North American raccoons (Procyon lotor) have been introduced to several European countries, where they may represent a sanitary threat as hosts of pathogens such the zoonotic ascarid Baylisascaris procyonis. We carried out parasitological analysis on Italy verify whether species had along B. procyonis or any other gastro-intestinal helminths that threaten humans, livestock native wildlife. exam...

Abstract Background The rapidly increasing rodent and lizard populations in human dwellings markets could be attributed to the destruction of their natural habitats due rapid urbanization poor management urban wastes that attracts these animals. public health concern is potential for animals influence transmission zoonotic diseases, including helminths. In this study, occurrence helminth parasi...

The increase of global demand aquaculture products as compensation for the lowering fishery sustainability, has shown a parallel awareness by consumers on importance safety and quality fish products. Among these, salmon industry reached leading position demonstrating negligible risk presence zoonotic helminths such anisakid nematodes in farmed salmon. Despite massive production data literature ...

Parasites are a well-known threat to nonhuman primate (NHP) populations, and potentially cause zoonotic diseases in humans. In this study, the basic data was provided of the parasites in NHPs and the molecular characterization of the Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., and Entamoeba spp. were reviewed, which were found in these samples. A total of 3349 fecal sampl...

Pathoecology provides unique frameworks for understanding disease transmission in ancient populations. Analyses of Old and New World archaeological samples contribute empirically to our understanding of parasite infections. Combining archaeological and anthropological data, we gain insights about health, disease, and the way ancient people lived and interacted with each other and with their env...

Dogs play an important role in public health due to their close contact with humans. This study aimed investigate the presence and prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths stray dogs Erzurum province. Gastrointestinal helminth eggs were detected 190 out 446 (42.6%) dog fecal samples collected Erzurum. More specifically, taeniid (17.71%, 79/446), Toxocara canis (16.82%, 75/446), Toxascaris leoni...

Austria's mammalian wildlife comprises a large variety of species, acting and interacting in different ways as reservoir and intermediate and definitive hosts for different pathogens that can be transmitted to pets and/or humans. Foxes and other wild canids are responsible for maintaining zoonotic agents, e.g. Echinococcus multilocularis, as well as pet-relevant pathogens, e.g. Hepatozoon canis...

A comprehensive study was carried out from October 2012 to November 2013 in dogs attending veterinary clinic and household dogs, to determine the prevalence status of gastrointestinal helminthes in both groups in order to intensify control measures of zoonotic helminthes in Calabar, South Eastern Nigeria. Prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthes eggs detected in dogs attending veterinary clini...
