattern. seasonal variation of emc was matched with their prevalence and intensity in infected fish. the study covered a period of one year from first of april 2011 to end of march 2012. the total percent of infection in the examined fish was 71.9% and 42.6% for brackish and fresh water respectively. the h ... | 2014 | 25643497 |
