Intermediate hosts of multilocularis hydatyd disease

First identification of Echinococcus multilocularis in rodent intermediate hosts in Sweden.

Echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonotic tapeworm with a sylvatic lifecycle and an expanding range in Europe. Monitoring efforts following its first identification in 2011 in Sweden have focused on the parasite's definitive host, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). However, identifying rodent intermediate hosts is important to recognize opportunities for parasite transmission. During 2013-2015, liver...

Comparative development of Echinococcus multilocularis in its definitive hosts.

The comparative development of Echinococcus multilocularis was studied in its definitive hosts, the fox, dog, cat and raccoon dog, beyond the pre-patent period to 90 days post-infection. All host species, apart from cats were susceptible to infection and capable of supporting substantial worm burdens. Although worms in cats matured and produced thick-shelled eggs, their overall development was ...

Influence of latent toxoplasmosis on the phenotype of intermediate hosts.

The influence of latent toxoplasmosis on the phenotype , especially on the behaviour, of intermediate hosts has been intensively studied since the mid-1990s. The number of papers dealing with this topic that can be found in the Web of Knowledge SM by using the combination of terms toxoplasm* AND (behavi* OR psychol* OR per-sonalit* OR psychiatri* OR schizophr*) is rapidly in-Most of these paper...
