spp. in German wildlife: Detection, regional occurrence and diversity in wild boar, roe, red and fallow deer.

is a cause of diarrheal infections responsible for a loss of human and animal welfare worldwide. The impact of the parasite is underestimated and the reported sources of infection are diverse, as it occurs in a wide variety of hosts. Wildlife has been reported as a notifiable source, but few studies are available on its occurrence in European wild boar and cervid species.

Comparison of Direct and Indirect Detection and Genotyping in Game: Relationship and Challenges.

The importance of game as a source of () infection in humans is largely unknown. New data on the presence of in game hunted in the Federal State of Brandenburg, Germany, were obtained by direct and indirect detection (ELISA). DNA extracted either directly (5 g heart or foreleg muscle, DE) or after acid pepsin digestion (50 g heart, PD) or enriched by magnetic capture (50 g heart, MC) was examined by real-time PCR (qPCR).
