Dirofilaria immitis and repens are mosquito-transmitted zoonotic nematodes, causing heartworm disease skin lesions, respectively, in carnivores. In Europe, the domestic dog is apparently main definitive host, but patent infections occur also other species of The rapid spread golden jackals (Canis aureus) throughout Europe opens a question involvement this sylvatic cycle pathogens colonised territories, including spp. Between January 2014 May 2015, 54 from 18 localities Romania were examined...
Abstract Background Vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) are a major threat to humans, livestock and companion animals worldwide. The combined effect of climatic, socioeconomic host composition changes favours the spread vectors, together with expansion invasive carnivores contributing pathogens. In Europe, most widespread species raccoons ( Procyon lotor ) raccoon dogs Nyctereutes procyonoides ). This study focused on detection four groups VBPs namely Babesia , Hepatozoon Anaplasma phagocytophilum...
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the most widespread free-living carnivore in world. Over years, foxes have been recognized as hosts for a number of tick-borne pathogens. However, their role reservoirs zoonotic diseases poorly understood. aim our study was to investigate pathogens population Czech Republic. Out 117 foxes, 110 (94.02%) individuals tested positive presence at least one pathogen by combined PCR and sequencing approach. Hepatozoon canis frequently detected (n = 95; 81.2%),...
ABSTRACT A 2-year national genomic screening in the Czech Republic identified a notable prevalence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 5 (NDM-5)-producing Escherichia coli sequence type 38 (ST38) city Brno. Forty-two ST38 E. isolates harbored bla NDM-5 gene on chromosome. Virulence factors confirmed persistence these through biofilm formation. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)-based phylogeny and CRISPR assay typing showed minimal variations, implying clonally driven outbreak. Results...
Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are closely related coccidian parasites infecting a wide range of wild domestic animals as intermediate hosts, rodents serve important reservoir hosts during the life cycles these parasites. The present study is aimed at identifying T. N. infection in 360 house mice (Mus musculus) collected across Czech-German border, where 2 genetically distinct mouse subspecies meet hybridize. or DNA was detected brains individual by PCR, but mixed infections were...
The epidemiology of tick-borne diseases as well the ecology associated tick vectors is currently undergoing dynamic change. Canine babesiosis has, to date, only been reported in Czech Republic an imported disease, despite presence established population D. reticulatus South Moravian region. A recent report autochthonous H. canis dogs indicates that spectrum may be broader than previously expected and a survey large set required. aim present study was apicomplexan parasites infecting assess...
Toxoplasma gondii may cause fatal infection in European brown hares (Lepus europaeus). However, the role of this parasite terms mortality rate tularaemia endemic areas, amount parasites affected organs and circulating genotypes, is still unknown. In total, 36 (killed or found dead) were submitted for pathomorphological examination as a part national brucellosis monitoring. Tissue samples (lung, heart, liver, spleen kidney) tested by quantitative real-time PCR targeting 529 bp region T....
This case report describes an infection with O. osleri in a 10-month-old intact female Miniature German Spitz that presented 3-month history of progressive cough. Diagnosis was based upon visualization characteristic lesions during bronchoscopy. Female parasites and first-stage larvae collected from tracheal nodules were morphologically identical to the osleri. First-stage isolated faeces used for morphological molecular confirmation diagnosis. Anthelmintic therapy fenbendazole (50 mg/kg...
