Abstract:This present study is the first case of a Porrocaecum angusticolle (P. angusticolle) infection reported in Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) in China. This study aimed to identify the nematode species and explore the genetic evolution of worms infecting Gyps fulvus (G.fulvus). Clinical examination revealed several milky white parasites in the stomach and intestinal tract. Polymerase chain reaction and partial 18S gene sequencing analyses identified these worms to be P. angusticolle (SD isolates). Further phylogene… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
