PARASITIC ZOONOSES IN PRESENT DAY EUROPE, BELGRADE,18-20th November 2009. |
|
 
The SERBPARZOON project is hosting an international scientific conference in Belgrade focusing on the parasitic zoonoses of major significance in South-East Europe. The conference brings together some of the most distinguished experts from the EU and the region with the project personnel as well as Serbian profesionals in the field. Scientific program , consisting of both state-of the- art-lectures on particular issues and presentations of current epidemiological and epizootiological data, provides valuable insight into the current status of these diseases in Europe and particularly in its South East,as well as serves as a networking forum to create new and enhance existing partnerships, in the view of further scientific cooperation at higher levels.

MOST UPDATED INFORMATIONF FROM AN EXPERT
Domenico Otranto,Dip[artimento di Sanita publica e Zootecnia, Facolta di Medicina Veterinaria, Universita di Bari
The genus Thelazia (Spirurida, Thelaziidae) includes 16 species of nematode parasites commonly refereed as ‘eyeworms’ which affect the eyes and associated tissues of several animals (e.g. canids, felids, ruminants, equids) and humans. The adult parasites live under the nictitating membrane of the eye and the mature females release first-stage larvae (L1s) into the lachrymal secretions, which are subsequently ingested by the arthropod intermediate host (non-biting diptera), where they undergo development until the infective third-stage larvae (L3s). Thelazia callipaeda, also known as the ’oriental eyeworm’, infects a range of definitive hosts (e.g. dogs, cats, foxes, wolves, rabbits, hares and humans).
