The zoonotic potential of Oesophagostomum bifurcum in Ghana. Epidemiological, morphological and genetic studies

bifurcum showed significant differences in morphological characters (including parasite length, maximum width, length of the oesophagus, and length of the spicules) between worms

Genetic substructuring within Oesophagoslomum bifurcum (Nematoda) from human and non-human primates from Ghana based on random amplification of polymorphic DNA analysis..

I would like to thank Lisette van Lieshout, Jaco Verweij, Eric Brienen and Coby Blotkamp, from the Diagnostics unit of the Department of Parasitology of Leiden University Medical

From 1999-2000 she conducted a research project on the genetics of Oesophagostomum bifurcum as part of her masters degree at the department of Veterinary Science, The University

Observations on Oesophagostomum bifurcum in non-human primates, a potential reservoir for human infection in Ghana.

Bestudering van het gedrag van de apen (met betrekking op voedselinname, defacatie, en fysiek contact met de lokale bevolking) leert dat de omstandigheden voor humane infecties

bifurcum was detected in the faeces from the Black-and-white colobus monkeys (Colobus vellerosus). Studies of the behaviour of the non-human primates, focusing on food

Aangezien genetische studies een steeds grotere rol spelen bij de identificatie en differentiatie van parasitaire nematoden, moeten er duidelijke regels komen voor de
