| onchocerca suzukii n. sp. and o. skrjabini (= o. tarsicola) from a relict bovid, capricornis crispus, in japan. | the species from the tendons and sub-cutaneous tissue of the tarsal and carpal joints is identified as o. skrjabini rukhlyadev, 1964 (this taxon, which was poorly defined and badly restored, is used instead of o. tarsicola to avoid dispute). o. skrjabini belongs to on homogeneous group of four species parasitic in palearctic cervids, which seems to have evolved relatively recently. the morphological characteristics of the parasite of capricornis are not sufficient to warrant the creation of a ne ... | 1994 | 9140501 |
| black flies (diptera: simuliidae) attracted to humans and water buffalos and natural infections with filarial larvae, probably onchocerca sp., in northern thailand. | several simulium species were investigated as to their biting habits and natural infections with filarial larvae at ban pan fan, chiang mai province, in northern thailand. female adults flies landing on or flighting around a human and a water buffalo were collected during the daytime from 06.00 to 19.00 hours on 22 june 2001. as a result, 217 s. nodosum, 86 s. asakoae and two s. nigrogilvum were obtained from a human attractant, and 416 s. nodosum, 25 s. nakhonense, 16 s. asakoae, four s. fenest ... | 2003 | 12669343 |
| blackfly vectors of zoonotic onchocerciasis in japan. | studies of blackfly vectors of onchocerca dewittei japonica uni, bain & takaoka (spirurida: onchocercidae), a parasite of wild boar implicated in the aetiology of zoonotic onchocerciasis in japan, and six other zoonotic onchocerca species of this country are reviewed. molecular identification of infective larvae found in wild-caught female blackflies showed that simulium bidentatum (shiraki) (diptera: simuliidae) is a natural vector of o. dewittei japonica, and also onchocerca sp. sensu fukuda e ... | 2012 | 22827756 |
