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...

The transmission, control and the relationship between Dicrocoelium dendriticum and its definitive (sheep and cattle) and intermediate (molluscs and ants) hosts under natural and experimental conditions are described. Eleven species of molluscs and four of ants were found infected with larval D. dendriticum in León province, north-west Spain. Infected ants were observed between April and Novemb...

Lancet liver flukes of the genus Dicrocoelium (Trematoda: Digenea) are recognised parasites domestic and wild herbivores. The aim present study was to confirm species identity Dicrocoeliid collected from Chitral valley in Himalayan ranges Pakistan. morphology 48 belonging eight host populations examined; but overlapping traits prevented accurate designation. Phylogenetic comparison published D....

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of trematodes and cestodoses in slaughtered sheep from the region of Sarajevo. The study was carried out on a total of 699 indigenous sheep of pramenka breed, of various sex and age. After parasitological section, visual examination and palpation of the liver, the prevalence rate of Fasciola hepatica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, hydatid cysts ...

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,...

Previous surveys of wild ungulates indicate that the liver fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, was rare in the Cypress Hills area of southeastern Alberta. However, 41 of 59 wapiti (Cervus elaphus) sampled during the 2003 and 2004 hunting seasons from this region were infected, with 7 hosts containing >1,000 worms. Prevalence and mean intensity were similarly high in sympatric beef cattle and mule ...
