Geographical distribution of the giant liver fluke (Fascioloides magna) in the Czech Republic and potential risk of its further spread
The giant liver fluke, Fascioloides magna, is of interest to wild-life managers, veterinarians and researchers, due to its unusual body size (3–10 cm), high pathogenic potential and because it is continuously spreading to new areas, especially in Europe. Annually, the number of cases of animal infections (mainly cervids and bovids) caused by this fluke is monitored in many European countries, i...
متن کاملExtension of occurrence area of the American fluke Fascioloides magna in south-western Poland.
Liver fluke Fascioloides magna is a typical parasite of American cervids. The reason for F. magna to appear in Poland territory was bringing the American wapiti deer to those forests around 1850. Along with these deer the aforementioned fluke was also introduced. The aim of this study was to present the case of finding of this species in cervids in Bory Zielonogórskie.

متن کاملThe role of hepatic myofibroblasts in liver cirrhosis in fallow deer (Dama dama) naturally infected with giant liver fluke (Fascioloides magna)
BACKGROUND This paper describes liver cirrhosis in 35 fallow deer infected with the giant liver fluke, as well as the distribution, origin, and role of myofibroblasts in its development. RESULTS In liver of infected deer, stripes of connective tissue are wound around groups of degenerated and regenerated liver lobuli. In the connective tissue, lymphocytes and macrophages which often contain p...
متن کاملGenetic relatedness of North American populations of Tomicus piniperda (Coleoptera:Scolytidae).
We used DNA fingerprinting by random amplified polymorphic (RAPD) DNA and electrophoretic characterization of esterase isozymes to investigate the genetic relatedness of North American populations of the exotic bark beetle Tomicus piniperda (L.). Cluster analyses of genetic distances among populations identified the Illinois population as an outlier population with mean genetic distances to oth...
متن کاملFirst report of Fascioloides magna (Bassi, 1875) in South Africa.
Fascioloides magna from a Brahman heifer recently imported from the USA is recorded for the first time in South Africa. The pathological findings are briefly described. The possibility of this parasite becoming established in this country is also discussed.
