The aim of the present study was shedding light on disease factors underlying mortality event among common carps inhabiting Hirfanlı Dam Lake in Türkiye spring year 2021. For this purpose various parasitological, bacteriological and virological research techniques were employed. Five parasite genera, Dactylogyrus spp., Myxobolus Eimeria Trichodina Diplostomum spp. isolated from 13 carps. opport...

The parasite load of brown hares (Lepus europaeus) is of great interest to hunting ground managers and veterinarians. We compared the prevalence and intensity of parasitic infections in 362 hares from Austria and the Czech Republic with respect to age and body weight. Samples of the entire gastrointestinal tract, liver and lungs were collected during autumn hunting events in 2007. The parasite ...

Introduction Intestinal coccidiosis, a contagious enteritis caused mainly by infection with the protozoan parasite Eimeria spp., occurs universally, affecting both domesticated and wild mammals. Overt disease with diarrhea, dysentery and even death, or chronic infection with symptoms of malnourishment, or subclinical infection with diminished weight gain, may be present within a group of affect...

BACKGROUND Cats are the hosts for some zoonotic parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara spp. which are important in medicine and veterinary. Studies on the prevalence of intestinal parasites of cats have received little attention in south west of Iran. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of parasites in stray cats in Ahvaz. MATERIALS AND METHODS Random ...

Pig production is based on routine deworming and very rarely includes endoparasitological diagnosis. Monitoring pig through a consideration of endoparasites in the herd should be part health program, which will directly translate into amount costs improve condition animals. The aim this study was diagnosis endoparasitic infection sows piglets as an element sustainable production. Parasitologica...

Protozoal parasites are ubiquitous within domestic cattle. In fact, infections of cattle with Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., Eimeria spp., Sarcocystis spp., and Neospora caninum are so widespread that eradication of these organisms is seldom a wise or practical goal. The good news is that practical steps are available for the prevention or reduction of clinical disease by these paras...

The Apicomplexa are a phylum of diverse obligate intracellular parasites including Plasmodium spp., the cause of malaria; Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium parvum, opportunistic pathogens of immunocompromised individuals; and Eimeria spp. and Theileria spp., parasites of considerable agricultural importance. These protozoan parasites share distinctive morphological features, cytoskeletal or...

The occurrence of apicomplexan parasites in Podarcis sp. wall lizards from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic islands was studied by amplification and sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene. Species from 3 genera, Hepatozoon , Sarcocystis , and Eimeria , were found. The phylogenetic analysis of the 18S rRNA gene provides unexpected insights into the evolutionary history of these parasites. All Hepatoz...

Coccidiosis is a disease that limits the production and marketing of gallinaceous birds in North America, especially quails, pheasants and chukar partridges. Virtually no research has been conducted in South America on the causative agents of diseases among these birds, including coccidia. The aim of this work was to make first observations on Eimeria spp. in the chukar partridge Alectoris chuk...
