A survey of gastrointestinal helminth communities of Gallotia caesaris caesaris (Lehrs, 1914) and G. c. gomerae (Boettger and MUller, 1914), from the islands of El Hierro and La Gomera, respectively, in the Canary Archipelago, Spain, was conducted to determine the prevalence, intensity, and diversity of intestinal parasites of these lacertid lizards. Larval forms of cestodes, nematodes, and aca...

Eight species of gastrointestinal helminths were obtained from the red-billed gull (Larus novaehollandiae scopulinus Forster, 1844) from Otago Peninsula, of which six were new host records. One of these, Maritrema novaezelandensis (Trematoda), was a species new to science which is being described elsewhere; the other five were Curtuteria australis (Trematoda), Echinoparyphium recurvatum (Tremat...

The three main soil-transmitted helminth infections, ascariasis, trichuriasis, and hookworm, are common clinical disorders in man. The gastrointestinal tract of a child living in poverty in a less developed country is likely to be parasitised with at least one, and in many cases all three soil-transmitted helminths, with resultant impairments in physical, intellectual, and cognitive development...

Two helminth communities, comprising seven species in Ochotona princeps and five in O. collaris, were studied for site specificity and interspecific interactions. There were no cases of competitive exclusion, but four species pairs were found concurrently more often than by chance, possibly due to similarities in life cycles. One case of interactive site segregation was demonstrated. There was ...

The total poultry production of Ethiopia is estimated at 56.5 million [9], of which about 99% are raised under the traditional backyard system of management, while 1% are exotic breeds maintained under intensive management system [2]. The backyard (traditional) poultry production system is characterized by low input, low out put and periodic destruction of large proportion of the flock due to d...

The successful use of helminths as therapeutic agents to resolve inflammatory disease was first recorded 40 years ago. Subsequent work in animal models and in humans has demonstrated that the organisms might effectively treat a wide range of inflammatory diseases, including allergies, autoimmune disorders and inflammation-associated neuropsychiatric disorders. However, available information reg...

Aim: To discuss about the specific characteristics of intestinal parasitic infection that contributes to formation stunting.
 Discussion: Intestinal parasites (IPI) are one global utmost health dilemmas, because they put certain vulnerable member population, e.g., children, in danger. Global prevalence rate IPI varied from 30-60%, especially developing countries located within region tropi...

The production of environmentally friendly livestock products is currently receiving much attention, especially in the European Union. problem monitoring quality and safety meat milk modern conditions relevant not only for Ukraine but also world community. scientific substantiation methods research on sale subject to invasive diseases important, as product may pose risks consumer. One criteria ...

The prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites and the gross pathological lesions produced by them in different types of poultry were studied from March 2005 to March 2006, in the Department of Parasitology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. In this study, 240 viscera of three types of poultry such as broiler, layer and backyard indigenous chickens were collected from local...

A total of 763 fecal samples were collected from dogs in Western Pomerania during 2006-2007 to determine the gastrointestinal parasite fauna of dogs in this region. In the city of Szczecin, 648 fecal samples were collected every month in the annual cycle from nine city areas and analysed. Six fecal samples were taken at each collection time from each site. A total of 115 fecal samples from rura...
