| helminth parasitism in martens (martes americana) and ermines (mustela erminea) from washington, with comments on the distribution of trichinella spiralis. | helminths are reported for the first time from ermines (mustela erminea) and martens (martes americana) in washington (usa). among 22 adult ermines, 41% were infected by one or more of five species (taenia mustelae, alaria mustelae, molineus patens, m. mustelae and trichinella spiralis). among 78 adult martens from three geographic localities, the prevalence was 83%. nine species were identified (mesocestoides sp., t. mustelae and t. martis americana, euryhelmis squamula, m. patens, baylisascari ... | 1990 | 2250320 |

| prevalence of soboliphyme baturini in marten (martes americana) populations from three regions of alaska, 1990-1998. | marten (martes americana) carcasses were collected from trappers in three regions of alaska. stomachs were examined for the nematode parasite soboliphyme baturini. both prevalence and intensity of infection exhibited an increase from north to south. prevalence was higher in adults (compared with juveniles) from the two mainland study areas. prevalences in these two age classes were similar for the southeastern region. there were no sex-specific differences in prevalence. no pathologic changes we ... | 2004 | 15465712 |
| geographic and host range of the nematode soboliphyme baturini across beringia. | the nematode soboliphyme baturini petrov, 1930, was found to represent a single species with a relatively broad geographic range across beringia and northwestern north america on the basis of the assessment of molecular sequence data for adult and juvenile parasites. refuted are hypotheses suggesting that several cryptic species could be partitioned either among an array of mustelid definitive hosts or across the vast region that links north america and eurasia. host specificity for this species ... | 2007 | 18163341 |
| soboliphyme baturini infection does not affect the nutritional condition of american marten (martes americana) in alaska. | soboliphyme baturini, a stomach-dwelling nematode of american martens (martes americana), reaches high levels of infection; however, its effects on the nutritional condition of the host are unknown. to understand the effects of this parasite on american martens, we collected s. baturini and measured abdominal fat deposits from 155 marten carcasses on prince of wales island, southeastern alaska, in the winter 2006-2007. we analyzed how the dried mass of abdominal fat varied as a function of s. ba ... | 2008 | 18576861 |
