mesenteric lymph nodes infection with linguatula serrata nymphs in cattle
Authors
abstract
871 mesenteric lymph nodes taken from 110 native cattle from urmia slaughter-house with differentages were examined for linguatula serrata infection. the lymph nodes were studied based on their colourand consistency. 44% of the cattle were found positive for l. serrata infection. the number of parasitesisolated from each infected lymph node varied from 1 to 69 with a mean of 5.48. there were no significantdifferences in the number of parasites in different age groups. the study underlined the need for a morethorough investigation of mesenteric lymph nodes inspection in the cattle of this region.

BACKGROUND Linguatula serrata, one of the parasitic zoonoses, inhabits the canine respiratory system (final hosts). The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of L. serrata nymphs in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) of cattle and buffaloes (intermediate hosts) that were processed in the Ahvaz, Iran abattoir. METHODS During November 2010 to March 2011, 223 animals (119 cattl...
