| the anoplocephalid cestode parasites of the spectacled hare-wallaby lagorchestes conspicillatus gould, 1842 (marsupialia: macropodidae). | progamotaenia gynandrolinearis sp. nov. is described from the small intestine of lagorchestes conspicillatus gould, 1842 from barrow i., western australia. it is distinguished from other species by the small number of testes arranged in a single transverse row. progamotaenia lagorchestis (lewis, 1914) is redescribed. the name progamotaenia thylogale sp. nov. is proposed for a second species described previously under the name p. lagorchestis. progamotaenia zschokkei (janicki, 1905), progamotaeni ... | 1979 | 489942 |
| progamotaenia ruficola sp. n. (cestoda: anoplocephalidae) from the red kangaroo, macropus rufus (marsupialia). | progamotaenia ruficola sp. n. is described from the red kangaroo (macropus rufus) from new south wales, australia. it is distinguished from other similar species having paired, nondiverticulate uteri in each prolottis: progamotaenia festiva (rudolphi 1819), p. diaphana (zschokke 1907), and p. macropodis beveridge 1976, by the extremely broad, straight-edged velum, the lack of an external seminal vesicle, the cirrus armature, the number of testes, the lack of vaginal atrophy following inseminatio ... | 1978 | 641671 |
| cholangitis associated with species of progamotaenia (cestoda: anoplocephalidae) in the bile ducts of marsupials. | gross and histopathologic changes due to infection with progamotaenia festiva and p. effigia in the bile ducts of the marsupials, macropus rufus, m. giganteus, m. fuliginosus, lagorchestes conspicillatus, vombatus ursinus and lasiorhinus latifrons are described. the integrity of the bile duct mucosa was not impaired but varying degrees of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mucosa and mucosal glands, inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis were found. portal fibrosis was the prominent reaction in lasi ... | 1978 | 691133 |
| parasites and associated pathology of the swamp wallaby, wallabia bicolor (marsupialia). | thirty-five swamp wallabies from victoria, new south wales and queensland, australia were examined for parasites. thirty-nine species of nematodes, five species of cestodes and eight species of arthropods were found. wallabies from queensland and northern new south wales had a less diverse helminth fauna (23 species) than did wallabies from southern new south wales and victoria (32 species). rugopharynx spp. and cloacina spp. occurred in large numbers in the stomach but provoked no pathological ... | 1985 | 4078972 |
| genetic variation in the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 within progamotaenia festiva (cestoda: anoplocephalidae) from macropodid marsupials. | genetic variation was examined in the anoplocephalid cestode progamotaenia festiva, from australian marsupials, in order to test the hypothesis that p. festiva, is a complex of sibling species and to assess the extent of host switching reported previously based on multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (mee). polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based single-strand conformational polymorphism (sscp) was used for the analysis of sequence variation in the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene among 179 ... | 2007 | 17462123 |
| biochemical differentiation in bile duct cestodes and their marsupial hosts. | isozyme electrophoresis was used to assess possible cospeciation of parasites (cestodes of the progamotaenia festiva complex) and their hosts (australian diprotodont marsupials) and to compare the extent of interspecific genetic diversity of the parasites and their hosts. on the basis of morphology, there are three species in the complex, although electrophoresis revealed 14 distinct genetic types, most of which were host specific, although there were three cases of apparent host switching. the ... | 1985 | 3870865 |
