| the experimental infection of guinea pigs with the tissue worm of deer - elaphostrongylus cervi. | infection of six guinea pigs with up to 100 third-stage larvae of elaphostrongylus cervi produced clinical signs of severe weight loss and ataxia or death in five. these signs occurred approximately eighty days after the larvae had been given per os. single female e. cervi sub-adults were recovered from four affected animals and both a male and female e. cervi from one animal. individual worms were found at the base of the brain against the internal surface of the dura mater. histological and ha ... | 1985 | 16031168 |

| minimum sampling effort for reliable non-invasive estimations of excretion abundance of elaphostrongylus cervi l1 in red deer (cervus elaphus) populations. | faecal surveys are commonly used as non-invasive means to evaluate population abundance of animals as well as comparable indexes of prevalence and intensity of diseases between populations, especially macroparasites. while faecal surveys are among one of the simplest means to perform these evaluations, they are time consuming and labour intensive. the present study evaluated 80 red deer (cervus elaphus) faecal samples collected in two study sites for the presence and abundance of first-stage lar ... | 2008 | 18416882 |
| [investigations on the biology of nematodes elaphostrongylus cervi and epizootiology of elaphostrongylosis]. | elaphostrongylus cervi is a parasite of the family protostrongylidae, occurring in cervids in eurasia. this nematode has hitherto been recorded in some woodland areas in poland. the current distribution of e. cervi in poland was studied in the frames of the presently reported thesis. the above-mentioned nematode was found in deer in eight additional voivodeships, and in all thirteen forest management units examined. the prevalence values ranged from 66.7% to 100%. the above facts justify the sta ... | 2009 | 19579790 |
| [an attempt of experimental infection of fishes and chickens with invasive larvae of elaphostrongylus cervi (nematoda, protostrongylidae)]. | elaphostrongylus cervi is a parasite of skeletal muscles and central nervous system of wild and farm red deer in europe and asia. numerous species of terrestrial snails can be its intermediate hosts. considering the fact that invasive larvae of e. cervi are released by deer to the external environment in huge numbers, fishes and birds can be accidentally infect by them. in this study the development of larvae e. cervi in those nonspecific hosts was discussed. it was determined that invasive larv ... | 2009 | 19856837 |

| molecular phylogeny and diagnosis of species of the family protostrongylidae from caprine hosts in uzbekistan. | protostrongylids are important pulmonary parasites of ungulates, particularly caprines. their complex life cycles involve terrestrian gastropods as intermediate hosts. morphological discrimination of larvae in feces and snails is impossible to the species level, and molecular data are missing for many species. to improve diagnosis and epidemiology of protostrongylids, this study describes internal transcribed spacer 2 (its-2) sequences for five protostrongylid and one metastrongylid species from ... | 2015 | 25595657 |
| 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 |
| the importance of parasite life history and host density in predicting the impact of infections in red deer. | we studied a macroparasite (elaphostrongylus cervi, nematoda) and a microparasite infection (tuberculosis, tb) in red deer (cervus elaphus) across different populations where managers manipulated host condition, density and aggregation by providing supplemental food. we aimed to test whether and, if so, how persistence and transmission of both parasites differentially varied as host body condition and population density varied. we took account of sex, as red deer life history greatly concerns se ... | 2007 | 17401583 |
| sex, age, spleen size, and kidney fat of red deer relative to infection intensities of the lungworm elaphostrongylus cervi. | we analyzed the relationships among spleen size, body condition (measured as kidney fat), and larval counts of the nematode elaphostrongylus cervi in red deer (cervus elaphus). the aim was to investigate the interaction between host body condition and intensity of infection with parasites. as red deer are highly polygynous, we also tested whether these relationships varied with sex and age of the hosts. kidney fat and spleen size were positively correlated in subadults (2-3 years old) and adults ... | 2007 | 17340117 |
