| Helminths of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Lithuania. | SUMMARYRed foxes and raccoon dogs are hosts for a wide range of parasites including important zoonotic helminths. The raccoon dog has recently invaded into Europe from the east. The contribution of this exotic species to the epidemiology of parasitic diseases, particularly parasitic zoonoses is unknown. The helminth fauna and the abundance of helminth infections were determined in 310 carcasses of hunted red foxes and 99 of raccoon dogs ... | 2011 | 21996514 |
| detection of taeniid (taenia spp., echinococcus spp.) eggs contaminating vegetables and fruits sold in european markets and the risk for metacestode infections in captive primates. | due to frequent cases of alveolar echinococcosis (ae) in captive primates in europe, 141 samples of food, which consisting of vegetables and fruits, were investigated for contamination with egg-dna of taeniids. each sample consisted of at least 40 heads of lettuce as well as various vegetables and fruits. the samples were purchased at different times of the year: either from september to november (autumn), originating from greenhouses or fields in the basel region in the north of switzerland, or ... | 2016 | 27556010 |
| taeniid species of the iberian wolf (canis lupus signatus) in portugal with special focus on echinococcus spp. | taeniid species represent relevant pathogens in human and animals, circulating between carnivorous definitive hosts and a variety of mammalian intermediate hosts. in portugal, however, little is known about their occurrence and life cycles, especially in wild hosts. an epidemiological survey was conducted to clarify the role of the iberian wolf as a definitive host for taeniid species, including echinococcus spp. wolf fecal samples (n = 68) were collected from two regions in northern portugal. t ... | 2013 | 24533315 |
| transmission ecology of taeniid larval cestodes in rodents in sweden, a low endemic area for echinococcus multilocularis. | although local prevalence of echinococcus multilocularis may be high, this zoonotic parasite has an overall low prevalence in foxes and rodents in sweden. to better understand opportunities for e. multilocularis transmission in the swedish environment, the aim of this study was to investigate other taeniid cestodes and to relate observed patterns to e. multilocularis. cestode parasites were examined in fox feces and rodents caught in different habitats from four regions of sweden. arvicola amphi ... | 2017 | 28274289 |
| echinococcus multilocularis infections in dogs from urban and peri-urban areas in france. | echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis, a severe zoonotic disease. it is maintained through a sylvatic life cycle based on predator-prey interactions mainly between foxes and rodents. dogs are also good definitive hosts; and due to their close proximity to humans, they may represent a major risk factor for the occurrence of human cases. in two medium-sized cities of eastern france (annemasse and pontarlier), located in highly endemic areas, 817 dog feces sa ... | 2014 | 24687286 |
| morphological and molecular analyses of larval taeniid species in small mammals from contrasting habitats in denmark. | taeniid infections in intermediate hosts manifest themselves as extraintestinal larval stages which, in early development, lack species-specific characteristics. the inability to distinguish infections of zoonotic importance such as echinococcus multilocularis from other taeniid infections that have mainly veterinary significance stimulated the development of species-specific molecular diagnostics. in this study, the prevalence of taeniid infections in potential intermediate hosts was evaluated ... | 2015 | 24160635 |
| nutrias and muskrats as bioindicators for the presence of echinococcus multilocularis in new endemic areas. | nutrias (myocastor coypus) and muskrats (ondatra zibethicus) are large invasive semi-aquatic or aquatic rodents, naturalized throughout europe. they are regarded as pests, and can be infected with several pathogens and parasites transmissible to wildlife, livestock, pets and humans. as a rule, in europe the life cycle of the cestode echinococcus multilocularis involves red foxes (vulpes vulpes) as main definitive hosts and common voles as intermediate hosts. the suitability of nutrias and muskra ... | 2013 | 23725822 |
| utility of dna barcoding in distinguishing species of the family taeniidae. | the family taeniidae comprises many parasitic species, which cause serious zoonoses. however, effective identification of taeniidae species is a long-standing problem, especially in samples from wild hosts with mixed infections of different taeniidae species. dna barcoding analysis of small fragments of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi) gene has been confirmed as an effective and useful method for identifying taenia species. we therefore performed dna barcoding analysis using a 351-bp reg ... | 2014 | 24611571 |
