Human zoonosis threatens public health disease surveillance, management, control and eventual elimination. Nowadays, people and pets share private and public utilities oblivious of the potential risk of zoonotic pathogen transmissions. Toxocariasis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic helminthic infections that are transmitted by cats and dogs through soils contaminations. The present study so...

we aimed to investigate igg antibody levels specific to toxocara canis (t. canis), a parasite which subsists in dog’s intestine, on serum samples obtained from patients with chronic urticaria (cu) to evaluate effective risk in cu etiopathogenesis.in this study, 73 patients diagnosed with cu and 109 healthy individuals as control group, were included. various factors such as sex, age, education ...

An epidemiological study of Babesia canis in dogs in Nigeria was performed. Four hundred blood samples collected from dogs in Nigeria were investigated using nested PCR and sequence analysis. On nested PCR screening, nine samples (2.3%) produced a band corresponding to a 698-bp fragment indicative of B. canis infection. Sequence analysis of the PCR products identified eight samples (2.0%) as B....
