The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in raccoons with particular regard to zoonotic parasites. Fifty-five raccoons, hunted or found dead on roads, were examined. The small and large intestines were collected from all raccoons and, additionally, the stomach was collected from 43 animals. The samples were examined with the use of sedimentation and counting...
The aim of the study was to optimise selected PCR methods for identification of T. solium, and to compare their effectiveness and usefulness. The investigation concerned three PCR methods described earlier: PCR I (specific to oncosphere- specific protein Tso31 gene), PCR II (specific to large subunit rRNA gene), and PCR III (cytochrome c oxidases ubunit 1 gene). Each of them needed optimisation in...
In Germany and Poland, the high population density of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is considered a public health risk since this wild canid is one of the main reservoirs of Trichinella spp. In 2010 in Poland, a program to monitor the prevalence of Trichinella spp. in the red fox population was launched. After two years, Trichinella spp. larvae were detected in 44 (2.7%) out of 1634 foxes tested. In...
Dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria repens nematodes is a parasitosis occurring in dogs, cats and wild carnivores in southern Europe. In Poland it was found for the first time in 2009 in dogs in the Mazovian Province. The nematodes of that species are mostly found in nodules located in the subcutaneous connective tissue or intramuscular connective tissue of the trunk and legs. The aim of this paper...
The aim of the study was to estimate the effectiveness of intestinal scraping technique (1ST) in the detection of Echinococcus multilocularis. The experimental assessment of the limit of detection and comparison with "gold standard" (sedimentation and counting technique - SCT) was also performed. Samples of fox small intestines experimentally enriched with known numbers of E. multilocularis...
This article presents the essential stages leading to development of a modified method for Hypoderma bovis protein transfer, and estimation of the usefulness of semi-quantitative densitometric analysis of western-blottig results. The principal of the method was to incubate the gel obtained with the native electrophoresis method in buffer containing SDS prior to transfer of the separated proteins of...
The aim of presented investigation was to estimate the usefulness of a new method for determining the efficiency of acaricides against red poultry mites. The special Plexiglas plates were used in order to imitate natural conditions as close as possible. The investigation was conducted on the mites collected from 32 battery cage farms of laying hens. Nine commercial acaricides were used. The efficacy...
Investigation was carried out on red poultry mites Dermanyssus gallinae collected from 32 batten- cage farms of laying hens localised in 14 voivodships. The following insecticides were used: Alfasekt (α-cypermetrin), Blaxime (phoxim), ByeMite (phoxim), Ficam (bendiokarb), Galtox B (fenitrotion, dichlorphos, α-cypermetrin), Knox-out (diazinon - microcapsule form), Master (chlorpyrifos - microcapsule...
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and the intensity of E. multilocularis infection in red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes) in the Świętokrzyskie and Lubelskie Provinces (Poland), taking into consideration the distribution of these parasites within the small intestine. One hundred and eleven samples of the small intestine from Świętokrzyskie and 242 from Lubelskie Provinces were examined by...
