BACKGROUND Carnivore carcasses on the roads can be regarded as study materials in parasitology and eco-epidemiology. Stray carnivores such as dogs and cats are known to harbor so many different pathogens like zoonotic helminthes. The current investigation, apparent the status of the helminthic parasites found in road killed carnivores from different parts of Guilan Province north of Iran. MET...

Intestinal parasites are involved in the health and wellbeing of cats some them, due to their zoonotic potential, represent a problem for public health. This study aimed assess prevalence parasitic infections with gastrointestinal signs. Fecal samples collected from 137 were analyzed by flotation method using sodium chloride saturated solution. The overall intestinal was 50.4%. significantly (p...

Human toxocariasis is a helminthic zoonosis caused by larval stages of Toxocara canis and, less frequently, by T. cati, the roundworms of dogs and cats, respectively. Accidentally, humans ingest embryonated eggs containing the infective larva which are released in the upper small intestine and then pass through the intestinal epithelium to reach the blood vessels, where they can migrate to the ...

We report four cases of passage of subadult or adult Toxocara cati worms by young children ages 20 months to seven years. Worms were expelled rectally in two cases and in two cases they were vomited. A single worm was passed in two cases, three worms in one case, and 15 worms in the fourth case. All worms that were available for study were identified as T. cati by morphologic criteria, includin...

Statistics Belgium set up an outbound call centre for the collection of output prices by way of computer-assisted telephone interviewing; the software used is the CATI-module of Blaise. Telephone interviewing was chosen because it allows very rapid data collection, which is crucial for output prices information. Another limiting factor for data availability, however, is the time and effort spen...

Toxocara is a roundworm, a common parasite of dogs (T. canis) and cats (T. cati). Toxocariasis or Visceral larva migrans (VLM) are diseases caused by the larvae of Toxocara sp., which may involve many organs, but pulmonary symptoms such as coughing and wheezing and allergic symptoms are seen in more than 80% of patients. It is known that, although the risk of infection is present, the worldwide...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the impact of data collection method on self-reported cancer screening behaviours, particularly among hard-to-reach populations. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of data collection mode on response to indicators of cancer screenings by unmarried middle-aged and older women. METHODS Three survey methods were evaluated for collecting data abou...
