Cercopithifilaria rugosicauda (Spirurida, Onchocercidae) in a roe deer and ticks from southern Italy

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2013
Cercopithifilaria rugosicauda (Spirurida, Onchocercidae) is a subcutaneous filarial nematode of the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) transmitted by Ixodes ricinus (Acari, Ixodidae). At the necropsy of a roe deer from the Parco Regionale di Gallipoli Cognato (Basilicata region, southern Italy), two female nematodes of C.

Shaking the Tree: Multi-locus Sequence Typing Usurps Current Onchocercid (Filarial Nematode) Phylogeny. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
During the past twenty years, a number of molecular analyses have been performed to determine the evolutionary relationships of Onchocercidae, a family of filarial nematodes encompassing several species of medical or veterinary importance.

Incidental Detection of Microfilariae in Saguinus bicolor and Saguinus midas From Central Amazon. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Callitrichid primates Saguinus bicolor and Saguinus midas from urban accidents in peri‐urban forests from Central Amazon were necropsied. Analysis of thoracic and peritoneal fluid showed that 56.5% (13/23) of S. bicolor individuals and 13.3% (4/30) of S.

Mansonella sp. and associated Wolbachia endosymbionts in ring-tailed coatis (Nasua nasua) in periurban areas from Midwestern Brazil

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
Coatis (Nasua nasua) are wild carnivorous well adapted to anthropized environments especially important because they act as reservoirs hosts for many arthropod-borne zoonotic pathogens.

Investigation on key aspects of mating biology in the mosquito Aedes koreicus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 826-833, December 2023., 2023
A laboratory colony of Aedes koreicus derived from the area of initial introduction and establishment in Italy did not display autogenic behaviour. We observed repeated attempts at insemination and an aggressive and disruptive behaviour of Aedes albopictus males towards Ae.

Filarial infections in lemurs: Evidence for a wide geographical distribution and low host specificity among lemur species

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
A microscopic analysis of 942 blood smears from Microcebus murinus, M. ravelobensis and two rodent species from northwestern Madagascar revealed the presence of an unnamed Onchocercidae species with low prevalence (1.0%−2.1%) in both mouse lemur species, but not in the rodents.

Beyond bacteria: Reconstructing microorganism connections and deciphering the predicted mutualisms in mammalian gut metagenomes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Here, we unraveled the complex connection among them using approximately 123 gut metagenomes from 42 mammalian species (including carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores). Our study revealed the existence of predicted mutualism among members of these six kingdoms (e.g., archaea, bacteria, viruses, fungi, protists, and nematodes) and of the predicted ...

Mosquito Magnet® traps as a potential means of monitoring blackflies of medical and veterinary importance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 646-651, December 2021., 2021
Mosquito Magnet traps for mosquitoes also caught blackflies, including species of veterinary importance. Most common species caught were Simulium equinum (causes ‘sweet itch’ in livestock), Simulium lineatum and Simulium ornatum s.l. (vector of Onchocerca linealis).

Micro‐CT imaging of Onchocerca infection of Simulium damnosum s.l. blackflies and comparison of the peritrophic membrane thickness of forest and savannah flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 231-238, September 2021., 2021
Micro‐computed tomography was used to visualize in 3D an L1 larva of an Onchocerca species within the thoracic musculature of a blackfly, Simulium damnosum s.l., naturally infected in Ghana. There were no statistically significant differences between the mean thicknesses of the peritrophic membranes of forest and savannah blackflies killed 34–48 min ...
