| shedding of gravid proglottids and destrobilation in experimental infections of foxes with mesocestoides leptothylacus loos-frank, 1980 (cestoda). | the implications of the confused taxonomy of the genus mesocestoides and the misuse of the name m. lineatus are described. in southwest germany rodents are intermediate hosts and red foxes are definitive hosts of m. leptothylacus. the shedding patterns of experimentally infected foxes showed that destrobilation occurs frequently and that there are long periods during which no gravid proglottids are shed at all. lengths of worms can be taken as a measure of a possible crowding effect only when wo ... | 1987 | 3668210 |
| the common vole, microtus arvalis pall. as intermediate host of mesocestoides (cestoda) in germany. | tetrathyridia of mesocestoides leptothylacus loos-frank, 1980 were found in 1.4% of 513 common voles (microtus arvalis) in a district of southwest germany where foxes (vulpes vulpes) are frequently infected with this tapeworm. the tetrathyridia measured 1 to 1.5 mm in length and 0.5 to 1 mm in width. when injected intraperitoneally into white mice, jirds, or common voles, the tetrathyridia did not multiply. cats fed with the larvae shed proglottids from the 21st day onwards. in one experimentall ... | 1980 | 7006239 |
| the intestinal helminths of the red fox and some other carnivores in southwest germany. | in south-west germany between 1975 and 1980, 3,573 red foxes (vulpes vulpes), 84 badgers (meles meles), 47 stone martens (martes foina), and 387 cats (felis catus) were examined for intestinal helminths. in foxes the extent of infections was: taenia crassiceps 24%, t. polyacantha 8%, t. taeniaeformis 0.6%, t. serialis 0.5%, mesocestoides leptothylacus 20%, mesocestoides sp. 0.2%, toxocara canis 32%, toxascaris leonina 3%, uncinaria stenocephala 26%. one to three foxes harboured t. hydatigena, t. ... | 1982 | 7072323 |
| [mesocestoides leptothylacus n. sp. and the problem of nomenclature in the genus mesocestoides vaillant, 1863 (cestoda, mesocestoididae) (author's transl)]. | m. leptothylacus n. sp., a common parasite of the red fox (vulpes vulpes) in southwest germany, is characterized by a slender elongated cirrus pouch containing a cirrus with only one loose convolution and by approximately 90 testes surrounding the other genital organs completely, quite a number of them lying outside the lateral excretory canals.--the decision for a new name arised from the following considerations: 1. goeze (1782) described taenia lineata with characteristics of the genus only. ... | 1980 | 7189612 |
| a real-time multiplex-nested pcr system for coprological diagnosis of echinococcus multilocularis and host species. | a hybridization probe-based real-time multiplex-nested pcr system was developed for the simultaneous detection of echinococcus multilocularis and host species directly from faecal samples. species identification was determined by melting curve analysis. specificity was assessed by using dna extracted from various cestodes (e. multilocularis, echinococcus granulosus (g1), echinococcus ortleppi, echinococcus canadensis (g6, g7), taenia crassiceps, taenia hydatigena, taenia mustelae, taenia pisifor ... | 2011 | 21327991 |
