| echinococcus shiquicus n. sp., a taeniid cestode from tibetan fox and plateau pika in china. | the taeniid cestode echinococcus shiquicus n. sp. was found from the tibetan fox vulpes ferrilata and the plateau pika ochotona curzoniae in the qinghai-tibet plateau region of china. in the adult stage, e. shiquicus from the foxes is morphologically similar to echinococcus multilocularis. however, the new species is differentiated by its smaller rostellar hooks, fewer segments, distinct position of genital pore in the mature segment and fewer eggs in the gravid segment. hydatid cysts of e. shiq ... | 2005 | 15862582 |
| echinococcus shiquicus, a new species from the qinghai-tibet plateau region of china: discovery and epidemiological implications. | in shiqu county of the qinghai-tibet plateau, many wild and domestic mammals are involved in the transmission cycles of echinococcus spp. echinococcus multilocularis and echinococcus granulosus genotype g1 (sheep strain) are sympatrically distributed in the plateau. in 1995, we identified a unique strobilate stage of echinococcus from the tibetan fox, vulpes ferrilata, but considered it to be a variant of e. multilocularis. subsequent molecular genetic studies revealed that a hydatid cyst from t ... | 2006 | 16337180 |
| a real-time multiplex-nested pcr system for coprological diagnosis of echinococcus multilocularis and host species. | a hybridization probe-based real-time multiplex-nested pcr system was developed for the simultaneous detection of echinococcus multilocularis and host species directly from faecal samples. species identification was determined by melting curve analysis. specificity was assessed by using dna extracted from various cestodes (e. multilocularis, echinococcus granulosus (g1), echinococcus ortleppi, echinococcus canadensis (g6, g7), taenia crassiceps, taenia hydatigena, taenia mustelae, taenia pisifor ... | 2011 | 21327991 |
| identification of the tibetan fox (vulpes ferrilata) and the red fox (vulpes vulpes) by copro-dna diagnosis. | studies on feeding habits based on faeces dissecting are imperative to understand the natural history of tibetan foxes and their functions in the transmission of a lethal zoonotic parasite, echinococcus multilocularis. however, tibetan foxes and red foxes live sympatrically on the tibetan plateau, china. therefore, the faeces of tibetan foxes must be distinguished from those of red foxes. we established a diagnostic method to distinguish the faeces of the two species by amplifying a portion of t ... | 2011 | 21429124 |
| survey on helminths in the small intestine of wild foxes in qinghai, china. | the intestinal helminth fauna of tibetan sand foxes (vulpes ferrilata) and red foxes (vulpes vulpes) inhabiting in qinghai, china, was evaluated by conducting necropsy of hunted foxes and fecal egg examination of field-collected feces. in northeast and south qinghai, 36 foxes were necropsied, and the species of foxes and the parasites detected were identified by the dna barcoding. in 27 red foxes and 9 tibetan sand foxes examined, mesocestoides litteratus (total prevalence: 64%), toxascaris leon ... | 2013 | 23749034 |
| specific detection of echinococcus spp. from the tibetan fox (vulpes ferrilata) and the red fox (v. vulpes) using copro-dna pcr analysis. | there are three echinococcus species, echinococcus granulosus, e. multilocularis, and e. shiquicus, which are distributed on the vast area of pastureland on the eastern tibetan plateau in china. tibetan foxes (vulpes ferrilata) have been determined to be the main wild definitive host of e. multilocularis and e. shiquicus, but little information is available on the prevalence of these two parasites in tibetan foxes. consequently, the copro-prevalence of these parasites in foxes from the eastern t ... | 2012 | 22744713 |
| first report of echinococcus shiquicus in dogs from eastern qinghai-tibet plateau region, china. | echinococcus shiquicus was discovered in foxes and pika wildlife hosts in sichuan province, china in 2005. faecal samples from dogs collected in a previous echinococcosis purgation survey from shiqu county, ganzi tibetan autonomous prefecture (sichuan) were screened by copropcr to investigate the possible occurrence of e. shiquicus. in addition, coprodna extracted from 8 necropsied tibetan foxes (vulpes ferrilata), the natural host of e. shiquicus, were also included. thirty (6/20) percent of fa ... | 2013 | 23507509 |
| [biological features of a new echinococcus species (echinococcus shiquicus) in the east of qinghai-tibet plateau]. | in the eastern qinghai-tibet plateau region, a variety of domestic and wild mammals are involved in the transmission cycles of echinococcus species. e. granulosus and e. multilocularis are known being sympatrically distributed in the plateau region. recently, an unknown echinococcus species was isolated from infected plateau pika (ochotona curzoniae) and tibetan fox (vulpes ferrilata). the species shows quite distinct characteristics on morphology, genetics, host specificity and geographical dis ... | 2008 | 24818378 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of the tibetan fox (vulpes ferrilata) and implications for the phylogeny of canidae. | canidae is a family of carnivores comprises about 36 extant species that have been defined as three distinct monophyletic groups based on multi-gene data sets. the tibetan fox (vulpes ferrilata) is a member of the family canidae that is endemic to the tibetan plateau and has seldom been in the focus of phylogenetic analyses. to clarify the phylogenic relationship of v. ferrilata between other canids, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome and firstly attempted to clarify the relative phylogenetic ... | 2016 | 26868757 |

| taeniid cestodes in tibetan foxes (vulpes ferrilata) detected by copro-pcr: applications and challenges. | tibetan foxes (vulpes ferrilata) have been confirmed as the main wild definitive hosts in echinococcosis transmission in the eastern tibetan plateau. however, little information is available about the epidemiology in wildlife from the perspective of the taeniidae family, which is essential knowledge in understanding the epidemiology and phylogeography of cestode species in the tibetan plateau. therefore, in this study, we used copro-pcr techniques, by amplifying nad1 and cox1 gene fragments, to ... | 2020 | 32714830 |
