contribution to the knowledge of helminthofauna of wild mammals of somalia. | within a survey of parasitic infections in wild mammals of somalia, during the first semester of 1983 and the second of 1984, endoparasites were collected from 11 host species: gazella soemmeringi, gazella spekei, madoqua saltiana, phacochoerus aethiopicus, xerus rutilus, lepus sp., genetta genetta, herpestes (galerella) sanguineus, felis sylvestris libyca, felis caracal, canis mesomelas. a total of 22 species of helminths (20 nematode and 2 metacestode species) were identified. lepus sp. is a n ... | 1996 | 9257339 |
characterization of taenia madoquae and taenia regis from carnivores in kenya using genetic markers in nuclear and mitochondrial dna, and their relationships with other selected taeniids. | in the present study, we have extended earlier taxonomic, biochemical and experimental investigations to characterize two species of taenia from carnivores in kenya by use of the sequences of a variable domain (d1) of nuclear ribosomal dna and the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and nadh dehydrogenase 1 genes of mitochondrial dna. emphasis was placed on the characterization of taenia madoquae from the silver-backed jackal (canis mesomelas) and taenia regis from the lion (panthera leo), given the ... | 2007 | 17600673 |
a survey of echinococcus species in wild carnivores and livestock in east africa. | we examined 71 faecal samples of carnivores from queen elizabeth national park (qenp), uganda, for eggs of echinococcus species. thirty-nine faecal samples contained taeniid eggs. for species diagnosis, dna was isolated from a total of 1984 individual taeniid eggs. to differentiate eggs of echinococcus felidis from other taeniid taxa (including the closely related echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto), a restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp)-pcr of the mitochondrial nad1 gene was deve ... | 2009 | 19275902 |
a sylvatic lifecycle of echinococcus equinus in the etosha national park, namibia. | various species of echinococcus have been described in the past from wild mammals of sub-saharan africa. however, it is only recently, that a few isolates have become available for molecular identification; therefore, the involvement of wildlife in the lifecycles of the various cryptic species within echinococcus granulosus sensu lato is still only partially known. a preliminary survey was undertaken in etosha national park, namibia, from august to october 2012. faecal samples were obtained from ... | 2015 | 25830103 |
