relationship between the excretion of protostrongylid larvae in sheep in north-west spain and climatic conditions.the relationship between different climatic factors (temperature, relative humidity and rainfall) and the pattern of lungworm larval excretion was studied in sheep under a continuous grazing pattern in north-west spain, where the climate is intermediate between sub-humid mediterranean with an atlantic tendency and european atlantic. over a period of one year, 44 animals were sampled once a month at random from a flock of 80 galician breed sheep, all over 4 years old. faeces were taken directly f ...19947829839
ecological relations among first-stage larvae of four species of protostrongylidae (nematoda) within their ovine host.competitive relations between protostrongylid nematodes parasitic in the ovine lung, using competition coefficients and asymptotic densities showed that two relatively scarce species (neostrongylus linearis and protostrongylus rufescens) exert strong competitive actions on the two most abundant species (cystocaulus ocreatus and muellerius capillaris). p. rufescens could lead to the disappearance of the more abundant species, if other compensatory factors did not exist in their life cycle.19968574249
natural infection by gastrointestinal and bronchopulmonary nematodes in mouflons (ovis musimon) and their response to netobimin treatment.gastrointestinal and bronchopulmonary nematode infections and the efficacy of netobimin (hapasil) were analyzed by way of fecal examination in 10 female mouflons (ovis musimon), in central spain, february 1993. before treatment all 10 mouflons had trichostrongylus axei, teladorsagia circumcincta and marshallagia spp.; sic had nematodirus spp., two had trichuris sp., one had capillaria sp., seven had bronchopulmonary dictyocaulus filaria and 10 mouflons had protostrongylid lungworms (muellerius c ...19968627934
epidemiological aspects of lungworm infections of goats in morocco.the results of a survey of lungworm infections in goats in the middle atlas and rabat areas in morocco during 1990-1992 are reported. five species were recorded: dictyocaulus filaria, protostrongylus rufescens, cystocaulus ocreatus, muellerius capillaris and neostrongylus linearis. the parasitological profile of protostrongylid species was represented by muellerius (69-78%), protostrongylus (16-25%) and cystocaulus (5-6%) in the rabat and middle atlas areas. neostrongylus was virtually non-exist ...19968750686
a quantitative approach to nematode lungworm burdens in goats.nematode lungworm burdens are difficult to evaluate of necropsy. the recovery of protostrongylid worms was achieved by three different post-mortem quantification techniques. perfusion of the lungs under watertap pressure was successful in washing out protostrongylus rufescens and cystocaulus ocreatus but not muellerius capillaris and neostrongylus. incubation of the lungs by pepsin and hydrochloric acid solution prior to perfusion helped to recover trapped muellerius and neostrongylus. worm nodu ...19969008739
assessment of the severity of natural infections of kids and adult goats by small lungworms (protostrongylidae, nematoda) using macroscopic lesion scores.assessment of the severity of natural infections of kids and adult goats by small lungworms using macroscopic lesion scores was carried out on 476 lungs originating from the rabat area of morocco. the prevalence of infection was 98% in kids and 100% in adult goats. the diaphragmatic lobes were the preferential site for protostrongylids. the average number of nodules (mostly muellerius capillaris) and lobular lesions (mostly protostrongylus rufescens and cystocaulus ocreatus) was 174 and 9 per pa ...19979112736
limited role of lagomorphs (oryctolagus cuniculus and lepus capensis) in the dispersion of parasite nematodes of ruminants.rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) and hares (lepus capensis) were investigated under natural conditions for infection with ruminant nematodes, either in the condition of close contact with sheep (south-east of france) or unknown contact with ruminants (central region and french champaign). rabbits and hares were poorly infected with sheep digestive tract nematodes: trichostrongylus colubriformis (second record) was encountered in one site and trichostrongylus capricola (a first record) in another ...19989763321
