Comparison of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid examination and other diagnostic techniques with the Baermann technique for detection of naturally occurring Aelurostrongylus abstrusus infection in cats.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid examination and other diagnostic techniques, compared with the use of the Baermann technique performed on fecal samples as the reference ... Read more...

Hatching behaviour of Nematodirus filicollis in a flock co-infected with Nematodirus battus.

28 Apr 2009 The development and survival of larvae of Nematodirus filicollis, an important nematode parasite of ruminants, were extensively investigated in the laboratory for the first time, using eggs harvested from sheep grazing in the UK in winter. ... Read more...

Occurrence of strongyles (Strongylidae) in horses from small farms on the basis of necropsy.

30 Dec 2008 Three parts of the large intestine, i.e. the dorsal and ventral colon, and caecum in 41 working horses from small farms in southern Poland were examined. Five species of large strongyles (3 migratory species from genus Strongylus and 2 non-migratory ... Read more...
