Testing non‐lethal techniques for endoparasite detection and sex determination in pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Developing non‐lethal techniques to estimate parasite infection is critical for studying disease ecology in wild animals. We tested the effectiveness of coelomic ultrasonographic examination and plasma enzyme markers to detect liver infection with bass tapeworms Proteocephalus ambloplitis (Leidy 1887) as well as the effectiveness of ultrasound

Evaluation of a new combined Western and line blot assay (EUROLINE-WB) for diagnosis and species identification of Echinococcus infection in humans

GMS Infectious Diseases, 2019
Serological detection of echinococcosis is crucial for diagnosis and management. We evaluated the new blot assay Euroline-WB (ELB, Euroimmun) which consists of a Western blot with vesicle antigens and a line blot part with recombinant antigens from ...

Even a worm will turn: An atypical presentation of hydatid disease

Southern African Journal of Infectious Diseases
Hydatid disease (cystic echinococcosis) is a neglected zoonosis, often incidentally detected in its late stages. The clinical manifestations depend on the location and dimensions of the cysts, with the liver and lungs frequently affected.

Surgical treatment of cardiac echinococcosis: a case report

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2023
Echinococcosis refers is a chronic disease caused by tapeworms of the order Cyclophyllidea. Echinococcal cysts increase in size slowly and are often asymptomatic, and the symptoms of cardiac echinococcosis are nonspecific, which in turn can make ...

Echinococcus species in wildlife

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Transmission of Echinococcus spp. in life cycles that involve mainly wildlife is well recognized for those species with small mammals as intermediate hosts (e. g. E. multilocularis), as well as for E. felidis and the 'northern' genotypes of E. canadensis (G8 and G10). In contrast, the remaining taxa of E.

Cystic echinococcosis due to Echinococcus equinus in a Swiss donkey

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page e71-e76, April 2025.
Summary A 22‐year‐old donkey (Equus asinus) mare was presented for investigation of a 3‐day history of lethargy and anorexia. Serum biochemistry profile revealed severe increased liver‐derived enzymes. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated several large round cysts in the liver.

Echinococcus shiquicus and Echinococcus felidis

, 2015
Currently, ten genotypes (G1-G10) of Echinococcus Sensu Lato have been explicitly identified on the basis of taxonomic criteria. These include morphometric keys, host specificity, geographical distribution, phylogenetic analysis and genome mapping. However, a few emergent species of genus Echinococcus have been indigenously confirmed in some autonomous

Utilisation of Anthropogenic Food by Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Britain as Determined by Stable Isotope Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Anthropogenic food consumption has been implicated in poor health outcomes for synanthropes. We used stable isotope analysis on British red fox whiskers to show a distinct diet between rural and urban foxes, where rural and urban fox diets consisted of around 6% and 35% anthropogenic food, respectively.
