Trypanosoma evansi is a widespread and neglected zoonotic parasite that affects domestic and wild animals, causing a disease commonly known as “surra.” The Brazilian Pantanal wetland is recognized as an enzootic area for this protozoan, yet recognizing the importance of reservoir hosts also in order to prevent zoonotic outbreaks. This study aimed to assess the occurrence of T. evansi in jaguars (...... hiện toàn bộ
Description of new types of sphaeractinomyxon actinospores (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) from marine tubificid oligochaetes, with a discussion on the validity of the tetraspora and the endocapsa as actinospore collective group namesParasitology Research - Tập 115 - Trang 2341-2351 - 2016

Ten new types of sphaeractinomyxon actinospores are morphologically and molecularly described from the coelomic cavity of two marine oligochaete hosts, Limnodriloides agnes (Hrabě, 1967) and Tubificoides pseudogaster (Dahl, 1960), from Aveiro estuary, Portugal. The smallest sphaeractinomyxon type measured 17 μm (length) × 19 μm (width) × 19 μm (apical diameter), whereas the largest type measured 6...... hiện toàn bộ
FMRFamide-related peptides inHymenolepis diminuta: Immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassayParasitology Research - Tập 80 - Trang 374-380 - 1994
S. C. Sukhdeo, M. V. K. Sukhdeo
The localization of FMRFamide-related peptide (FaRP) immunoreactivity was determined during different stages of development of the rat tapewormHymenolepis diminuta. In the adult worm (14 days old), FaRP immunostaining was most intense in the scolex and concentrated in the central nervous system (cerebral ganglia and transverse commissures) and around the lips of the suckers. In the strobila, media...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative efficacy of two fipronil spot-on formulations against experimental tick infestations (Ixodes ricinus) in dogsParasitology Research - Tập 107 - Trang 735-739 - 2010
Stéphane Bonneau, Sandeep Gupta, Marie-Christine Cadiergues
A parallel-group-design, randomized, unicentre and blinded controlled study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of a new fipronil-based spot-on formulation applied once to dogs against experimental Ixodes ricinus infestations. Six dogs served as negative controls (group 1), six dogs served as positive controls (group 2) receiving the original fipronil spot-on (Frontline® spot-on Dog, Merial) at ...... hiện toàn bộ
The typing of Trypanosoma evansi isolates using mobile genetic element (MGE) PCRParasitology Research - Tập 108 - Trang 1583-1587 - 2011
Z. K. Njiru, P. K. Gitonga, K. Ndungu
The mobile genetic element PCR (MGE-PCR) is a simple and sensitive technique that can be used to detect genetic variability in Trypanosoma brucei ssp. To investigate the reliability of MGE-PCR in genotyping Trypanosoma evansi, stocks that were isolated directly from camels and after their respective passage in mice were analyzed. Construction of a dendrogram using the MGE-PCR banding profiles reve...... hiện toàn bộ
