| karyological and dental identification of microtus limnophilus in a large focus of alveolar echinococcosis (gansu, china). | a study of voles (arvicolidae, rodentia) from gansu (china) designed to identify a potential host of echinococcus multilocularis, responsible for human alveolar echinococcosis, leads to a general analysis of microtus limnophilus population karyotypes, m1 of m. oeconomus populations from all of eurasia and of m. limnophilus of mongolia. the microtus of gansu belonging to the nominal subspecies m. limnophilus limnophilus (2n = 38; nf = 58) differs markedly in size and shape of m1 from the m. limno ... | 1999 | 10457599 |
| an epidemiological and ecological study of human alveolar echinococcosis transmission in south gansu, china. | human alveolar echinococcosis (ae) is usually a rare, highly pathogenic zoonotic disease, transmitted across the northern hemisphere between fox and rodent hosts. in china the first cases were described in 1965; however very few epidemiological studies have been undertaken since. following identification in 1991 of a serious focus of human ae in south gansu province, detailed village-based community and ecological studies were carried out between 1994 and 1997. hepatic ultrasound mass screening ... | 2000 | 11080507 |
| echinococcus multilocularis and echinococcus shiquicus in a small mammal community on the eastern tibetan plateau: host species composition, molecular prevalence, and epidemiological implications. | the eastern part of the tibetan plateau is now recognized as an endemic region with the highest reported human infection rates in the world of human alveolar echinococcosis (ae) caused by echinococcus multilocularis. existing epidemiological studies on ae have mainly focused on the synanthropic environment, while basic parasitological and ecological aspects in wildlife host species remain largely unknown, especially for small mammal hosts. therefore, we examined small mammal host species composi ... | 2018 | 29769131 |
| description of a new species of heligmosomoides (nematoda: heligmosomidae) parasitic in microtus limnophius (rodentia: cricetidae) from rangtang, sichuan, china. | heligmosomoides craigi n. sp. (nematoda: heligmosomoidea) is described from microtus limnophilus büchner, 1889 (rodentia: cricetidae) from rangtang, sichuan, china. it is related to h. protobullosus asakawa, 1987 and h. longispiculum tokobaev & erkulov, 1966 both parasites of microtus spp. from japan and ussr, respectively by the following features: a ratio of spicule length/body length of more than 45% and rays 9 shorter than rays 10. the new species is differentiated by rays 8 being closed to ... | 2010 | 20387734 |
