clinically infected dogs have been identified as the main reservoir hosts of visceral leishmaniasis (vl)caused by leishmania infantum. recently asymptomatic infected dogs were regarded to be as important asclinically ill dogs. this study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of l. infantum infection amongasymptomatic dogs in the southwest and central parts of iran and to investigate possibl...

Leptospirosis is a worldwide-spread zoonosis causing disease and death in dogs humans. A Leptospiral infection has been recorded several wild carnivore species Europe, but tissue pathological changes were not commonly described. The Grey wolf (Canis lupus) expanding its distribution range north-eastern Italy during the last decade. young wolf, representing first individual handled region, was f...

Abstract To develop more effective solid tumor CAR T cell therapies, we utilized the spontaneous canine metastatic osteosarcoma (OS) animal model. Our studies evaluated relative activity of single B7H3 and dual-valent B7H3-CXCR2 constructs. Studies were also designed to determine if modifying microenvironment (TME) with oral immunotherapy improved activity, based on recent losartan propranolol ...

Heartworm infection is one of the most important parasitic diseases in dogs and an increasing number of cases are reported each year by necropsy in Ahvaz. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Dirofilaria immitisinfection and to investigate the risk factors related to heartworm disease in urban dogs in this area. Blood samples were collected from 100 dogs from Feb 2007 to Feb ...

Koutras has proposed some methods to construct reducible proper conformal Killing tensors and Killing tensors (which are, in general, irreducible) when a pair of orthogonal conformal Killing vectors exist in a given space. We give the completely general result demonstrating that this severe restriction of orthogonality is unnecessary. In addition we correct and extend some results concerning Ki...

visceral leishmaniasis is a parasitic infectious disease from dogs and canids to human that is caused by protozoans of the genus leishmania. information on the prevalence of canine leishmaniasis is necessary to define control measures for zoonotic leishmaniasis. this seroepidemiological survey was performed in dogs from ahvaz district using by dat and elisa. blood was randomly collected in 38 p...

background: the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of ectoparasite infestations in stray dogs in mazandaran, gilan and qazvin provinces in fall and winter in 2013(december to march). methods: seventy dogs in 2013, from these provinces were examined for ectoparasite infestation and diagnosis of them based on parasitological methods and identification keys was done. results:...
