The canine hookworms Ancylostoma braziliense, ceylanicum, caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala are not only capable of producing morbidity mortality in dogs but also neglected tropical zoonoses. Each hookworm species differs considerably its geographical distribution, life cycle, biology, pathogenic impacts on both human hosts, zoonotic potential, response to treatment with anthelminthics. Here we describe the development validation two Taq-Man based multiplex PCR assays detecting...
Many species of canine gastrointestinal (GI) parasites are known to be zoonotic meaning that dog owners' management and practices key preventing exposure humans dogs as well contamination the environment. As Australia has one highest rates pet ownership in world, we administered an online questionnaire owners across nation assess their perceptions, practices, behaviours towards GI parasites. Descriptive analysis was performed summarise perceptions practices. Factors associated with...
The Asia-Pacific hosts a large diversity of canine vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) with some the most common and pathogenic, generating significant mortality as well spectrum health impacts on local dog populations. VBPs Anaplasma platys, Babesia gibsoni, vogeli, Ehrlichia canis, Hepatozoon canis haemotropic Mycoplasma spp. are all endemic throughout region, many exhibiting shifting geographical distributions that warrant urgent attention. Moreover, these species cause similar clinical signs...
The great ecological and economic value of the biocenoses Marine Protected Area 'Capo Caccia-Isola Piana' (MPA) requires a constant monitoring. For this reason, continuous study area producing overlapping maps useful to control in real time evolution is necessary. integrated use several methodologies, such as Side Scan Sonar, Remote Operating Vehicle Drone, has allowed us realize very detailed map. This paper presents marine benthic map MPA compares present situation with that recorded 2008.
In recent years, Angiostrongylus vasorum, Crenosoma vulpis, Eucoleus aerophilus (syn. Capillaria aerophila) and boehmi boehmi), commonly referred to as canine lungworms, have gained a growing interest worldwide the result of their geographical expansion. Each these nematode species differs considerably in its biology pathogenicity. Despite impact on dogs' health, parasites are often underdiagnosed owing diagnostic challenges. Here, we describe development validation Taq-Man-based multiplex...
