Perinatal parvoviral infection in puppies leads to necrotizing myocarditis, resulting either high mortality or gradual heart damage. We believe that canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2) myocardial is not being fully recognized as a cause of cardiac injury, and fibrosis repair young dogs, despite the significant reduction epidemic myocarditis due extensive vaccination. This study analyzed formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues obtained from 40 cases aged less than two years, spanning period 2019...

Pythium oligandrum is an oomycete commonly used in the biological control of plant and vegetable pests. In veterinary medicine to treat dermatophytosis produced by Microsporum canis. It acts as antagonist, negatively influencing development other fungi. Through hydrolytic enzymes, such kinase cellulase, it destroys cell wall internal cytoplasmic content. Many fungi are considered nematophagous. This potential has not been exploited for oligandrum, which why this study larvicidal action...
