Patterns in Size and Shedding of Fasciola hepatica Eggs by Naturally and Experimentally Infected Murid Rodents

2002

Using samples collected on the island of Corsica, a comparative study was done of the morphometry of Fasciola hepatica eggs shed by cattle and by naturally and experimentally infected murid rodents (wild Mus musculus and Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus Wistar laboratory strain). Eggs shed by murids are smaller in size than those shed by naturally infected cattle. A second study analyzed the number of F. hepatica eggs shed in murid feces at different time intervals, i.e., months, days, and 6-hr periods, by the Kato-Katz technique. Both experimentally and naturally infected black rats (R. rattus) were used, and Wistar rats were experimentally infected and included for comparison. The pres…

Fasciola hepatica development in the experimentally infected black rat Rattus rattus

1998

The finding of natural infection of Rattus rattus by Fasciola hepatica on Corsica has stimulated further research into the role of the black rat in the epidemiology of fascioliasis. Corsican black rats were experimentally individually infected with 20 metacercariae from cattle and murine isolates obtained from naturally infected bovines and black rats. The following results were obtained: (a) in R. rattus infected with the cattle isolate, normal adult fluke development took place and infection persisted for a long period, with emission of eggs showing embryogenic capacity; (b) the development of F. hepatica adults paralleled the ontogenetic trajectories observed in other rodent-F. hepatica …

1986

Description et differenciation de l’adulte de Hymenolepis cerberensis n. sp. (Cestoda : Hymenolepididae), parasite intestinal de la Musaraigne etrusque, Suncus etruscus (Savi, 1822) (Insectivora : Soricidae : Crocidurinae) capturee sur les communes de Banyuls-sur-Mer et Cerbere (Pyrenees-Orientales, France). La nouvelle espece est caracterisee par la taille des individus gravides et la presence de 18-21 crochets rostraux de 18,5-20 µm de longueur et de filaments autour de l’embryophore. La composition generale de la faune de Cyclophyllidea parasites de S. etruscus est analysee. Il s’agit de trois Hymenolepis peu specialises a scolex du meme type et d’un Pseudhymenolepis , avec absence d’esp…
