| cryptosporidium spp. in pet birds: genetic diversity and potential public health significance. | to characterize the prevalence and assess the zoonotic transmission burden of cryptosporidium species/genotypes in pet birds in henan, china, 434 fecal samples were acquired from 14 families of birds in pet shops. the overall prevalence of cryptopsoridium was 8.1% (35/434) by the sheather's sugar flotation technique. the cryptosporidium-positive samples were analyzed by dna sequence analysis of the small subunit (ssu) rrna gene. three cryptosporidium species and two genotypes were identified, in ... | 2011 | 21557938 |
| twelve new species of guimaraesiella (phthiraptera: ischnocera: philopteridae) from "babblers" (passeriformes: leiothrichidae, pellorneidae, timaliidae) with a description of a new subgenus and a key to its species. | the chewing louse subgenus cicchinella new subgenus is erected and described for species of guimaraesiella eichler, 1949, parasitizing old world babblers (leiothrichidae, pellorneidae, timaliidae). the subgenus is divided into three species groups based on chaetotaxy, head and genitalia of both sexes. two species are redescribed: guimaraesiella (cicchinella) sehri (ansari, 1955) from trochalopteron lineatum lineatum (vigors, 1831) and t. lineatum setafer (hodgson, 1836), and guimaraesiella (cicc ... | 2019 | 30647282 |
