Mosquitoes in the Danube Delta: searching for vectors of filarioid helminths and avian malaria

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Mosquitoes are arthropods of major importance to animal and human health because they are able to transmit pathogenic agents such as filarioids (Spirurida), vector-borne nematodes, which reside in the tissues of vertebrates.

Mesothelial metaplasia in European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis (Testudines: Emydidae) infected with Spiroxys contortus (Nematoda: Spirurida) [PDF]

Helminthologia, 2013
Abstract The mesothelium consists of a monolayer of specialized epithelial cells that line the surfaces of the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities. The present study reports mesothelial changes associated with larval stages of the spirurid nematode Spiroxys contortus in a naturally infected European pond turtle. Between 2002

First reports of autochthonous eyeworm infection by Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida, Thelaziidae) in dogs and cat from France

Veterinary Parasitology, 2007
Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida, Thelaziidae) is a small nematode living in the conjunctival sac of domestic and wild carnivores, rabbits and humans causing lacrimation, epiphora, conjunctivitis, keratitis and even corneal ulcers. The first autochthonous cases of thelaziosis affecting four dogs and one cat living in South Western France (Dordogne area ...

Morphological description of infective larval stage of Physaloptera (Spirurida: Physalopteridae), and histological lesions in the paratenic host Leptodactylus macrosternum (Anura: Leptodactylidae) in Caatinga biome, Brazil

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2022
The present study aimed to describe the infective larval stage of Physaloptera sp. parasitizing Leptodactylus macrosternum and the microscopic lesions of these larvae in the stomach wall. Forty-five specimens of L. macrosternum were collected during the rainy season in May 2018, in the municipality of Petrolina, sub-middle São Francisco region, state ...

[INFECTION OF BLOOD-SUCKING MOSQUITOES (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) WITH DIROFILARIAE (SPIRURIDA, ONCHOCERCIDAE) IN THE TULA REGION].

Meditsinskaia parazitologiia i parazitarnye bolezni, 2016
Blood-sucking mosquitoes (n = 2277) collected in Tula and its Region in 2013-2014 were examined using a PCR assay for dirofilariae. A total of 12 species from 4 genera (Culiseta, Aedes, Ochlerotatus [foreign character] Culex) out of 18 found mosquito species were infected with Dirofilaria immitis and D. repens. The proportion of the infected mosquitoes

Infection of the lesser spotted dogfish with Proleptus obtusus Dujardin, 845 (Nematoda: Spirurida) reflects ontogenetic feeding behaviour and seasonal differences in prey availability [PDF]

, 2017
Proleptus obtusus Dujardin, 1845 is the most common parasite infecting the gut of the lesser spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus\ud canicula, Linnaeus). This nematode is trophically transmitted from an intermediate crustacean host to the definitive elasmobranch\ud host.

First report of a Mephitidae (Mammalia: Carnivora) naturally infected by parasites of the genus Physaloptera (Rudolphi, 1918) (Spirurida: Physalopteridae)

Biotemas, 2015
Os animais silvestres podem ser considerados reservatórios de espécies de vários parasitos. A ocorrência de determinados agentes parasitários pode fornecer informações importantes sobre a ecologia e o comportamento do hospedeiro e suas relações tróficas.

First molecular detection of Dirofilaria immitis (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) infection in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Nematocera) from Brazil

Abstract Dirofilaria immitis is a filarioid worm transmitted by culicids, with relevance to human and veterinary health. The expansion of canine dirofilariasis in regions previously considered non-endemic in Brazil highlights the need for entomological studies.
