Social behavioral factors associated with Clonorchis infection are needed for control measures. The population in Nga Tan commune were randomly sampled and questioned to determine knowledge, perception, and health behavioral factors associated with Clonorchis infection among heads of households. The cellophane thick smear method was applied to examine their stool samples. Seven hundred and seve...

Fashuyi S. A., G. O. Adeoye: The Possible Snail Intermediate Hosts of Dicrocoelium hospes in Nigeria. Acta vet. Brno, 55, 1986: 85 -88. Limicolaria /lammea. L. striatula and Lamellaxis gracilis were experimentally infected with larval stages of Dicrocoelium hospes after exposure to embryonated eggs. Limicolaria proved to be more suitable, showing higher infection rates, more mature cercariae an...

The electron paramagnetic resonance properties of the nitric oxide derivative of liver fluke (Dicrocoelium dendriticum) hemoglobin (DD-Hb) have been investigated in the pH range from 4.8 to 7.8. In the neutral and alkaline regions the spectra have a rhombic shape, with gx = 2.09, gy = 1.99 and gz = 2.009, and a triplet hyperfine structure of 2.2 mT, due to the nitrogen of the bound NO molecule,...

N e s v a d b a J . : Dicrocoeliosis in Cats and Dogs. Acta Vet. Brno 2006, 75: 289-293. This paper is the first report of clinical cases of dicrocoeliosis in cats and dogs. In cats, symptoms manifested as inappetence, diarrhoea, loss of weight, changes of hair coat, and, in particular, conjunctivitis with mucoserous discharge and prolapse of the third eyelid. In dogs, clinical symptoms manifes...

a case who was suffering from abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea refered to isfahan health training and research center, institute of public health. current treatments for chronic diarrhea incloding a traial of gluten fre diet were performed but these were not effective because he was infected by dicrocoelium dentriticum. then he was cured with parasitic treatment.

Infection with Dicrocoelium dendriticum in humans is rarely reported in the medical literature. This liver fluke, which commonly infects ruminants, has a complex life cycle with two intermediate hosts--the land snail and the ant. True human infection occurs by ingestion of the second intermediate host, but spurious infections have occurred after consumption of undercooked animal liver. The pres...

A multiple regression model was used to analyse if the structure of vegetation and soil patches in grazed units (pastures) can be used as explanatory variables to predict the prevalence of Dicrocoelium dendriticum, a common parasite of cattle and sheep, in grazing cattle stocks on the Baltic island of Öland in southern Sweden. The scale dependency was evaluated by comparing three levels of spat...

BACKGROUND We investigated the variations of heamathologic and biochemical parameters with different parasitic burdens and the correlation between fecal egg counts and fluke number in livers of sheep naturally infected with Dicrocoelium dendriticum. METHODS In order to detect excretion of D. dendriticum eggs, fecal samples from 120 sheep of different age groups were collected individually at ...
