morphology and life history of alaria mustelae bosma 1931 (trematoda: diplostomatidae) from minnesota mustelids. | on the bases of morphological and life history studies, flukes of the subgenus paralaria from minnesota mustelids were identified as alaria (paralaria) mustelae bosma 1931. alaria (p.) canadensis webster and wolfgang 1956 and a. (p.) taxideae swanson and erickson 1946 are synonyms of a. mustelae (new synonymy). | 1979 | 448589 |
helminth parasites of fisher martes pennanti (erxleben) from manitoba, canada. | seven species of helminths were recovered during a survey of 162 fisher (martes pennanti) from four areas of manitoba: baylisascaris devosi in 52 fisher; taenia sibirica in 25; physaloptera sp. in nine; alaria mustelae in two; metorchis conjunctus in one; trichinella spiralis in one of 81; molineus sp. in one. b. devosi was the most prevalent parasite and differences in its geographical distribution were possibly related to population density of fisher. the prevalence of other parasites did not ... | 1979 | 574167 |
helminth parasitism in martens (martes americana) and ermines (mustela erminea) from washington, with comments on the distribution of trichinella spiralis. | helminths are reported for the first time from ermines (mustela erminea) and martens (martes americana) in washington (usa). among 22 adult ermines, 41% were infected by one or more of five species (taenia mustelae, alaria mustelae, molineus patens, m. mustelae and trichinella spiralis). among 78 adult martens from three geographic localities, the prevalence was 83%. nine species were identified (mesocestoides sp., t. mustelae and t. martis americana, euryhelmis squamula, m. patens, baylisascari ... | 1990 | 2250320 |

parasitic helminths of free-ranging mink (neovison vison mink) from southern florida. | five free-ranging mink, neovison vison mink, from in or near the fakahatchee strand preserve state park, collier county, florida (26 degrees 00'n, 81 degrees 25'w), were examined for parasitic helminths. nine species of helminths were identified (2 trematodes, 5 nematodes, and 2 acanthocephalans). the most prevalent parasites were molineus patens (4 of 5 mink), mean intensity 173 (range, 12-342); strongyloides sp. (4 of 5), mean intensity 48 (range, 1-170); macracanthorhynchus ingens (immature) ... | 2007 | 17918381 |
linking larvae and adults of apharyngostrigea cornu, hysteromorpha triloba and alaria mustelae (diplostomoidea: digenea) using molecular data. | abstract because the taxonomy of trematodes is based on adults, the larval stages of most digeneans cannot be identified to species based on morphology alone. molecular data provide a means of linking larval stages to known adults. we obtained sequences from the barcode region of cytochrome oxidase i (co1) from adult and larval parasites of fish, frogs, birds, and mammals across north america. sequences from adult apharyngostrigea cornu, hysteromorpha triloba, and alaria mustelae (diplostomoidea ... | 2011 | 21510747 |
prevalence of alaria infection in companion animals in north central oklahoma from 2006 through 2015 and detection in wildlife. | objective to determine the prevalence of alaria infection in cats and dogs in north central oklahoma over various periods and investigate whether wild animal species in this region were also infected. design combined cross-sectional study and case series. sample results of parasitological testing of fecal samples from 5,417 client-owned dogs and 1,246 client-owned cats (2006 through 2014); fecal samples from 837 shelter or rescue dogs and 331 shelter or rescue cats (2013 and 2014) and 268 feral ... | 2017 | 28358635 |
alaria mesocercariae in the tails of red-sided garter snakes: evidence for parasite-mediated caudectomy. | trematodes of the genus alaria develop into an arrested stage, known as mesocercariae, within their amphibian second intermediate host. the mesocercariae are frequently transmitted to a non-obligate paratenic host before reaching a definitive host where further development and reproduction can occur. snakes are common paratenic hosts for alaria spp. with the mesocercariae often aggregating in the host's tail. in the current study, we used morphological examination and molecular analyses based on ... | 2015 | 26337267 |
epizootic and zoonotic helminths of the bobcat (lynx rufus) in illinois and a comparison of its helminth component communities across the american midwest. | a total of 6257 helminths of 19 taxa were recovered from the digestive tract and lungs of 67 bobcats in illinois. infections caused by alaria mustelae, diphyllobothrium latum, and macracanthorhynchus ingens are reported for the first time in bobcats. from all the taxa recovered, only three species occurred in high prevalence and caused intense infections: taenia rileyi, alaria marcianae, and toxocara cati, with prevalence and mean intensity of 70% and 6; 42% and 193, and 25% and 14 individuals, ... | 2014 | 24521984 |
