| increasing circulation of alaria alata mesocercaria in wild boar populations of the rhine valley, france, 2007-2011. | the presence of the mesocercarial stage of alaria alata (goeze, 1792) in wild boar meat represents a potential risk for human, but little is known about the circulation of mesocercaria in wild boar populations. routine trichinella inspection, mandatorily performed in wild boar in france, also allowed detecting mesocercaria. we analyzed the results of this detection in the carcasses of 27,582 wild boars hunted in 2007-2011, in 502 hunting areas of the rhine valley. prevalence was globally low (0. ... | 2014 | 24262388 |
| environmental determinants of the spatial distribution of alaria alata in hungary. | alaria alata is a potential zoonotic parasite, which is widely distributed in eurasia. to assess the risk of human infection, it is important to know the spatial distribution pattern of the parasite and factors influencing this pattern. to investigate these relationships, 1612 red fox (vulpes vulpes) carcasses were randomly collected from the whole hungarian territory, and the intestines were examined by sedimentation and counting technique. the spatial distribution of the parasite was highly cl ... | 2013 | 24011677 |
| levels of infection of intestinal helminth species in the golden jackal canis aureus from serbia. | during the past decade, golden jackal populations have substantially increased, yet little is known of their potential for transmitting parasites within animal and human hosts. in the present study, between 2005 and 2010, 447 jackals from six localities in serbia were examined for intestinal parasites. two species of trematodes (alaria alata, pseudamphistomum truncatum), three nematodes (toxocara canis, ancylostoma caninum, gongylonema sp.), and seven cestodes (taenia pisiformis, taenia hydatige ... | 2015 | 23941681 |
| alaria alata mesocercariae in raccoons (procyon lotor) in germany. | alaria alata is a trematode of carnivores from europe. the mesocercarial stage was recently identified in wild boar meat from europe. previous histopathologic studies showed the presence of unidentified parasitic cysts within the tongues of raccoons from northern germany. for identification of the parasite species, tissue samples of 105 raccoons originating from a national park in northern germany and from berlin metropolitan area were collected. histological examination of cryotome sections of ... | 2013 | 23892481 |
| alaria alata mesocercariae in wild boar (sus scrofa, linnaeus, 1758) in south regions of the czech republic. | from march 2012 to february 2013, 221 wild boar carcasses obtained from regular hunts in the czech republic were tested for alaria alata mesocercariae using the alaria-migration-technique. most samples originated from south moravia (173), and all 15 positive samples were found in this region, in particular in tvrdonice (3/10) and lanžhot (12/28), close to the site of the first description of this parasitic stage in wild boars in the territory of former čssr. these hunting grounds are located bet ... | 2013 | 23806746 |
| first interlaboratory test for the detection of alaria spp. mesocercariae in meat samples using the alaria spp. mesocercariae migration technique (amt). | emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases affect both public and animal health and require the development and contemporary implementation of suitable detection methods. a growing number of findings of the mesocercarial stage of the digenean trematode alaria alata in game inhabiting wetlands have necessitated the development of a specific detection method. with the alaria spp. mesocercariae migration technique (amt), a specific and sensitive detection method is now available. to make the method ... | 2013 | 23604569 |
| first detection of alaria alata mesocercariae in wild boars (sus scrofa linnaeus, 1758) from bulgaria. | the trematode alaria alata, an intestinal parasite of different carnivore species is widely distributed throughout europe. the mesocercarial stages of alaria spp. may infect almost all vertebrate species, including humans, and, in particular, omnivorous scavengers such as wild boars serve as paratenic hosts for the parasite. the introduction of the a. alata mesocercariae migration technique (amt) opened the way to a reliable detection of alaria spp. mesocercariae in different body tissues of the ... | 2014 | 23374251 |
| detection of planorbis planorbis and anisus vortex as first intermediate hosts of alaria alata (goeze, 1792) in natural conditions in france: molecular evidence. | alaria alata (goeze, 1792), a trematode that parasitizes canids, usually needs two intermediate hosts to complete its life cycle: an aquatic freshwater snail and an amphibian. although many studies have been undertaken on the wild boar's role as paratenic host, owing to the potential threat to human health, few have sought to identify the snails that act as first intermediate hosts in natural conditions. adopting a molecular approach, with specific markers for a portion of the second internal tr ... | 2012 | 22795938 |
| the prevalence and distribution of alaria alata, a potential zoonotic parasite, in foxes in ireland. | the digenean trematode alaria alata, an intestinal parasite of wild canids is widely distributed in europe. the recent finding of the mesocercarial life cycle stage in the paratenic wild boar host suggests that it may potentially infect humans mohl et al. (parasitol res 105:1-15, 2009). over 500 foxes were examined during a wildlife survey for zoonotic diseases in 2009 and 2010. the prevalence of a. alata ranged from 21% to 26% in 2009 and 2010, and the intensity of infection varied, with the ma ... | 2012 | 22350672 |
| pathological findings in the red fox (vulpes vulpes), stone marten (martes foina) and raccoon dog (nyctereutes procyonoides), with special emphasis on infectious and zoonotic agents in northern germany. | anthropogenic landscape changes contributed to the reduction of availability of habitats to wild animals. hence, the presence of wild terrestrial carnivores in urban and peri-urban sites has increased considerably over the years implying an increased risk of interspecies spillover of infectious diseases and the transmission of zoonoses. the present study provides a detailed characterisation of the health status of the red fox (vulpes vulpes), stone marten (martes foina) and raccoon dog (nyctereu ... | 2017 | 28399176 |
| survey on helminths in the small intestine of wild foxes in qinghai, china. | the intestinal helminth fauna of tibetan sand foxes (vulpes ferrilata) and red foxes (vulpes vulpes) inhabiting in qinghai, china, was evaluated by conducting necropsy of hunted foxes and fecal egg examination of field-collected feces. in northeast and south qinghai, 36 foxes were necropsied, and the species of foxes and the parasites detected were identified by the dna barcoding. in 27 red foxes and 9 tibetan sand foxes examined, mesocestoides litteratus (total prevalence: 64%), toxascaris leon ... | 2013 | 23749034 |
| [helminth findings in indigenous raccoon dogs nyctereutes procyonoides (gray, 1843)]. | internal organs of 74 racoon dogs originating from the eastern districts of the federal land brandenburg were subjected to a complete helminthological dissection. in addition, samples of diaphragma muscles from 46 further animals were examined for trichinella larvae. altogether 3 trematode- (alaria alata, isthmiophora melis, metorchis bilis), 3 cestode- (mesocestoides sp., echinococcus multilocularis, taenia polyacantha) and 7 nematode species (capillaria aerophila, c. plica, trichinella spirali ... | 2001 | 11505800 |
