| studies on the prevalence and the transmission of lung and stomach nematodes of the wild boar (sus scrofa) in france. | five species of lung nematodes (metastrongylus asymmetricus, m. confusus, m. elongatus, m. pudendotectus, m. salmi) and two species of stomach nematodes (ascarops strongylina, physocephalus sexalatus) were found in the wild boars (sus scrofa) in france. prevalence of lung nematodes was 92% (no significant difference between closed reserve and open areas could be demonstrated) and 97% for stomach nematodes. in both cases, intensity of infection was significantly greater in young wild boars (age l ... | 1989 | 2788229 |
| study by ribosomal dna its 2 sequencing and rapd analysis on the systematics of four metastrongylus species (nematoda:metastrongyloidea). | four species of lungworms of the metastrongylus genus are found sympatrically in the lungs of the wild boars (sus scrofa l.) on the chambord game reserve (france): metastrongylus asymmetricus, m. confusus, m. pudendotectus, and m. salmi. these species are difficult to identify using morphological characters alone, and epidemiological evidence raises doubt about the existence of 4 distinct species. two molecular approaches (sequencing of ribosomal dna internal transcribed spacer 2 [its 2] and ran ... | 1997 | 9267399 |
| visceral helminths of wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax) in japan, with special reference to a new species of the genus morgascaridia inglis, 1958 (nematoda: schneidernematidae). | twenty-nine japanese wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax), collected during the hunting seasons of 2005 and 2006 in the western part of the mainland of japan (honshu), were examined for their visceral helminths. eighteen helminth parasites were prevalent in them, including 17 nematoda species (metastrongylus elongatus, metastrongylus salmi, metastrongylus asymmetricus, metastrongylus pudendotechus, stephanurus dentatus, gnathostoma doloresi, physocephalus sexulata, ascarops strongylina, capillari ... | 2008 | 18328113 |
| [the first record of the lungworm, metastrongylus asymmetricus (noda, 1973), in the wild boar from poland]. | a total of 17 wild boars (sus scrofa) shot in the miechów hunting area (southern poland) during two consecutive winters of 2008, were surveyed for the presence of lung nematodes of the genus metastrongylus. the animals were necropsied, their lungs removed, divided into smaller parts and examined along the bronchial tubes. the parasites found were identified based on their morphologic characters. the prevalence of the lungworms reached 76.5%, and all of the 13 infected animals harboured two (one ... | 2009 | 19856839 |
| lung parasites of the genus metastrongylus molin, 1861 (nematoda: metastrongilidae) in wild boar (sus scrofa l., 1758) in central-italy: an eco-epidemiological study. | the respiratory tracts of 57 wild boars (sus scrofa l. 1758) hunted in central italy during the 2011/2012 hunting season were examined to detect the presence of lung worms. fifty-five out of 57 animals (96,5%) were positive. five species of metastrongylus were detected and their prevalence was as follows: metastrongylus asymmetricus noda, 1973 (91.2%), metastrongylus confusus jansen, 1964 and metastrongylus salmi gedoelst, 1923 (87.7%), metastrongylus apri gmelin, 1790 (80.7%), metastrongylus pu ... | 2016 | 26827860 |
