The cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis, a fatal zoonotic parasitic disease northern hemisphere. Red foxes are main reservoir hosts and, likely, drivers geographic spread in Europe. Knowledge genetic relationships among E. isolates at European scale key to understanding dispersal characteristics multilocularis. Hence, present study aimed describe diversity obtained from different host species 19 countries. Based on analysis complete...
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is widely distributed in the world; central Europe, it most numerous wild species of family Canidae. It can play role a definitive host for many intestinal parasites, including zoonotic helminths. Poland, with its geographical location (central Europe), an interesting area parasitological investigations this species. aim study was to evaluate and compare prevalence helminths foxes different regions Poland.Intestines 473 from four were examined using sedimentation...
The aim of the study was to determine prevalence Echinococcus multilocularis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) Poland. Overall, 1,546 intestinal samples from 15 16 provinces Poland were examined by sedimentation and counting technique (SCT). mean E. 16.5% found 14 provinces. intensity infection 2,807 tapeworms per intestine. Distinct differences observed between regions. In some eastern southern Poland, level 50.0% (Warmińsko-Mazurskie), 47.2% (Podkarpackie), 30.4% (Podlaskie) 28.6%...
Coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis are among the most common diseases affecting poultry, with economic impact due to reduced production costs of treatment prevention. Eimeria invasion contributes gut damage that promotes growth other harmful pathogens, such as Clostridium perfringens. Coccidiostats, toltrazuril an example, widely used control these infections. In this study, we assessed effects spp. infection coinfection perfringens on chicken weight concentrations, along two...
Abstract Background Toxoplasma gondii infection may pose a severe medical problem especially in congenital form and as an acquired immunocompromised persons. Raw undercooked meat of slaughtered animals is regarded important source parasite infection; however, data concerning this issue Poland are still insufficient. The aim study was to estimate the prevalence T. pigs cattle for human consumption using serological molecular methods. Methods Sera 3111 2411 from 16 regions (voivodeships)...
Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite prevalent in animals and humans worldwide having medical veterinary importance on account of causing abortion or congenital disease intermediate hosts, including man. Since T. has already been identified the milk goats, Capra aegagrus hircus (Linnaeus), possibility acquiring infection by ingesting unpasteurised goat should be taken into consideration. Thus, aim present study was to determine...
Raw and undercooked meat are regarded as important sources of Toxoplasma gondii infection people in Europe; however, data concerning this issue Poland still insufficient. The aim study was to determine the prevalence T. DNA isolated from raw products retailed Poland. molecular characteristics detected were also performed. Samples cured bacon, or smoked sausages, ham, minced examined for presence DNA. digested by pepsin solution, followed isolation. Nested real-time polymerase chain reaction...
Alveolar echinococcosis is a dangerous zoonotic disease caused by larval forms of Echinococcus multilocularis. In its life-cycle, the principal definitive host red fox; however, domesticated carnivorous animals (dogs and cats) can also act as hosts. Until now, there were no data concerning this infection in cats Poland. The aim study was to estimate prevalence E. multilocularis dogs originating from rural areas animal shelters region characterised high foxes.Samples faeces collected 67 268...
The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic diversity cestode Echinococcus multilocularis Leuckart, 1863 in Poland based on sequence analysis mitochondrial genes worms isolated from red foxes, Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus).Overall, 83 adults E. same number foxes different parts were used for analysis.Sequences three genes, cytochrome b (cob), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (nad2) and c oxidase 1 (cox1), analysed.Seventy-four individual biological samples successfully sequenced.Combined...
is a protozoan parasite that has been traditionally identified as cause of reproductive tract disease in cattle and gastrointestinal infection cats. Moreover,
Anisakis simplex, Pseudoterranova decipiens, and Contracaecum osculatum third-stage larvae (L3) are fish-borne nematodes that can cause human anisakidosis. Although A. simplex is a known source of allergens, knowledge about the allergic potential P. decipiens C. limited. Therefore, we performed comparative proteomic profiling L3 using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. In total, 645, 397, 261 proteins were detected in larvae, respectively. Western blot analysis confirmed...
Abstract Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are severe zoonotic diseases characterized by long asymptomatic periods lasting months or years. Viable Echinococcus eggs released into the environment through feces of canids can infect humans accidental ingestion via hand-to-mouth contact consumption contaminated food water. Both multilocularis granulosus sensu lato considered as foodborne parasites. However, when considering possible pathways human infection, it appears that water-borne related...
Protozoa of the genus Sarcocystis (phylum Apicomplexa, family Sarcocystidae) is one most common parasites affecting animals. Interspecies diagnostic was based on electron microscopy for many years. Because absence visible differences between species with reachable magnifications, light useless. In cases serological method have lack sensitivity. A variety molecular methods been developed and used to detect identify spp. assess genetic diversity among this protozoan from different...
Hunting in Poland has a long tradition and became more popular after 1990. Each year over 60,000 wild boar are hunted. Some of them may act as Trichinella carriers thus all carcasses systematically sampled game-handling establishments part the post-mortem examination. The aim study was to determine species evaluate differences occurrence those populations Poland. Samples for were provided by Veterinary Inspection Service. Wild examined using digestion method. Only samples recognized positive...
