For the first time the data on helminths in piscivorous birds (the great cormorant and the Mongolian gull) in Mongolia were obtained. Surveys yielded 11 species (Cestoda--2, Trematoda--6, Nematoda--3). The cormorant hosted 5 helminth species, the herring gull--6 species.

The antiparasitic activity of the drupe extracts of Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) growing in Argentina was tested against a tapeworm and an earthworm, showing to be better against tapeworms than the standard piperazine phosphate, which is used in the treatment of Cestoda infections.

ABSTRACT Brazilian poultry production is growing, mainly due to the cost and benefit that chicken meat provides. The importance of free-range chickens susceptibility, which they are exposed, makes it necessary know about gastrointestinal parasites consequences large infections can cause for them as such weight loss. present study aimed determine occurrence in hens raised an extensive regime mun...

The aim of this work is to draw attention to the diversity and change of parasite number reported from marine and freshwater fish in Turkey. Comparisons were done among phlums Plathyhelminthes (Monogenea, Digenea, Cestoda), Nemathelminthes, Acanthocephala, Annelida (Hirudinea) according to years. Especially, platyhelminth species number from marine and freshwater fish of Turkey increased seriou...

Laboratory rats were subcutaneously vaccinated with 100 live tetrathyridia ot Mesocestoides corti (Cestoda) and subsequently intraperitoneally challenged with 50 tetrathyridia. Necropsy 30 days postintection revealed that vaccinated rats harbored 97.4% fewer worms compared to control rats. In a second experiment, passive transfer of immunity was accomplished by immune serum from subcutaneously ...

Nine species of gastrointestinal helminths were found in southern black-backed gulls (Larus dominicanus Lichstenstein, 1823) from Otago Peninsula. Eight of these, Parorchis acanthus, Echinostoma revolutum and Echinoparyphium recurvatum (Trematoda), Dildotaenia latovarium and Hymenolepis alaskensis (Cestoda), Sciadiocara tarapunga (Nematoda), and Profilicollis antarcticus and P. novaezelandensis...

Intestinal helminths are reported from four species of scincid lizards from southern Africa: Mabuya occidentalis, Mabuya spilogaster, Mabuya striata and Mabuya variegata. The helminth fauna consisted of one species of Cestoda, Oochoristica truncata and five species of Nematoda, Abbreviata paradoxa, Maxvachonia dimorpha, Parapharyngodon rotundatus, Spauligodon petersi and Thubunaea fitzsimonsi. ...
