A dioctofimose é uma afecção pouco comum em cães, causada pelo Dioctophyma renale, que ocorre com maior frequência animais errantes. Quando um único rim parasitado, os pacientes podem não apresentar sinais clínicos devido à compensação contralateral. Não havendo terapia clínica efetiva para a dioctofimose, o tratamento indicado nefrotomia ou nefrectomia, na dependência da gravidade lesão.

Cattle tick fever (CTF) causes significant economic losses in the livestock sector. The pathogenic action of hemoparasites is associated with anemia, weight loss, abortion and reduced productivity, which result animal death. Programs to prevent CTF involve several procedures, including immunization, chemoprophylaxis use ectoparasiticides, together vector control environment. objective this study was report an acute outbreak a group 157 Hereford cattle from farm without presence vector, that...

This study describes changes in oxidative stress (OS) parameters mice experimentally infected with Angiostrongylus costaricensis, which causes abdominal angiostrongyliasis. For this, 28 Swiss were used, divided into two groups (G1 and G2), 14 animals each. Of these, eight ten infective larvae each, by gavage, six used as a control group. Mice from G1 G2 euthanized at days 24 post-infection, respectively. Tissue samples for histopathological analysis blood (serum) taken to assess the levels...

Introdução: Angiostrongilíase Abdominal (AA), causada pelo nematódeo Angiostrongylus costaricensis, é considerada uma zoonose. A patogênese desta doença acontece em função dos vermes adultos habitarem as artérias mesentéricas do hospedeiro. Contudo, não apenas o intestino lesionado, outros órgãos acabam sofrendo com a presença parasito. Objetivo: Avaliar se houve alterações nas enzimas hepáticas e nos parâmetros de Estresse Oxidativo (EO), camundongos experimentalmente infectados A....
