Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: carnivores, echinococcosis, Echinococcus multilocularis Search subject for Echinococcus multilocularis, foxes, intestines, jackals, monitoring, parasites, Rabies, Serbia, Southern European region @article{article, Foxes and jackals from the Vojvodina Province of Serbia were examined for the presence of echinococcosis. Animals were collected as part of routine rabies monitoring and autopsied; their intestines were checked for parasites. Out of 112 examined foxes, echinococcosis was found in 20 (17.9 %); of 28 examined jackals, 4 were infected (14.3 %). Morphological analysis confirmed the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis. This is the first record of E. multilocularis in foxes or other carnivorous mammals in Serbia. | |

Simin, Verica; Lalošević, Vesna; Galfi, Annamaria; Božić, Milovan; Obradović, Nemanja; Lalošević, Dušan Crenosoma vulpis (Dujardin 1844) (Nematoda, Crenosomatidae) in foxes in Vojvodina Province, Serbia Journal Article In: BiologiaSerbica, vol. 34, no. 1-2, pp. 71-74, 2012. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Crenosoma vulpis, foxes, prevalence, Serbia, Vojvodina @article{article, Crenosoma vulpis is a lung worm which aff ects carnivorous mammals. Data on the presence of C. vulpis in foxes in Serbia is lacking. In the present study, C. vulpis was found in the fox population of Vojvodina province, Serbia, during the course of examinations for Eucoleus aerophilus. Foxes were collected throughout Vojvodina province: most of the foxes had either been previously suspected of rabies or regularly shot in 2011. carcasses were opened and tracheas were taken from larynx to bifurcation, and preserved in 30% ethanol for later examination. For the purpose of examination, the tracheas were opened on the anterior side using scissors. parasites were collected under a stereomicroscope by scraping of mucosa and wet-mounted in glycerin-ethanol or lactophenol. Crenosoma vulpis was found in 5 out of 38 foxes, for a prevalence rate of 13.15%. a total of 8 male, 15 female and 45 larvae was found. cohabitation of foxes with stray dogs and cats may be a potential source of parasite transmission in urban environments. |
