Disease Reservoirs - Parasitology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Disease Reservoirs'Animate or inanimate sources which normally harbor disease-causing organisms and thus serve as potential sources of disease outbreaks. Reservoirs are distinguished from vectors (DISEASE VECTORS) and carriers, which are agents of disease transmission rather than continuing sources of potential disease outbreaks.

INTRODUCTION: Light microscopy examination of blood slides is the main method of detecting malaria infection; however, it has limited sensitivity. Low-density infections are most likely to be missed, but they contribute to the infectious reservoir. ... Read more...
Echinococcus oligarthrus cystic hydatidosis in Brazilian agouti (Dasyprocta leporina).
30 Aug 2009 Echinococcus oligarthrus hydatid cyst disease was diagnosed in two imported wild-caught Brazilian agouti (Dasyprocta leporina). The cysts were found incidentally during routine examinations and never appeared to cause any apparent clinical signs. ... Read more...
Biological risks associated with consumption of reptile products.
