Acute schistosomiasis in a cluster of travelers from Rwanda: diagnostic contribution of schistosome DNA detection in serum compared to parasitology and serology Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background. Diagnosis of acute schistosomiasis is often elusive in travelers. Serum schistosome DNA detection is a promising new diagnostic tool. Its performance is compared with current diagnostic procedures in a cluster of travelers recently infected in Rwanda. Methods. Recent infection with schistosomiasis was suspected in 13 Belgian children and adults, within 2 months after swimming in the Muhazi Lake, Rwanda. All were subjected to clinical ...
World association for the advancement of veterinary parasitology (WAAVP) guideline for the evaluation of the efficacy of anthelmintics in food-producing and companion animals : general guidelines Universiteit Gent
The general WAAVP (World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology) guideline on anthelmintic efficacy were prepared to assist researchers with the planning, conduct and interpretation of studies to assess the efficacy of anthelmintic drugs in food-producing and companion animals. General principles are outlined herein to assist in the preparation and execution of dosage determination, dosage confirmation and field studies, ...
Cichlids: a host of opportunities for evolutionary parasitology KU Leuven
Thanks to high species diversity and a broad range of speciation mechanisms, cichlid fishes represent a textbook model in evolutionary biology. They are also of substantial economic value. Despite this importance, cichlid parasites remain understudied, although some are more diverse than their hosts. They may offer important insights into cichlid evolution and the evolution of host-parasite interactions. We review five major lines of research ...
History of fish parasitology in Africa Universiteit Hasselt
The rivers and lakes of Africa contain almost 25% of the world’s 13,000 freshwater fish species and are second only to South America in species richness. These fish are parasitised by a wide range of organisms that can be detrimental to both farmed and wild fishes with consequent effects on economic development, and often on human health. Knowledge of these parasites in African freshwater fishes is limited and this book is intended to promote ...
