| gastrointestinal parasites of cats in denmark assessed by necropsy and concentration mcmaster technique. | the large population of feral cats in denmark may potentially transmit pathogens to household cats and zoonotic parasites to humans. a total of 99 euthanized cats; feral cats (n=92) and household cats with outdoor access (n=7), were collected from march to may 2014 from the zealand region, denmark. the sedimentation and counting technique (sct) was used to isolate helminths and coproscopy was done by concentration mcmaster technique (c-mcmaster). overall, 90.1% of the cats were infected and a to ... | 2015 | 26169220 |
| distribution and molecular phylogeny of biliary trematodes (opisthorchiidae) infecting native lutra lutra and alien neovison vison across europe. | the recent identification of pseudamphistomum truncatum, (rudolphi, 1819) (trematoda: opisthorchiidae) and metorchis bilis (braun, 1790) odening, 1962 (synonymous with metorchis albidus (braun, 1893) loos, 1899 and metorchis crassiusculus (rudolphi, 1809) looss, 1899 (trematoda: opisthorchiidae)) in otters from britain caused concern because of associated biliary damage, coupled with speculation over their alien status. here, we investigate the presence, intensity and phylogeny of these trematod ... | 2016 | 26620805 |
| emergence of the zoonotic biliary trematode pseudamphistomum truncatum in grey seals (halichoerus grypus) in the baltic sea. | the biliary trematode pseudamphistomum truncatum parasitizes a wide range of fish-eating mammals, including humans. here we report the emergence of this parasite in grey seals (halichoerus grypus) in the baltic sea. one hundred eighty-three of 1 554 grey seals (11.9%) examined from 2002-2013 had detectable hepatobiliary trematode infection. parasite identification was confirmed as p. truncatum by sequencing the its2 region of a pool of five to 10 trematodes from each of ten seals collected off t ... | 2016 | 27755567 |
| spatial and seasonal factors are key determinants in the aggregation of helminths in their definitive hosts: pseudamphistomum truncatum in otters (lutra lutra). | parasites are typically aggregated within their host populations. the most heavily infected hosts are frequently cited as targets for optimal disease control. yet a heavily infected individual is not necessarily highly infective and does not automatically contribute a higher proportion of infective parasitic stages than a host with fewer parasites. here, pseudamphistomum truncatum (opisthorchiida) parasitic infection within the definitive otter host (lutra lutra) is used as a model system. the h ... | 2015 | 25444862 |
| characterisation of ecto- and endoparasites in domestic cats from tirana, albania. | during 2008 to 2011, faecal samples, ear swabs, and ectoparasites obtained by full body search and total body comb were collected from 252 cats originating from the greater tirana area. faecal samples were examined using the mcmaster and baermann techniques, and a subset of 58 samples was tested for giardia-specific antigen using a coproantigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the ear swabs were examined for the presence of parasitic mites. overall, almost 93% of the cats were identifi ... | 2014 | 24994454 |
| climatic variables are associated with the prevalence of biliary trematodes in otters. | parasites with complex life cycles are expected to be disproportionately affected by climate change. knowledge of current associations with weather and host-parasite interactions is therefore essential for the inference of future distributions. the eurasian otter, lutra lutra, is exposed to a range of parasites due to its large home range and use of terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats. as such, it can act as a sentinel species for generalist parasites. here we consider two biliary parasi ... | 2013 | 23751866 |
| isolation of brucella pinnipedialis from grey seals (halichoerus grypus) in the baltic sea. | brucella infection in seals was reported for the first time in 1994 around the coast of scotland. since then, marine mammal brucella infections were found to be widely distributed in the northern hemisphere. two brucella species affect marine mammals: brucella pinnipedialis in pinnipeds and brucella ceti in cetaceans. we examined the livers of baltic grey seals (halichoerus grypus) from the finnish coast (n=122) hunted, found dead, or killed as by-catch in fishing gear in 2013-15 as part of popu ... | 2017 | 28715291 |
