Echinostomes in Veterinary and Wildlife Parasitology

  • Chapter
Echinostomes as Experimental Models for Biological Research

Abstract

This chapter assesses the current status of research concerned with echinostomes in veterinary and wildlife parasitology. The pathology of echinostomiasis represents a complex and diverse set of reactions. The complexity is dependent on a wide variety of factors including, characteristics of echinostome species and the nature of the host’s response. The use of the rodent/domestic chick model has provided basic knowledge of echinostomiasis including its etiology, distribution, epizootiology, signs, diagnosis, treatment and control. This chapter deals with the subject of nutritional influences on parasite-host relationships along with the effects of crowding and concurrent infections in animal models. Through the use of animal models fertility and fecundity effects in animals infected with echinostomes can be applied to infection in wildlife and domestic animals. A partial list of echinostomes found in domestic, wild and experimental animals is given.
