Pathology of Larval Eustrongylides in the Rabbit

The Journal of Parasitology, 1984
Three fishermen from Maryland who swallowed live bait-minnows developed severe abdominal pain within 24 hr; 2 required abdominal surgery. Larvae of the nematode Eustrongylides sp. were found in the peritoneal cavity of both (Guerin et al., 1982). In the current study, the lesions produced by Eustrongylides larvae were investigated in New Zealand white ...

PATHOGENESIS OF EUSTRONGYLIDES IGNOTUS (NEMATODA: DIOCTOPHYMATOIDEA) IN CICONIIFORMES

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1993
Natural (n = 157) and experimental (n = 5) infections with the nematode Eustrongylides ignotus are described for ciconiforms collected in Florida (USA). Larvae perforated the ventriculus in 3 to 5 hr and caused hemorrhage and bacterial peritonitis that sometimes progressed to a fibrous peritonitis with extensive adhesions.

Intestinal Perforation Caused by Larval Eustrongylides (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidae) in New Jersey

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1989
Two large living nematodes were removed from the peritoneal cavity of a 17-year-old youth complaining of intense abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. The worms measured 55 and 59 mm in length and were identified as fourth-stage larvae of Eustrongylides. The patient gave a history of swallowing live minnows while fishing.

A Merganser Die-Off Associated with Larval Eustrongylides

Avian Diseases, 1964
Although several species of Eustrongylides have been reported from mergansers, there is only one report in the North American literature of merganser losses due to nematodes of this genus. Giltner (4) included a report by J. E. Shillinger, U.S. Bureau of Biological Survey, which mentioned losses due to Eustrongylides mergorum among these fish-eating ...

The Development of Eustrongylides tubifex (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea) in Oligochaetes

The Journal of Parasitology, 1988
Egg development of Eustrongylides tubifex (Nitzsch in Rudolphi, 1819) Jägerskiöld, 1909, was studied at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 C. Eggs developed at 20, 25, and 30 C. Development ceased at 0, 5, 10, and 15 C but resumed when temperatures were raised. Eggs contained first-stage larvae in 23-26 days at 25 C.

The Larvae of Eustrongylides ignotus in Fundulus heteroclitus

The Journal of Parasitology, 1945
Eustrongylides larvae occur in Fundulus diaphanus (Chapin, 1926; Mueller, 1934), in Fundulus heteroclitus (von Brand, 1938), as well as in a variety of other fish (Hunter, 1937, 1942; von Brand, 1944). It is not possible to decide at the present time whether they all belong to one species, since the larvae of the various species are extremely similar ...

EPIZOOTIOLOGY OF EUSTRONGYLIDES IGNOTUS IN FLORIDA: TRANSMISSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF LARVAE IN INTERMEDIATE HOSTS

Journal of Parasitology, 2003
Under laboratory conditions, 2 modes of transmission of Eustrongylides ignotus (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea) to fish were identified. Eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) became infected after ingestion of either eggs of E. ignotus containing first-stage larvae or aquatic oligochaetes (Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri) containing third-stage larvae of E ...

Morbidity and Mortality of Great Blue Herons in Indiana Caused by Eustrongylides ignotus

Avian Diseases, 1977
The cause of the frequent high losses and morbidity in young herons, especially under a year old, has been generally obscure (7). Bowdish (1) and Locke (5) indicated, however, that the nematode Eustrongylides ignotus was the cause of fatalities in herons and egrets on the East Coast of the United States.

Experimental and Natural Infections of Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatidae) in Waterfowl and Shore Birds

Avian Diseases, 1978
The occurrence of Eustrongylides sp. is reported for five species of fish-eating birds collected in the western-basin region of Lake Erie. Mature specimens of E. tubifex were recovered from 5 of 74 laboratory-reared Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) infected experimentally with larval worms taken from Yellow perch, Perca flavescens.

Eustrongylides sp. Epizootic in Young Common Egrets (Casmerodius albus)

Avian Diseases, 1988
In May 1985, epizootic mortality was reported in common egrets (Casmerodius albus) on Avery Island, Louisiana. Subsequent investigation revealed that more than 400 birds died. Severe peritoneal nematodiasis (Eustrongylides sp.) was found on postmortem examination. A nearby breeding rookery on the same island was apparently unaffected.
