Genetic diversity of common Gasterophilus spp. from distinct habitats in China [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Gasterophilus species are widely distributed around the world. The larvae of these flies parasitize the digestive tract of equids and cause damage, hindering horse breeding and protection of endangered species.

The antenna of horse stomach bot flies: morphology and phylogenetic implications (Oestridae, Gasterophilinae: Gasterophilus Leach). [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
Antennae are among the most elaborate sensory organs in adult flies, and they provide rich information for phylogenic studies. The antennae of five out of eight species of Gasterophilus Leach (G. haemorrhoidalis (Linnaeus), G.

Gasterophilus (Diptera, Gasterophilidae) infestation of equids in the Kalamaili Nature Reserve, China [PDF]

Parasite, 2016
We investigated infections with Gasterophilus spp. in three equids within the Kalamaili Nature Reserve (northern China). We conducted necropsies on 6 Przewalski’s horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) and 6 Mongolian wild asses (Equus hemionus) and ...

Morphological Study of First Instar Elephant Stomach Bot Fly Larvae (Oestridae: Gasterophilinae: Cobboldia elephantis) [PDF]

Insects
Cobboldia elephantis (Oestridae: Gasterophilinae) is an obligate parasite of the alimentary tract of the Asian elephant, causing gastric myiasis. Current knowledge of its first instar larval morphology has been limited to observations under light ...

Protein expression profile of Gasterophilus intestinalis larvae causing horse gastric myiasis and characterization of horse immune reaction. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2009
Background: Little information is available on the immunological aspect of parasitic Gasterophilus intestinalis (Diptera, Oestridae) larvae causing horse gastric myiasis. The objectives of this research were to analyze the protein content of larval crude

Analysis on the relationship between winter precipitation and the annual variation of horse stomach fly community in arid desert steppe, Northwest China (2007-2019). [PDF]

Integr Zool, 2022
The botfly infestation intensity of Przewalski’s horses were investigated for 13 years in Kalamaili Nature Reserve, China. The intensity and composition of botflies were affected by winter precipitation indirectly in Przewalski’s horses. The distribution of artificial water sources sites should be considered for decreasing the intensity of equines ...

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...
