| bilharziasis in a nanday conure. | natural infection with a schistosome in a pet nanday conure caused weight loss, blood-flecked diarrhea, and death. hemorrhagicoulcerative colitis and cloacitis were found at necropsy. the schistosome was not identified but was believed to be gigantobilharzia sp. | 1978 | 659304 |

| new intermediate host records for the avian schistosomes dendritobilharzia pulverulenta, gigantobilharzia huronensis and trichobilharzia querquedulae from north america. | abstract here, we provide the first north american report of a naturally infected snail, gyraulus parvus, harboring the larval stages of the cosmopolitan, arterial schistosome, dendritobilharzia pulverulenta. the relatively small cercariae of this species are shed in the early morning, are sticky, and adhere to the water's surface film. we also provide a report of the snail host, physa gyrina, of the widespread north american passerine schistosome, gigantobilharzia huronensis. finally, we provid ... | 2011 | 21506803 |
| ecological factors in schistosome transmission, and an environmentally benign method for controlling snails in a recreational lake with a record of schistosome dermatitis. | the avian schistosomes, trichobilharzia stagnicolae, t. physellae and gigantobilharzia sp., that cause schistosome dermatitis (swimmers' itch) in humans were studied in the laboratory and at cultus lake, british columbia, canada in relation to the biology and behavior of their intermediate snail hosts, stagnicola catascopium, physa sp. and gyraulus parvus, respectively, and their definite bird hosts. wind-driven, surface currents were measured. populations of snails, close to host-bird roosting ... | 2000 | 10729712 |

| schistosome infection in the kelp gull, larus dominicanus, from port elizabeth, republic of south africa. | a schistosome infection, cf gigantobilharzia sp., is recorded from a south african coastal bird, larus dominicanus, for the first time. the histological response to the presence of the worms and their eggs was considered to be unusually mild. these eggs were all immature and were found only in the mucosa of the gut wall. this raises questions about the oviposition behaviour of the female worm. | 1986 | 3734398 |
| parasitological and molecular study of the furcocercariae from melanoides tuberculata as a probable agent of cercarial dermatitis. | cercarial dermatitis is caused by animal schistosomes in many parts of the world including iran. various stages of the parasites have been studied in intermediate and definitive hosts in northern and southwestern iran; however, no molecular investigation for species identification and classification of these agents has been carried out, so far. in the present study, more than 3,800 aquatic snails were collected from water sources of khuzestan, southwest iran. the snails were identified as lymnae ... | 2010 | 21046153 |

| bird schistosomes in planorbid snails in the czech republic. | bird schistosomes have been in focus as causative agents of cercarial dermatitis of humans in the last years; however, our knowledge of their species spectrum and intermediate host specificity is still insufficient. our study focused on bird schistosomes developing in planorbid snails that have been less studied so far. from 2001 to 2010, cercariae of bird schistosomes were found in four snail species (gyraulus albus, segmentina nitida, anisus vortex and planorbis planorbis) from seven localitie ... | 2011 | 22079682 |

| allobilharzia visceralis gen. nov., sp. nov. (schistosomatidae-trematoda) from cygnus cygnus (l.) (anatidae). | in iceland, the examination of whooper swans (cygnus cygnus l.) viscera resulted in the detection of adult digenean flukes of the family schistosomatidae. the mature worms occurring in the blood vessels of the large intestine and mesenterium caused vascular lesions, around the eggs deposited in the intestinal mucosa and liver granulomatous reactions developed. the morphology of the isolated schistosomes shows certain similarity with the flukes of the genus trichobilharzia; in males reduced gynec ... | 2006 | 16627001 |
