| species of the genus elaphostrongylus parasite of swedish cervidae. a description of e. alces n. sp. | a description of elaphostrongylus alces n. sp., a parasite of moose (alces alces l.), is given. the main features differing e. alces n. sp. from the other two investigated species are the bottle shaped oesophagus and the oval bursa, which is about 150 microns x 200 microns. e. rangiferi mitskevith, 1960, a parasite of reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus l.) and e. cervi cameron, 1931, a parasite of red deer (cervus elaphus l.) have both a club shaped or cylindrical oesophagus and a circular bur ... | 1989 | 2735702 |
| differentiation of dorsal-spined elaphostrongyline larvae by polymerase chain reaction amplification of its-2 of rdna. | molecular genetics was used to devise the first reliable diagnostic tool for differentiating morphologically indistinguishable dorsal-spined, first-stage larvae (l1's) and other stages of the nematode protostrongylid subfamily elaphostrongylinae. a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay employing specifically designed primers was developed to selectively amplify dna of the its-2 region of the ribosomal gene. amplification of the entire its-2 region differentiated between larvae of the genera elap ... | 2000 | 11085433 |
| the first record of elaphostrongylus alces larvae in moose in poland and their development to the invasive stage. | this is the first record of the first stage larvae of elaphostrongylus alces in moose in poland. | 2007 | 18441880 |
| aspects of the life cycle and pathogenesis of elaphostrongylus alces in moose (alces alces). | aspects of the migratory life cycle and pathogenesis of elaphostrongylus alces were studied in 7 randomly selected moose calves and 7 yearlings killed during august to november. one calf and 1 yearling were uninfected. the 6 infected calves had recent infections, whereas the 6 yearlings showed older infections from the summer of the previous year. the 2 calves killed in september had a total of 26 adult e. alces in the epidural space of the caudal vertebral canal and none in the skeletal muscles ... | 2001 | 11695364 |
| experimental elaphostrongylus alces infection in goats. | five goats aged 4 months were each inoculated with approximately 300 third-stage larvae of elaphostrongylus alces, and killed for post-mortem examination after 14-150 days. no clinical signs of disease were observed during the experiment. pathological examination revealed that the larvae penetrated the walls of the abomasum and small intestine and migrated towards the caudal vertebral canal. however, the great majority of larvae were apparently destroyed along the migratory route, and developmen ... | 2001 | 11437519 |
| cross-infection of moose (alces alces) and reindeer (rangifer tarandus) with elaphostrongylus alces and elaphostrongylus rangiferi (nematoda, protostrongylidae): effects on parasite morphology and prepatent period. | moose (alces alces) and reindeer (rangifer tarandus) were experimentally cross-infected with elaphostrongylus rangiferi and elaphostrongylus alces, respectively. both elaphostrongylus species completed their development in the alternate hosts but produced fewer larvae than in their usual host species. reindeer infected with elaphostrongylus alces developed patent infections after 39-130 days. in moose, the prepatent period of this parasite was 39-73 days. elaphostrongylus rangiferi infections we ... | 1997 | 9231986 |
| attempts to transfer elaphostrongylus alces from moose (alces alces) to sheep and goats. | six 1 year old female and 6 four months old male goats were inoculated different numbers of e. alces third-stage larvae. protostrongylid larvae were not detected in the faeces of these animals during the experiment. at the end of the experimental period the animals were euthanized and autopsied. neither parasites nor pathological lesions related to larval or adult stages of e. alces could be demonstrated. | 1990 | 2099618 |
| lungworm (nematoda: protostrongylidae) infection in wild and domestic ruminants from małopolska region of poland. | the conducted study has focused on domestic, as well as wild ruminant species. the post mortem examination was carried out on 68 animals, including three wild species: roe deer (capreolus capreolus) (25 indyviduals), red deer (cervus elaphus) (6), fallow deer (dama dama) (5) and two domestic: sheep (ovis aries) (14) and cattle (bos taurus) (18). some of the species have also been investigated in the field by the coproscopical analyses. the faecal samples from roe deer (27), fallow deer (20), red ... | 2016 | 27262959 |
