Abstract Wild terrestrial carnivores play a crucial role as reservoir, maintenance, and spillover hosts for wide parasite variety. They may harbor, shed, transmit zoonotic parasites of veterinary importance domestic hosts. Although wild are globally distributed comprise many different species, some living in close proximity to human settlements, only few studies have investigated using non-specific techniques. Access samples be challenging species protected, others secretive, possibly...

Abstract Hemotropic Mycoplasma species are vector-borne bacteria that attach and grow on the surface of erythrocytes in various mammals, yet reports canine hemoplasmosis Iran scarce. The aim this study was molecular detection identification hemoplasmas blood dogs ( n = 370) from five provinces ectoparasites infesting them including Ctenocephalides canis Pulex irritans fleas, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato ticks, Heterodoxus spiniger lice Hippobosca longipennis keds. spp. pathogens were...

Abstract Background Camel production in Saudi Arabia is severely affected by various diseases and inadequate veterinary services. Ticks tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) affect the health wellbeing of camels consequently diminishing their productivity performances. In addition, may act as hosts for TBPs (e.g. Anaplasma phagocytophilum ) causing humans. The current study aimed to determine prevalence ixodid ticks molecularly investigate associated from Arabia. Methods Blood tick samples were...

Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) are highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries, mainly due to favorable climate conditions reduced adoption of preventive measures. This study aimed provide a comprehensive overview on the prevalence CVBDs Iran Pakistan where limited data available. Blood samples were collected from 403 dogs six provinces assess presence pathogen DNA (i.e., Anaplasma spp., Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia Rickettsia Babesia Hepatozoon filarioids, Leishmania spp.)....

Between September 2019 and December 2023, a total of 612 wild birds representing 16 orders, 33 families, 60 genera, 78 species from nine provinces Iran with different climates namely Hamedan (n = 54), Sistan-va-Baluchestan 372), Kerman 73), South Khorasan 52), Mazandaran 7), Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari 2), Gilan Golestan 18), North 9), Razavi 23) were examined for chewing lice infestation. Naked eye examination revealed that 58 (9.5%) infested at least one louse species. Collected specimens...

Abstract Background Hemotropic Mycoplasma species (hemoplasmas) cause hemolytic anemia in cats worldwide and are recognized as emerging zoonotic pathogens. There is no comprehensive study on the prevalence diversity of hemoplasmas domestic cat populations different regions Iran. Thus, aims present were to provide data molecular characterization hemotropic apparently healthy from six Iranian provinces with climates. In addition, potential risk factors associated hemoplasmosis assessed....

Canine circovirus (CaCV) is a single-stranded DNA virus that globally circulates in dogs and wild carnivores. Although the pathogenic potential of has not been fully understood yet, CaCV suggested to exacerbate clinical course other canine viral infections but also circulate without signs. In this study, we carried out real-time PCR assays detect enteric pathogens from 156 rectal swabs collected enteritis 3 different regions Iran. A total 14 samples tested positive for full-length genome...
