In a retrospective study, the results of parasitological examinations faecal samples from 8,560 cats and 24,677 dogs between January 2003 December 2010 in Germany were analysed. 30.4 % examined 22.8 infected with endoparasites. The examination revealed stages Giardia spp. (18.6 %), Toxocara canis (6.1 Toxascaris leonina (0.6 Ancylostomatidae (2.2 Trichuris vulpis (1.2 Capillaria (1.3 Crenosoma (0.4 Angiostrongylus vasorum (0.5 Taeniidae Dipylidiidae (< 0.1 Mesocestoides Isospora (5.6 I....

Giardia is now considered the most common enteric parasite in well cared for dogs and cats developed countries. The ecology, epidemiology clinical impact of infections with this such animals still not fully understood due to variable results across different studies. Faecal samples were collected between 2009 2012 from privately owned Germany presented local veterinarians a variety reasons. positive identified by microscopy coproantigen methods. Total faecal DNA was extracted multilocus...
Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) have increasingly become a focus of interest in recent years. Some the CVBDs are zoonotic and may therefore also represent risk for human population. Different factors discussion to explain expansion vectors pathogens into formerly unaffected areas. Knowledge prevalence distribution Bulgaria is scant overall most data rely on single case descriptions. The aim present study was determine seroprevalence important 167 dogs from central-southern (Stara...
Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) represent a wide group of major significance for canine health. In addition to their veterinary importance, many these are great zoonotic concern, posing risk potential transmission humans. To date, there has been scant knowledge regarding the prevalence, distribution and factors CVBDs in Greece. Therefore, objectives present study were update current on seroprevalence Dirofilaria immitis, Anaplasma spp., Ehrlichia spp. Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato)...
Phagocyte-derived extracellular traps (ETs) were recently demonstrated mainly in vertebrate hosts as an important effector mechanism against invading parasites. In the present study we aimed to characterize gastropod-derived invertebrate phagocyte trap (InEPT) formation response larval stages of canine and feline metastrongyloid lungworms. Gastropod haemocytes isolated from slug species Arion lusitanicus Limax maximus, snail Achatina fulica, exposed Angiostrongylus vasorum, Aelurostrongylus...
SUMMARY Dogs infected with Angiostrongylus vasorum , a potentially lethal parasite parasitizing the heart and pulmonary arteries, may present severe respiratory, haematological neurological signs. In this first large-scale seroepidemiological survey, 4003 sera originating from Germany 4030 UK were tested by an ELISA for detection of circulating antigen A. separate detecting specific antibodies. Germany, where mainly western federal states sampled, 0·3% ( n = 13, CI: 0·2–0·6%) dogs positive...
Cutaneous dirofilariosis is a canine mosquito-borne zoonosis that can cause larva migrans disease in humans. Dirofilaria repens considered an emerging pathogen occurring with high prevalence Mediterranean areas and many parts of tropical Asia. In Hong Kong, second species, Candidatus hongkongensis, has been reported. The present study aimed to compare mitochondrial genomes from these parasites obtain population genetic information.Complete were obtained by PCR Sanger sequencing or ILLUMINA...

Infections with the metastrongyloid nematode Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats have been reported sporadically from Germany. To assess occurrence and regional geographical distribution of A. Germany, faecal samples 391 symptoms respiratory disease were collected December 2009 to November 2011. The zinc chloride/sodium chloride flotation Baermann funnel technique used examine for presence lungworm larvae. data analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS). lungworms diagnosed 26 (6.6...
Dogs infected with Angiostrongylus vasorum, a potentially lethal parasite living in the heart and pulmonary arteries, may present severe respiratory neurological sings coagulopathies.Its occurrence is increasingly reported from various European countries, but little known about its presence Poland.In this first large-scale survey, 3,345 sera polish dogs attending veterinary clinics different parts of Poland for reasons were collected tested by an ELISA detection circulating antigen A....
Rodents are important intermediate and paratenic hosts for carnivore parasites, including the zoonotic agents Toxoplasma, Echinococcus Toxocara. Monitoring of such parasites in rodents can be used to detect increasing risks human veterinary public health. were trapped at four sites Berlin, two near city center, periphery. PCRs conducted Coccidia (target ITS-1) specifically Toxoplasma gondii (repetitive element) brain ascarids (ITS-2) muscle or tissue. During necropsies, metacestodes...
Angiostrongylus vasorum, Crenosoma vulpis and Eucoleus aerophilus are a source of increasing concern, potentially causing significant pulmonary severe cardiac/systemic diseases in domestic dogs wild canids, especially red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). To investigate the prevalence geographical distribution these parasites central Germany, total 569 were examined by dissection. Pluck (heart lung) faecal samples collected from three regions Germany. Lungs, hearts adjacent vessels processed for adult...
Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) have increasingly become a focus of attention in the past few years. Nevertheless, many parts Europe information on their occurrence is still scarce. In large study Poland 3,094 serum samples taken from dogs throughout all 16 Polish provinces were tested using commercial kit for detection circulating antibodies against Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Ehrlichia canis Dirofilaria immitis antigen. A total 12.31% (381/3,094; 95%...
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of imidacloprid 10 %/moxidectin 2.5 % (w/v) spot-on (Advocate®/Advantage® Multi, Bayer) against adult Dirofilaria repens in a blinded, placebo-controlled randomised laboratory study. Twenty-four Beagle dogs were experimentally infected with approximately 75 infective D. larvae each on day (SD) 0. Treatment was initiated SD 228 after patency had been confirmed 21 dogs, using modified Knott Test. Eleven received monthly treatments...
The nematode Capillaria aerophila (Trichuroidea, Trichuridae) affects the respiratory system of cats and other animals occasionally human beings. Infected may show bronchovesicular sounds, inflammation, sneezing, wheezing and, chronic cough sometimes, bronchopneumonia failure. present study evaluated efficacy safety antiparasitic spot-on formulation containing imidacloprid 10%/moxidectin 1 % (Advocate®, Bayer Animal Health) in treatment natural feline infection with lungworm C. aerophila....
