| filaria martis gmelin 1790 (spirurida, filariidae) affecting beech marten (martes foina): morphological description and molecular characterisation of the cytochrome oxidase c subunit i. | filaria martis causes a poorly known subcutaneous filariosis in mustelids. few information is available about lesions that f. martis causes in beech martens, on its morphology, biology and the occurrence of the infection. from 1997 to 2006, 29 beech martens from two sites of southern italy (sites a and b) have been necropsied. ectoparasites and nematodes were collected and morphologically identified. a variable region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) of f. martis has been characteris ... | 2007 | 17484072 |
| first report of filaria martis gmelin, 1790 in the european mink, mustela lutreola (linnaeus, 1761). | the riparian european mink (mustela lutreola), currently surviving in only three unconnected sites in europe, is now listed as a critically endangered species according to the iucn. habitat loss and degradation, anthropic mortality, interaction with the feral american mink (neovison vison), and infectious diseases are among the principal causes of its decline. surveys of helminth parasites of this host that also include focus on subcutaneous potentially pathogenic helminths such as those belongi ... | 2016 | 27008189 |
