| genetic diversity and population genetics of large lungworms (dictyocaulus, nematoda) in wild deer in hungary. | dictyocaulus nematode worms live as parasites in the lower airways of ungulates and can cause significant disease in both wild and farmed hosts. this study represents the first population genetic analysis of large lungworms in wildlife. specifically, we quantify genetic variation in dictyocaulus lungworms from wild deer (red deer, fallow deer and roe deer) in hungary, based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) sequence data, using population genetic and phylogenetic analyses. t ... | 2016 | 27150969 |
| helminths of roe deer (capreolus capreolus) in the middle black sea region of turkey. | fifteen roe deer were examined at necropsy from northern turkey in the period 2006-2010 for the helminth infections. totally 6470 helminth specimens were collected and identified by morphological criteria. twenty-five helminth species were identified (1 of the class trematoda, 1 of cestoda and 23 of nematoda). dicrocoelium dendriticum (prevalence 20%) was found in liver. cysticercus tenuicollis (6.6%) was found in mesentery. haemonchus contortus (53.3%), ostertagia leptospicularis (73.3%), o. le ... | 2012 | 22766455 |
| limited sequence variation in the major sperm protein 1 (msp) gene within populations and species of the genus dictyocaulus (nematoda). | populations of the bovine lungworm, dictyocaulus viviparus, are genetically structured based on variation in mtdna and aflp data. our aim was to investigate if this genetic variability also is reflected in a protein recognized by the host immune system. we focused on the major sperm protein (msp), a small and abundant protein used in diagnostic immunoassays, which has been shown to be variable in some nematodes but not others. msp was sequenced using worm dna from eight adult worms from each of ... | 2008 | 18392853 |
| heterologous transmission with dictyocaulus capreolus from roe deer (capreolus capreolus) to cattle (bos taurus). | eight swedish red breed cattle, about 2 months old, were experimentally infected with a swedish isolate of dictyocaulus viviparus (dviv-se) from cattle and d. capreolus from roe deer. the aims were to determine whether the roe deer lungworm is infective to cattle or if it can induce seroconversion in cattle against d. viviparus as measured with an elisa. four calves which were given 500 dviv-se infective larvae (l3) each by larval dosing for two successive days developed patent infection between ... | 2002 | 12015824 |
| dictyocaulus capreolus n. sp. (nematoda: trichostrongyloidea) from roe deer, capreolus capreolus and moose, alces alces in sweden. | dictyocaulus capreolus n. sp. recovered from roe deer, capreolus capreolus and moose, alces alces in sweden is described and figured. morphological studies revealed the new species to be closest to d. eckerti and d. africanus on the basis of mouth shape, all three species having an elongate mouth opening. the other species of the genus, including d. viviparus, all have a circular to oval mouth opening. dictyocaulus capreolus n. sp. can be distinguished from d. eckerti and d. africanus on the bas ... | 2002 | 12015823 |
| molecular identification and prevalence of dictyocaulus spp. (trichostrongyloidea: dictyocaulidae) in swedish semi-domestic and free-living cervids. | lungs of 102 roe deer (capreolus capreolus), 136 moose (alces alces), 68 fallow deer (dama dama), and six red deer (cervus elaphus) were examined during hunting seasons from 16 september 1997 to 1 march 2000. the aim was to determine the species composition and prevalence of dictyocaulus lungworms in these hosts in sweden. worms were identified following polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplification of the internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal dna (its2), followed by hybridization with four s ... | 2002 | 12528445 |
