| internal parasites of feral cats from the tasmanian midlands and king island. | eighty-six feral cats from a sheep grazing area in the tasmanian midlands and 21 from king island were examined for internal parasites. major food items in order of decreasing prevalence in stomach contents were insects, lizards, birds, rodents and frogs in the midlands, and rodents, birds, insects, and lizards on king island. feral cats from the midlands had 4 cestode, 7 nematode, 2 trematode and 3 protozoan parasites as follows: spirometra erinacei (66.3%), taenia taeniaeformis (2.3%), dipylid ... | 1976 | 985246 |
| the ecology of echinococcus multilocularis (cestoda: taeniidae) on st. lawrence island, alaska. ii. helminth populations in the definitive host. | the helminths of 1,579 arctic foxes from st. lawrence island were investigated by standard methods. the foxes, obtained mainly during the winter from fur trappers, harbored 22 species of helminths. four of those were trematodes, viz., maritrema afanassjewi belopol'skaia, 1952, orthosplanchnus pygmaeus iurakhno, 1967, plagiorchis elegans (rudolphi, 1802) and alaria marcianae (larue, 1917), each of which occurred in a single host. two species of cestodes, diphyllobothrium dendriticum (nitzsch, 182 ... | 1990 | 2080830 |
| helminth parasites and arthropods of feral cats. | the prevalence (%) of helminth parasites in 327 mainly adult feral cats from 3 habitat groupings in victoria and new south wales was determined. the cestodes taenia taeniaeformis (33%) and spirometra erinacei (33%) were common; dipylidium caninum was rate (2%). the nematodes toxocara cati (28%), cyathospirura dasyuridis and cylicospirura felineus combined (27%) and aelurostrongylus abstrusus (14%) were common but their prevalence differed markedly between habitats. ollulanus tricuspis (5%), gnat ... | 1981 | 7340783 |
| first record of cylicospirura (cylicospirura) felineus (chandler, 1925) sandground, 1933 (nematoda: spirocercidae) from a domestic cat in south africa. | cylicospirura (cylicospirura) felineus (chandler, 1925) sandground, 1933 is reported from a cat in south africa for the first time. the nematode was present in a gastric parasitic nodule in a male domestic cat, and three males were recovered as well as the anterior parts of three and the posterior parts of two gravid females. the heads of two specimens of undetermined sex were also found. part of the removed parasitic nodule was processed for histopathological examination. the parasitic nodule w ... | 2006 | 17283725 |
| cylicospirura species (nematoda: spirocercidae) and stomach nodules in cougars (puma concolor) and bobcats (lynx rufus) in oregon. | the stomachs and proximal duodena of 160 cougars (puma concolor) and 17 bobcats (lynx rufus), obtained throughout oregon during 7 yr, were examined for cylicospirura spp. and associated lesions. prevalence in cougars was 73%, with a range in intensity of 1-562 worms. the mean diameter of nodules was 1.2 cm (sd=0.5), and many extended through the submucosa to the muscularis. about 83% of cougars had nodules; most nodules contained worms, but 14% of the smaller nodules (<0.2 cm) contained porcupin ... | 2011 | 21270003 |
| first report of cylicospirura felineus in a feral domestic shorthair cat in north america. | a feral domestic shorthair cat was euthanized owing to acute onset and progression of neurological signs attributed to ethylene glycol toxicity. at post-mortem examination two nodules were identified within the fundus of the stomach. examination of the gastric nodules revealed an intact mucosal surface, each with multiple red slender nematodes extending through an individual central pore. histopathological evaluation of the nodules highlighted unique reactive fibroplasia, mimicking feline gastro ... | 2017 | 28491368 |
| molecular genomics resource for the parasitic nematode spirocerca lupi: identification of 149 microsatellite loci using fiasco and next generation sequencing. | understanding genetic diversity and movement patterns in parasitic organisms is paramount to establish control and management strategies. in this study we developed a microsatellite resource as well as a diagnostic multiplex for the cosmopolitan parasitic nematode spirocerca lupi, known to cause spirocercosis in canids. a combination of microsatellite enrichment and 454 sequencing was used to identify 149 unique microsatellite loci in s. lupi. twenty loci were characterized further in two sampli ... | 2015 | 26477486 |
| helminth species diversity and biology in the bobcat, lynx rufus (schreber), from nebraska. | cestodes of 4 species and nematodes of 9 species were collected from 75 bobcats, lynx rufus (schreber), in nebraska from 1977 to 1979. of these 75, 11 were trapped from 6 border counties in 3 border states: south dakota, 7 carcasses/3 counties; kansas, 3/2; and wyoming, 1/1. helminths recovered included: mesocestoides corti hoeppli, 1925 (15% prevalence), taenia rileyi loewen, 1929 (67%), taenia pisiformis (bloch, 1780) gmelin, 1790 (27%), taenia macrocystis (diesing, 1850) lühe, 1910 (19%), phy ... | 1985 | 3998960 |
