Reservoir hosts for Gyrodactylus salaris may play a more significant role in epidemics than previously thought
... Existing UK dispersion models [29] and management plans for the containment of G. salaris are based on the assumption that in the worst-case scenario, British stocks of S. salar would be vulnerable to G. salaris and ...

Serological and PCR investigation of Yersinia pestis in potential reservoir hosts from a plague outbreak focus in Zambia
... Results: A total of 369 blood samples were collected from domestic carnivores, shrews and domestic and peri- domestic rodents while 199 organs were collected from the rodents and shrews. Blood samples were tested for ...

Transmission, reservoir hosts and control of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis
... transmission is thus focused on vector control and, in some areas, culling of infected dogs ; there is cur- rently no vaccine, and treatment of infected dogs is not usually curative (Baneth and Shaw, 2002). How- ever, ...

Plasmodium knowlesi : reservoir hosts and tracking the emergence in humans and macaques
... human hosts, taken together with previous epidemiological [1,3,14] and entomological data [30,31], strongly indicate that knowlesi malaria is a zoonosis in the Kapit Division and that wild macaques are the ...

Development and evaluation of a duplex TaqMan qPCR assay for detection and quantification of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in domestic and sylvatic reservoir hosts
... mammalian reservoir species may affect amplifica- tion accuracy, making it difficult to compare prevalence of infection among different species within a same area under study and/or between different geographical ...

Trypanosoma cruzi transmission in the wild and its most important reservoir hosts in Brazil
... Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastea: Trypanosomatidae) infects all tissues of its hosts, which along with humans, include hundreds of mammalian species in the Americas. The epidemiology of T. cruzi has been changing ...

Identifying host species driving transmission of schistosomiasis japonica, a multihost parasite system, in China
... The study results are subject to limitations relating to the sim- plifying assumptions of the model, which are discussed in Materials and Methods. For example, we assumed that the probability of a single parasite egg ...

Differential spirochetal infectivities to vector ticks of mice chronically infected by the agent of Lyme disease
... The mechanisms that affect spirochetal infectivity to ticks remain elusive. A host-derived anti-tick immune response (11, 12, 46) may affect infectivity by inhibiting the feeding of the attached ticks. Our observations, ...
