Helminth parasites were collected from 2 bushbuck, Tragelaphus scriptus, 2 red duiker, Cephalophus natalensis, 1 oribi, Ourebia ourebi, and 4 reedbuck, Redunca arundinum, that died or were culled in various parts of Natal. One trematode genus, 1 cestode genus and 12 nematode species were recovered. Haemonchus contortus. Ostertagia harrisi, Trichostrongylus capricola, Trichostrongylus vitrinus, ...

BACKGROUND Infection with Trichostrongylus spp. is common among human and herbivorous in most parts of Iran, especially in southern and northern areas. The aim of present study was to identify Trichostrongylus spp. among human population using excreted egg specimens, by the molecular method, in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran. METHODS Overall, 33 positive fecal specimens were randomly samp...

The present study was performed to analyze molecularly the phylogenetic positions of human-infecting Trichostrongylus species in Mazandaran Province, Iran, which is an endemic area for trichostrongyliasis. DNA from 7 Trichostrongylus infected stool samples were extracted by using in-house (IH) method. PCR amplification of ITS2-rDNA region was performed, and products were sequenced. Phylogenetic...

The change of name of a human parasite is not a matter which is likely to provoke much enthusiasm in the minds of most medical men. 1 hope, however, that, for members of the Indian .Medical Service, there may be, in the present instance, at least some compensating satisfaction in the feeling that there is, as I hope to show, definite proof that the correct name of the parasite, at present known...

Trichostrongylus eggs observed in cellophane-thick smears are difficult, in practice, to distinguish from hookworm eggs. In order to overcome these limitations, a molecular approach was conducted. A Trichostrongylus colubriformis adult worm was obtained from a human in Laos, which was identified morphologically. ITS-1 sequence of this worm was determined, and found to be most similar with that ...

This study aimed to identify the parasites that inhabit the digestive system of Sus scrofa scrofa from a commercial breeding facility in southern Brazil, and reports the first occurrence of Trichostrongylus colubriformis in wild boars. The gastrointestinal tracts of 40 wild boars from a commercial breeding facility were collected and individualized during slaughter in a cold-storage slaughterho...

Worm-free Merino yearlings were dosed with either a mixture of infective larvae of Trichostrongylus axei and Ostertagia circumcincta or with O. circumcincta only, and challenged 90-93 days later with infective larvae of Haemonchus contortus. Neither of these methods protected sheep against challenged and slight protection was afforded sheep predosed with T. axei and O. circumcincta and challeng...
