Dictyocaulosis is a parasitic disease caused by pulmonary nematodes from genus Dictyocaulus affecting various ungulate hosts. It can cause verminous bronchopneumonia and for heavily infected individuals, fatal outcomes can occur.
The study describes the case of a male European bison which died three months after relocation from Slovakia to one of the reintroduction areas in Nucșoara village, Făgăraș Mountains, Romania. Necropsy revealed the presence of pulmonary nematodes in the respiratory tract. Morphology and molecular diagnosis was performed and Dictyocaulus viviparus was identified.
Rigorous health monitoring is essential to assure the success of reintroduction programs, understanding and preventing infectious diseases and limiting their impact on population health.
网尾线虫病是一种由肺线虫属的寄生虫引起的寄生虫病,影响各种有蹄类宿主。它可引起虫性支气管肺炎,对于感染严重的个体,可能会导致致命后果。
本研究描述了一只雄性欧洲野牛的病例,该野牛从斯洛伐克迁至罗马尼亚福格拉什山脉努克绍拉村的一个重新引入区三个月后死亡。剖检显示呼吸道中有肺线虫。进行了形态学和分子诊断,鉴定为网尾线虫。
严格的健康监测对于确保重新引入计划的成功、了解和预防传染病以及限制其对种群健康的影响至关重要。
