We investigated the activity patterns of a European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) population living in forested Apennine area central Italy, order to shed light on environmental and biological factors that were expected account for observed daily yearly bases. Daily seasonal 31 radio-collared assessed through sessions radio tracking total period 18 consecutive months. Roe showed bimodal throughout year, with two highest peaks recorded at dawn dusk. Activity males females differed during...
Abstract Cryptosporidiosis is recognized as being a significant cause of gastrointestinal illness due to its wide range vertebrate hosts, including humans. Infection with Cryptosporidium spp. especially common in young domestic ruminants (calves, lambs and goat kids) has been associated economic losses worldwide. In contrast cattle, date, detailed studies on infections sheep from Europe are still limited; thus, their importance reservoirs species implications animal public health needs be...
Natural infection with a species of Angiostrongylus has been reported only once in wildcats from central Italy by Biocca 1957. The causative this was identified as chabaudi. Following report, parasite had never found either wild or domestic cats. lungs and the pulmonary arteries an adult female cat (Felis silvestris catus), road-killed Sardinia, Italy, were macroscopically examined dissected under light microscope for presence parasites. A slender nematode detected its morphometrical...
Abstract An acute outbreak of Taenia hydatigena cysticercosis, causing mortality in 5 21 (23.8%) female lambs, is reported. Gross post-mortem examinations and histology showed Cysticercus tenuicollis as the cause death. Biochemical parameters infected lambs confirmed severe hepatitis. Praziquantel, given once at 15 mg/kg body weight (bw), was administered a dramatic improvement clinical condition biochemical observed up to 30 days following treatment.
Shepherd and stray dogs are thought to represent the primary definitive hosts of Coenurosis by Taenia multiceps, due their feeding habits which translate into high chances coming contact with infected intermediate hosts. Nonetheless, little attention has been paid role red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in epidemiology coenurosis. In fact a knowledge gap exists on played foxes multiceps capability this parasite produce fertile viable eggs wild canid, i.e. occurrence sylvatic cycle. This study...
Abstract Leishmaniasis is a widespread, vector-borne parasitosis causing clinical manifestations in animals and humans. In dogs, Canine has been reported as much 50 countries the Mediterranean basin known to be one of most affected zones. Within these areas, Island Sardinia (Italy) long considered endemic for leishmaniasis presence two arthropod vectors recently there. Nevertheless, date, no epidemiological surveys regarding CanL have carried out on island. Hence, first time, seroprevalence...
We analysed the influence of light/dark cycle, temperature, sex, season, and reproductive status on daily activity patterns 26 radiocollared mouflons (17 females, 9 males) in Sardinia. Data their were collected from January 2006 to August 2007. Activity levels showed a 24-h bimodal pattern characterized by periodic cycles with increases decreases peaking at dawn dusk respectively. Beside being influenced environmental temperatures, adjusted seasonally according cycles. Only males...
The flagellate protozoan Giardia duodenalis causes infection in humans and various animals. Eight distinct assemblages (A-H) have been identified within G. duodenalis; A B are those specific to animals, C H restricted animal hosts.The present study estimated the prevalence of dogs living Sardinia region evaluated related risk factors. Individual fecal samples were collected from 655 between January 2007 December 2010, a form was filled out for each analyze historic data that available at...
