Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector-Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

First report of Dipetalonema gracile in a captive Marcgrave's capuchin monkey (Sapajus flavius) in northeastern Brazil: Scientific communication

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022
Parasitic infections are important concern to the Wildlife Conservation Biology, particularly in endangered species. Herein, we report a parasitism by Dipetalonema gracile Rudolphi, 1809 (Spirurida, Filarioidea, Onchocercidae), in the peritoneal cavity ...

First Evidence of Human Zoonotic Infection by Onchocerca lupi (Spirurida, Onchocercidae) [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2011
In the past decades, cases of canine ocular onchocercosis have been reported worldwide, particularly in the United States and Europe. Onchocerca lupi, originally described from a wolf, has been implicated in some of these cases, and its zoonotic role has been hypothesized on the basis of the reexamination of two cases of human ocular onchocerciasis.

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 ...
