Immunohistochemical study and mRNA cytokine profile of the local immune response in cattle naturally infected with Calicophoron daubneyi [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2015
In order to recognize the local immune response of the definitive host to Calicophoron daubneyi natural infection, an immunohistochemical study was carried out in the reticulum and rumen in 49 naturally infected cattle. The role of cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10 interleukins and IFN-γ) in the activation of specific defence mechanisms was evaluated by ...

Multivariate spatially-structured variability of ovine helminth infections

Geospatial Health, 2007
A cross-sectional survey was carried out on 2004-2005 in the Campania region, southern Italy, to study the multivariate geographical distribution of four different sheep helminths, i.e.

Larval trematode infections in Lymnaea glabra populations living in the Brenne Regional Natural Park, central France

Parasite, 2015
Lymnaea glabra is known to be a natural intermediate host of two flukes, Calicophoron daubneyi and Fasciola hepatica, in central France. But it can also sustain larval development of other digeneans.

Establishment of the complete life cycle of Calicophoron daubneyi under experimental conditions

Veterinary Parasitology
The complex life cycle of the rumen fluke Calicophoron daubneyi is similar to that of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica. Interestingly, C. daubneyi and F. hepatica share the same intermediate host, Galba truncatula. However, in contrast to its relative, experimental production of metacercariae is a major challenge for C.

Biotic interactions in soil and dung shape parasite transmission in temperate ruminant systems: An integrative framework

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 3, April 2024.
Abstract Gastrointestinal helminth parasites undergo part of their life cycle outside their host, such that developmental stages interact with the soil and dung fauna. These interactions are capable of affecting parasite transmission on pastures yet are generally ignored in current models, empirical studies and practical management. Dominant methods of

Evaluation of the Performance of Five Diagnostic Tests for Fasciola hepatica Infection in Naturally Infected Cattle Using a Bayesian No Gold Standard Approach. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The clinical and economic importance of fasciolosis has been recognised for centuries, yet diagnostic tests available for cattle are far from perfect.

Identification of factors associated with Fasciola hepatica infection risk areas on pastures via an environmental DNA survey of Galba truncatula distribution using droplet digital and quantitative real‐time PCR assays

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
ddPCR‐ and qPCR‐based eDNA assays were developed and applied to survey Galba truncatula on pastureland with the aim of identifying Fasciola hepatica infection risk areas. The likelihood of G. truncatula eDNA presence was lower in habitats that were fully shaded by trees, had black or dark brown soils, and contained deep water pools. The tools developed

Ruminal paramphistomosis in cattle from northeastern Algeria: prevalence, parasite burdens and species identification

Parasite, 2014
Slaughterhouse samples were analysed over a two-year period (September 2010–August 2012) in Jijel (northeastern Algeria) in order to determine seasonal variations in the prevalence and intensity of bovine paramphistomosis in a Mediterranean climate and ...
