Occurrence of Endoparasites in Indigenous Zambian Dogs

Endoparasites with Zoonotic Potential in Domesticated Dogs

Contact with the soil, fomites or hands contaminated with the animals’ feces favors accidental human infection either through ingestion of Toxocara canis embryonic eggs, resulting in Visceral Larva Migrans (VLM) syndrome (Coelho et al., 2001), or through percutaneous penetration of Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma braziliense infective larvae, causing Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) Syndrome (...

Occurrence of endoparasites in heifers imported to Poland from the Netherlands (Short Communication)

Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was studied in 106 heifers imported to Poland from the Netherlands. Prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes and Eimeria protozoans was determined from coproscopic examinations using Willis-Schlaf flotation. The species composition of coccidia was determined from morphological characters and the time of oocyst sporulation. Fluke liver eggs were detected ...

Surrogate hosts: Hunting dogs and recolonizing grey wolves share their endoparasites

Understanding how closely related wildlife species and their domesticated counterparts exchange or share parasites, or replace each other in parasite life cycles, is of great interest to veterinary and human public health, and wildlife ecology. Grey wolves (Canis lupus) host and spread endoparasites that can either directly infect canid conspecifics or their prey serving as intermediate hosts o...
