Prevalence, Infection Intensity and Molecular Diagnosis of Mixed Infections with spp. (Metastrongylidae) in Wild Boars in Uzbekistan.

The aim of the present study was to characterize the diversity of spp. in wild boars and the earthworm intermediate host species contributing to the maintenance of the life cycle. Here, wild boars were subjected to parasitological necropsies, and lungworm species were identified morphologically, followed by confirmation using ITS-2 sequencing and a phylogenetic analysis.

Morphological and ecological features of some nematodes of the genus in marinka obtained from Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan.

The aim is to study the morphological and ecological features of some nematode species of the genus parasites of marinka fish in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan. and were detected as 5.3%, 7.

Molecular analysis of polymorphic species of the genus Marshallagia (Nematoda: Ostertagiinae).

Background: The genus Marshallagia (Family Haemonchidae, subfamily Ostertagiinae) contains multiple species of nematodes parasitising the abomasum (or duodenum) of ruminants, in particular of Caprinae. Male specimens have been described to be polymorphic with the frequent/major morphotype initially described in the genus Marshallagia while the minor/rare morphotype was initially often placed in the genus Grossospicularia. Due to common morphological features, certain pairs of morphotypes were suggested to belong to the same species such as Marshallagia marshalli/M.

Infection levels of protostrongylid nematodes in definitive caprine and intermediate gastropod hosts from Uzbekistan.

Morphological analysis of lungworms collected among Caprinae from Uzbekistan resulted in the identification of four species of Protostrongylidae: Protostrongylus rufescens, Protostrongylus hobmaieri, Spiculocaulus leuckarti and Cystocaulus ocreatus. The following species were recorded as definitive hosts: Ovis aries, Ovis ammon, Ovis vignei, Capra hircus, Capra falconeri and Capra sibirica. The prevalence of P.

Molecular phylogeny and diagnosis of species of the family Protostrongylidae from caprine hosts in Uzbekistan.

Protostrongylids are important pulmonary parasites of ungulates, particularly caprines. Their complex life cycles involve terrestrian gastropods as intermediate hosts. Morphological discrimination of larvae in feces and snails is impossible to the species level, and molecular data are missing for many species.
