The Role of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Life Cycle of Toxocara spp.
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 The present study aimed to experimentally assess Nile tilapia as potential paratenic host of Toxocara spp. A total of 15 Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were fed with 300 embryonated Toxocara canis eggs by oral gavage, while five others of the ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 A total of 10 species of Baylisascaris, a genus of ascaridoid nematodes, occur worldwide and 6 of them occur in the New World. Most of the Baylisascaris species have a similar life cycle with carnivorous mammals or marsupials serving as definitive hosts ...

Earthworms as Paratenic Hosts of Toxoplasmosis in Eastern Barred Bandicoots in Tasmania [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2000 An experimental feeding study was designed to assess the role of earthworms in the transmission of Toxoplasma gondii infection to eastern barred bandicoots (Perameles gunnii). Six animals with no agglutinating antibodies to T. gondii were fed artificially cultured earthworms that had been maintained in autoclaved nutrient-enriched soil.

Corynosomaacanthocephalans in their paratenic fish hosts in the northern Baltic Sea [PDF]
Parasite, 2003 Cystacanth stages of three Corynosoma (Acanthocephala) species, C. strumosum and C. semerme, and a new species in the Bothnian Bay, C. magdaleni, were studied in the fourhorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus quadricornis) in 1996-1997. The length of the trunk and proboscis differentiated the three species in the fish.

A Gastropod Scavenger Serving as Paratenic Host for Larval Helminth Communities in Shore Crabs [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology, 2003 The whelk Cominella glandiformis is an important predator-scavenger of New Zealand intertidal ecosystems; a few whelks can quickly eat all the soft tissues of recently dead crabs. In this study, we demonstrate that whelks can also ingest and act as paratenic hosts for at least 4 helminth species that use crabs as intermediate hosts: metacercariae of ...

Microorganisms, 2022 Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati are globally occurring zoonotic roundworms of dogs and cats. Migration and persistence of Toxocara larvae in the central nervous system of paratenic hosts including humans may cause clinical signs of neurotoxocarosis (NT).

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019 Background Neurotoxocarosis (NT) is induced by larvae of the dog or cat roundworm (Toxocara canis or T. cati) migrating and persisting in the central nervous system of paratenic hosts, including humans, and may be accompanied by severe neurological ...
