| the complete mitochondrial genomes for three toxocara species of human and animal health significance. | studying mitochondrial (mt) genomics has important implications for various fundamental areas, including mt biochemistry, physiology and molecular biology. in addition, mt genome sequences have provided useful markers for investigating population genetic structures, systematics and phylogenetics of organisms. toxocara canis, toxocara cati and toxocara malaysiensis cause significant health problems in animals and humans. although they are of importance in human and animal health, no information o ... | 2008 | 18482460 |
| macroparasite communities in stray cat populations from urban cities in peninsular malaysia. | the occurrence of macroparasites was studied from 543 stray cats in four urban cities from the west (kuala lumpur), east (kuantan), north (georgetown) and south (malacca) of peninsular malaysia from may 2007 to august 2010. five ectoparasites species were recovered namely, ctenocephalides felis, felicola subrostratus, haemaphysalis bispinosa, heterodoxus spiniger and lynxacarus radovskyi. two cats from georgetown were infested with the dog louse, h. spiniger and this represented the first host r ... | 2013 | 23664711 |
| complete mitochondrial genomes of baylisascaris schroederi, baylisascaris ailuri and baylisascaris transfuga from giant panda, red panda and polar bear. | roundworms of the genus baylisascaris are the most common parasitic nematodes of the intestinal tracts of wild mammals, and most of them have significant impacts in veterinary and public health. mitochondrial (mt) genomes provide a foundation for studying epidemiology and ecology of these parasites and therefore may be used to assist in the control of baylisascariasis. here, we determined the complete sequences of mtdnas for baylisascaris schroederi, baylisascaris ailuri and baylisascaris transf ... | 2011 | 21621593 |
| toxocara canis and toxocara vitulorum: molecular characterization, discrimination, and phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial (atp synthase subunit 6 and 12s) and nuclear ribosomal (its-2 and 28s) genes. | toxocara canis and toxocara vitulorum are two important parasites of dogs and buffaloes with public health concern. the objectives of the present study are to identify molecular markers to discriminate these closely related parasites and to determine their phylogenetic position and genetic diversity within the genus toxocara. thus, two mitochondrial genes (complete atpase 6 and partial small subunit ribosomal rna (12s rdna)), two nuclear ribosomal genes (second internal transcribed spacer region ... | 2009 | 19221796 |
| pcr tools for the verification of the specific identity of ascaridoid nematodes from dogs and cats. | based on the sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (its-1 and its-2) of nuclear ribosomal dna (rdna) of toxocara canis, toxocara cati, toxocara malaysiensis and toxascaris leonina, specific forward primers were designed in the its-1 or its-2 for each of the four ascaridoid species of dogs and cats. these primers were used individually together with a conserved primer in the large subunit of rdna to amplify partial its-1 and/or its-2 of rdna from 107 dna samples from ascaridoids from dogs ... | 2007 | 17532185 |
| the occurrence of toxocara malaysiensis in cats in china, confirmed by sequence-based analyses of ribosomal dna. | non-isotopic polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based single-strand conformation polymorphism and sequence analyses of the second internal transcribed spacer (its-2) of nuclear ribosomal dna (rdna) were utilized to genetically characterise ascaridoids from dogs and cats from china by comparison with those from other countries. the study showed that toxocara canis, toxocara cati, and toxascaris leonina from china were genetically the same as those from other geographical origins. specimens from cats ... | 2006 | 16636846 |
| toxocara malaysiensis n. sp. (nematoda: ascaridoidea) from the domestic cat (felis catus linnaeus, 1758). | toxocara malaysiensis n. sp. from the small intestine of the domestic cat (felis catus l.) in malaysia is described and illustrated. this ascaridoid nematode was previously assumed to be toxocara canis, which it superficially resembles, or designated toxocara sp. cf. canis. the new species differs from t. canis in the shape of the cervical alae in cross section, spicule length, and the lip structure. it is also distinct from other species assigned to toxocara. | 2001 | 11426732 |
| toxocara malaysiensis infection in domestic cats in vietnam--an emerging zoonotic issue? | toxocara canis of canids is a parasitic nematode (ascaridoid) that infects humans and other hosts, causing different forms of toxocariasis. this species of toxocara appears to be the most important cause of human disease, likely followed by toxocara cati from felids. although some studies from malaysia and china have shown that cats can harbor another congener, t. malaysiensis, no information is available about this parasite for other countries. moreover, the zoonotic potential of this parasite ... | 2016 | 26584512 |
