Monitoring of Echinococcus multilocularis infection in red foxes in Shiretoko, Japan, by coproantigen detection.
The study was conducted to evaluate a mAb-based coproantigen detection assay for monitoring fox prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis infections in the Shiretoko National Park in Hokkaido, Japan. Eight fox families, each consisting of 2-4 adults and their pups, were selected because their territories have been determined. Faeces of each family (total n = 537) were collected monthly from Apr...
متن کاملInfection of red foxes with Echinococcus multilocularis in western Switzerland.

The Jura mountains and the Plateau had higher mean prevalence levels than the Alps with 30.6, 32.4 and 18.8%, respectively. The highest rate was recorded in the Plateau in the canto...

Although the researchers used multiple probes for C. botulinum, we doubt that this approach is suitable for this orga...
متن کاملEchinococcus multilocularis coproantigen detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in fox, dog, and cat populations.
A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of Echinococcus multilocularis coproantigens (EM-ELISA) was developed with polyclonal rabbit (solid phase) and chicken egg (catching) antibodies that were directed against E. multilocularis coproantigens and somatic worm antigens, respectively. In experimentally infected dogs and cats, coproantigens were first detectable 6-1...
متن کاملWestward Spread of Echinococcus multilocularis in Foxes, France, 2005–2010
During 2005-2010, we investigated Echinococcus multilocularis infection within fox populations in a large area in France. The parasite is much more widely distributed than hitherto thought, spreading west, with a much higher prevalence than previously reported. The parasite also is present in the large conurbation of Paris.
