| infection of llamas with stored eimeria macusaniensis oocysts obtained from guanaco and alpaca feces. | oocysts obtained from a guanaco and an alpaca with natural infections were identified as eimeria macusaniensis and evaluated for host specificity and infectivity over time. in 3 separate trials conducted over 4 yr, 4 adult llamas were fed 500-5,000 sporulated oocysts obtained from guanaco feces stored under laboratory conditions for 41-84 mo. infections with prepatent periods of 36-41 days and patent periods of 38-55 days developed in 4/4 llamas. in a fourth trial, 3 adult llamas and 1 alpaca we ... | 2008 | 18576765 |
| prevalence of eimeria macusaniensis and eimeria ivitaensis in south american camelids of northwest argentina. | faecal samples from mostly adult llamas (n=626), vicuñas (n=161) and guanacos (n=4) were obtained between december 2004 and july 2008 in three provinces of northwest argentina in order to study the prevalence of eimeria macusaniensis and eimeria ivitaensis. faeces were examined by a flotation technique using a cl(2)zn+clna solution (specific gravity=1.59). oocysts of e. macusaniensis occurred in 88.3% of 77 llama herds and in 50.3% of 626 llamas sampled whereas oocysts of e. ivitaensis occurred ... | 2009 | 19349120 |
| eimeria macusaniensis associated lesions in neonate alpacas dying from enterotoxemia. | histopathological analysis of 108 intestine samples (103 grossly affected ileum and 5 jejunum) taken from clostridium-induced neonatal alpaca (vicugna pacos) enterotoxemia mortalities collected in the departments of arequipa, puno and cusco of southern peru during the 2005-2008 birth seasons (january-march), revealed the presence of large numbers of both asexual and sexual stages of eimeria macusaniensis in 33/108 (30.55%) of the samples with moderate to severe necrotized and/or hemorrhagic ente ... | 2010 | 19926224 |
| zoonotic parasites associated with felines from the patagonian holocene. | feline coprolites were examined for parasites with the aim of studying ancient infections that occurred in the patagonian region during the holocene period. eggs compatible to trichuris sp., calodium sp., eucoleus sp., nematodirus sp., oesophagostomum sp.

| new paleoparasitological investigations from the pre-inca to hispanic contact period in northern chile. | paleoparasitological studies have demonstrated that changes in environment or culture are reflected in the patterns of parasitic infection diseases in populations worldwide. the advent of agriculture and animal domestication, with its accompanying reduction in human mobility and expanding population involves changes in or emergence of, parasites, the so-called first epidemiological transition. cultural processes related to territory occupation contribute to both loss and acquisition of parasites ... | 2018 | 29191518 |
