Prevalence of Intestinal Helminth Infections in Dogs and Two Species of Wild Animals from Samarkand Region of Uzbekistan.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal helminth parasitic infections and associated risk factors for the human infection among the people of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Infection status of helminths including Echinococcus granulosus was surveyed in domestic and wild animals from 4 sites in the Samarkand region, Uzbekistan during 2015-2018. Fecal samples of each animal were examined with the formalin-ether sedimentation technique and the recovery of intestinal helminths was performed with naked eyes and a stereomicroscope in total 1,761 animals (1,755 dogs, 1 golden jackal, and 5

Infection status of estuarine fish and oysters with intestinal fluke metacercariae in Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea.

The source of human infection with intestinal flukes was surveyed in estuarine fishes, including the dotted gizzard shad, common sea bass, common blackish goby, redlip mullet, black sea bream, and oyster collected from Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea during August and September 2007. Collected fishes and oysters were artificially digested in pepsin-HCl solution and examined under a stereomicroscope. In 36 shads (Konosirus punctatus) and 20 basses (Lateolabrax japonicus) examined, Heterophyopsis continua metacercariae were found in 58.3% and 100%, and their average numbers were 12.0 and 6.3 per i

[Parasite fauna of red foxes in Berlin (West)].

The infestation with ecto- and endoparasites of red foxes in Berlin (West) was investigated. As shown by post mortems of 100 animals (47 males and 53 females), none of them was found to be free of parasites. With regard to ectoparasites, 3 species of ixodes ticks, 7 flea species, one species of biting lice and mite species were demonstrated. The sarcoptic mange is often inducing the death of the foxes and is considered to be a limiting factor of the population increment. Concerning endoparasites, cestodes (6 species), trematodes (7 species), nematodes (10 species) and 3 coccidian species were

Survey of hepatic and pulmonary helminths of wild cervids in Alberta, Canada.

During the 1988 hunting season, livers and lungs from 263 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), 198 moose (Alces alces), 147 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and 94 wapiti (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) from Alberta (Canada) were collected for parasitological examination. Most of the samples (89%) were submitted by big game hunters throughout the province. Giant liver fluke (Fascioloides magna) was found in 9% of 22 yearling and 29% of 65 adult wapiti; 4% of 161 adult moose; and 2% of 97 adult white-tailed deer. The intensity of infection generally was low; however, one wapiti had ove

Mammalian wildlife diseases as hazards to man and livestock in an area of the Llanos Orientales of Colombia.

Development of the LLanos Orientales of Colombia, and access to underdeveloped areas in the Llanos, may create disease hazards to man and domestic animals or introduce exotic pathogens, creating reservoirs of infection for domestic animals and acting as limiting factors on the native wild species. A survey of wild animals common to the Llanos revealed a number of parasites indigenous to the area. A total total of 59 mammalian species, representing eight orders were examined. Haematozoa were represented by Trypanosoma cruzi, T. evansi and T. rangeli. Eight species of ticks were found: Amblyomma

In vitro influence of temperature on the biological control activity of the fungus Duddingtonia flagrans against Haemonchus contortus in sheep.

Recently, research for alternative methods to combat gastrointestinal parasites has increased, and the biological control activity of the fungus Duddingtonia flagrans stands out. In this study, the possible influence of temperature on the nematophagous activity of D. flagrans, after gastrointestinal passage, against Haemonchus contortus in sheep was analysed. Four female sheep, between 2 and 3 years of age and weighing between 40 and 50 kg, were used. Two sheep were parasitised with H. contortus, while two other sheep were dewormed. Before the collection of faeces, one of the dewormed animals

Histopathological survey of protozoa, helminths and acarids of imported and local psittacine and passerine birds in Japan.

A total of 534 psittacine and passerine birds consisting of 241 imported and 293 local birds were examined histologically. As a result, the following parasites were found: Giardia (86 cases), Knemido-coptes (26 cases), coccidia (10 cases), Ascaridia (6 cases), Cryptosporidium (5 cases), Sarcocystis (5 cases), tapeworm (4 cases), microfilaria (2 cases), Hexamita (1 case), and Spiroptera (1 case). High incidences of giardiasis and knemido-coptic infestation were detected in the local birds, but rarely in the imported birds. Giardial trophozoites were observed mainly in the duodenum of budgerigar

Imported Eosinophilia in Migrants from Endemic Areas in Spain.

Eosinophilia is a valuable biomarker for estimating the likelihood of parasitic infection in immigrants from tropical or subtropical regions … tions. In conclusion, eosinophilia is common among migrants and represents a valuable biomarker for helminthiasis. Despite protocolized evaluation, nearly half of the cases remain undiagnosed. The most frequent etiologies were filariasis, strongyloidiasis, and schistosomiasis, with African patients having the highest probability of diagnosis. Improved diagnosti …

A delayed diagnosis of fascioliasis: The importance of appropriate fecal diagnostic method.

Fascioliasis, a zoonotic helminthiasis, occurs sporadically in Japan. In this report, we describe a case of fascioliasis that was initially difficult to diagnose because the fecal examination method was negative for the Fasciola sp. eggs. A 64-year-old man living in Shimonoseki City, Japan, presented with fatigue and anorexia. Laboratory tests showed hepatic dysfunction and eosinophilia. Abdominal dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography suggested intrahepatic biliary cysts. Thereafter, fever and night sweats persisted, and positron emission…

Спатиовременная эпидемиология заболеваний скота в различных полузасушливых пастбищах северной Кении.

Болезни, затрагивающие скот, могут оказывать значительное воздействие на животных, людей и экономику. В графстве Самбуру, Северная Кения, был проведен совместный эпидемиологический и пространственный анализ для оценки проблем, связанных с заболеваниями скота. При содействии местных лидеров были отобраны ключевые информаторы. Среди скота было установлено, что козлы имеют наибольшее экономическое значение. С другой стороны, было установлено, что болезни Pestes des Petits Ruminants (PPR), Foot and Muth Bealth (FMD) и Camel Tripanosomis оказывают наибольшее воздействие на средства к существованию
