| lung nematodes of chamois in the low tatra national park, slovakia. | chamois (rupicapra rupicapra tatrica) in the low tatra national park are largely infected with the lungworms muellerius capillaris and m. tenuispiculatus and sporadically with dictyocaulus viviparus. the mean number of first stage larvae (l1) per gram of faeces collected at chamois stands over the years 1981-1988 varied between 28.2 (+/- 11.9) and 61.6 (+/- 35.9). the degree of infection in chamois herds was significantly higher in the spring and autumn months, except for the spring of 1981, tha ... | 1994 | 7706685 |
| lung nematodes of chamois, rupicapra rupicapra tatrica, from the tatra national park, slovakia. | a larvoscopic examination of faeces collected from localities inhibited by chamois in the tatra national park (tanap) in 1997 demonstrated the presence of the lung nematodes muellerius spp. (likely to be m. tenuispiculatus and m. capillaris) and neostrongylus linearis. the overall prevalence of lung nematodes in chamois herds in tanap was 48.4% with prevalences of 45.6% and 11.9% for muellerius spp. and n. linearis, respectively. no significant differences in lung nematode prevalences were obser ... | 1999 | 10526420 |
| hepatitis e virus antibody prevalence in wildlife in poland. | hepatitis e is an important public health problem mostly in developing but occasionally also in industrialized countries. domestic and wildlife animals are considered reservoirs of the hepatitis e virus (hev). since no information on the prevalence of autochthonous hev infections in human and animal in poland is available, the aim of the study was to investigate the hev seroprevalence of different wildlife species as potential virus reservoirs in the country. no hev antibodies were found in any ... | 2015 | 24655475 |
| first molecular characterization of sarcocystis tenella in tatra chamois (rupicapra rupicapra tatrica) in poland. | in this study, sarcocysts from three polish tatra chamois were isolated and identified using morphological and molecular methods for the first time. six cysts were found in the latissimus dorsi muscle and another two in the diaphragm. no sarcocysts were detected in the myocardium, tongue, and esophagus. the isolated cysts were long with rounded ends, 0.35-0.61 mm in length, and 0.02-0.06 mm in width. all the sarcocysts were identified as sarcocystis tenella on the basis of light microscopy and s ... | 2015 | 26202841 |
