| [occurrence of tissue filarioidea in ruminants in poland]. | in the years 1985-1988 in the białowieza forest and in the woods in the vicinity of olsztyn, 130 deer, 136 roe-deer, 52 bisons and 40 cattle were subject to parasitological section. seven species of tissue nematoda of the superfamily filarioidea were detected. onchocerca jakutensis, o. garmsi and cutifilaria wenki in deer, dipetalonema rugosicauda in roe-deer, and onchocerca lienalis and o. gutturosa in bison and cattle are first records of these species in poland. the bison is a new host for o. ... | 1989 | 2815759 |
| light and electron microscopy studies on onchocerca jakutensis and o. flexuosa of red deer show different host-parasite interactions. | adult filariae of two intranodular onchocerca species of red deer (cervus elaphus) were examined at the ultrastructural level. in all, 90 nodules of o. flexuosa and 20 nodules of o. jakutensis were studied by histology. o. jakutensis caused cystic and pus-filled nodules in which the female and male worms were motile. female worms possessed a thick cuticle and a well-developed somatic musculature. the basal lamina of the muscular syncytia was connected with the transhypodermal fibers through long ... | 1995 | 7724516 |
| onchocerca jakutensis filariasis in humans. | we identified onchocerca jakutensis as the causative agent of an unusual human filariasis in a patient with lupus erythematosus. to our knowledge, this is the first case of human infection with o. jakutensis and the first human case of zoonotic onchocercosis involving >1 worm. | 2007 | 18217562 |
| first description of nodular onchocercosis (onchocerca jakutensis) in free-ranging italian red deer (cervus elaphus). | onchocercosis is a vector-transmitted parasitic disease involving wild and domestic ungulates, humans, and dogs. red deer (cervus elaphus) host numerous onchocerca spp. which have precise anatomic sites in the host and two species, onchocerca flexuosa wedl, 1856 and onchocerca jakutensis guba-now, 1964, are found inside subcutaneous nodules. between september and november 2007, subcutaneous nodules were observed on both thighs in shot red deer of a tuscany population. we observed cystic structur ... | 2011 | 22102667 |
| wildlife reservoirs for vector-borne canine, feline and zoonotic infections in austria. | austria's mammalian wildlife comprises a large variety of species, acting and interacting in different ways as reservoir and intermediate and definitive hosts for different pathogens that can be transmitted to pets and/or humans. foxes and other wild canids are responsible for maintaining zoonotic agents, e.g. echinococcus multilocularis, as well as pet-relevant pathogens, e.g. hepatozoon canis. together with the canids, and less commonly felids, rodents play a major role as intermediate and par ... | 2014 | 25830102 |
| first description of onchocerca jakutensis (nematoda: filarioidea) in red deer (cervus elaphus) in switzerland. | twenty-seven species of the genus onchocerca (nematoda; filarioidea) can cause a vector-borne parasitic disease called onchocercosis. most onchocerca species infect wild and domestic ungulates or the dog, and one species causes river blindness in humans mainly in tropical africa. the european red deer (cervus e. elaphus) is host to four species, which are transmitted by blackflies (simuliids) or biting midges (ceratopogonids). two species, onchocerca flexuosa and onchocerca jakutensis, produce s ... | 2016 | 27617204 |
