| taeniid species of the iberian wolf (canis lupus signatus) in portugal with special focus on echinococcus spp. | taeniid species represent relevant pathogens in human and animals, circulating between carnivorous definitive hosts and a variety of mammalian intermediate hosts. in portugal, however, little is known about their occurrence and life cycles, especially in wild hosts. an epidemiological survey was conducted to clarify the role of the iberian wolf as a definitive host for taeniid species, including echinococcus spp. wolf fecal samples (n = 68) were collected from two regions in northern portugal. t ... | 2013 | 24533315 |
| global distribution of alveolar and cystic echinococcosis. | alveolar echinococcosis (ae) and cystic echinococcosis (ce) are severe helminthic zoonoses. echinococcus multilocularis (causative agent of ae) is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere where it is typically maintained in a wild animal cycle including canids as definitive hosts and rodents as intermediate hosts. the species echinococcus granulosus, echinococcus ortleppi, echinococcus canadensis and echinococcus intermedius are the causative agents of ce with a worldwide distribution and a ... | 2017 | 28131365 |
| echinococcus granulosus pig strain (g7 genotype) protoscoleces did not develop secondary hydatid cysts in mice. | echinococcus granulosus, the aetiological agent of cystic hydatid disease, exists as a series of strains or genotypes which differ in biological features. pig strain (g7 genotype) has been shown to differ from sheep strain (g1 genotype) in phenotypical characters such as intermediate host range, geographical distribution and rate of development of the adult worm. since in vivo studies of different parasite genotypes can provide insights into host-parasite relationship we analysed for the first t ... | 2012 | 23265812 |
| molecular characterization of echinococcus granulosus s.l. cysts from cattle, camels, goats and pigs in ethiopia. | cystic echinococcosis (ce) caused by echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) is a neglected helminth zoonosis affecting humans and various animal species. human ce has been reported in almost all countries of sub-saharan africa but its prevalence and public health impact are subject to large geographical variations. the reasons for these differences are not well understood; among other factors, occurrence of different species/genotypes of e. granulosus s.l. has been suggested. ce is very commo ... | 2016 | 26790732 |
| echinococcus canadensis, e. borealis, and e. intermedius. what's in a name? | the phylogenetic relationships of the g6, g7, g8, and g10 genotypes of echinococcus granulosus are well defined, but their taxonomic status is currently unresolved. we apply an evolutionary species concept to infer that the g6 and g7 genotypes represent a single species that is different to both the g8 and g10 genotypes, and that the g8 and g10 genotypes are also on different evolutionary trajectories and, therefore, should be regarded as separate species. the names echinococcus intermedius, ech ... | 2015 | 25440521 |
