Trichinella britovi infection and muscle distribution in free-living martens (Martes spp.) from the Głęboki Bród Forest District, Poland

Strayed dogs sentinels of Trichinella britovi infection in Kosovo

Trichinellosis is one of the most widespread parasitic zoonoses in the world. Over the past decade, Eastern Europe has experienced a re-emergence of trichinellosis, connected with the social, political and economic changes of the 1990s. A high prevalence of Trichinella infection in domestic animals and in humans has been reported in Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Romania and Croatia (Cuperlov...

Monitoring European pine martens (Martes martes) in Scottish forested landscapes

Trichinella according to their geographical distribution and biological, morphological and biochemical characteristics: Trichinella spiralis; Trichinella nativa; Trichinella britovi; Trichinella pseudospiralis; Trichinella murrelli; Trichinella nelsoni; Trichinella papuae;

The first outbreak of human trichinellosis in China,according to official national publication,was registered in Tibet in 1964. Since then,more than 500 outbreaks, numbering 25 161 cases with 240 deaths, have been recorded.However, this reported quantity is probably highly underestimated because adequate diagnostic techniques might not have been available in the whole area.Moreover, infection i...

Ketamine and midazolam anesthesia in Pacific martens (Martes caurina).

Abstract The use of midazolam as a tranquilizer for anesthesia in mustelids in conjunction with the cyclohexamine ketamine is not well documented. Because midazolam is fast acting, inexpensive, and quickly metabolized, it may serve as a good alternative to other more commonly used tranquilizers. We trapped and anesthetized 27 Pacific martens (Martes caurina) in Lassen National Forest (northern ...

Comparison of IgM, IgG1 and IgG2 responses to Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella britovi in swine.

Pigs infected with T. spiralis and T. britovi were followed by double (IgG) and triple antibody ELISA (IgG1, IgG2 and IgM) during a 12-week-period. Specific IgG and IgG1 responses were similar and showed a significant relation with the infecting doses and intensity of infection. Response to T. britovi was slightly lower than in groups infected with the same dose of T. spiralis. IgG2 response wa...
