Taenia crassiceps is a parasite of wild canids and dogs that serve as definite hosts, harboring the adult cestode, whereas rodents are intermediate hosts in which metacestode/cysticercus/larval stage occurs. Fecal-oral transmission ensures parasite's lifecycle. At times, humans act accidental hosts. Despite public health concern this warrants, its epidemiology remains unclear. In report, we document occurrence metacestodes T. muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) domestic dog from northeastern United...
Intestinal parasites, including cestodes like Dipylidium caninum, are common in dogs the United States of America (USA), but fecal flotation consistently, and, at times, dramatically, fails to identify many these infections. To determine extent which coproantigen testing for D. caninum would improve identification infected with this cestode, we evaluated samples from 877 (589 pet and 288 municipal shelters) six USA states using zinc sulfate (specific gravity 1.24) centrifugation along...
Two adult male Puerto Rican crested anoles ( Anolis cristatellus cristatellus) housed in a research facility were presented with debilitation and euthanized. On autopsy, anole 1 had large cystic white structure the left pelvic limb, which protruded through ruptured epidermis, large, poorly demarcated swelling right caudal abdomen. Anole 2 masses mid-dorsum, dorsum, tail. These contained variably sized cestode larvae, into coelomic cavity. Evaluation of larvae revealed thickened wrinkled...
Abstract Background Praziquantel is the drug of choice for treating tapeworm Dipylidium caninum in dogs; however, resistance possible, and regular, non-targeted administration praziquantel may select anthelminthic-resistant populations. Methods The zinc sulfate fecal floatation procedure was conducted. Gross visualization used to identify spp. segments, capsule endoscopy visualize adult tapeworms within intestinal tract. Results An 18-month-old spayed female terrier mix presented due...

Species of Pterygodermatites are spirurid nematodes that have expanded their geographic distribution worldwide. They infect a variety mammalian definitive hosts with few reports potential paratenic infections in amphibian and reptile hosts. In this study, we report sp. larvae identified free-ranging, invasive Cuban treefrogs ( Osteopilus septentrionalis ), from central Florida, United States. Encysted were recovered the skeletal muscle and/or coelomic cavity three frogs; molecular...
Anoles are a widely distributed group of reptiles that also increasing in popularity as pet animal. These species have been described paratenic and intermediate hosts for many parasites veterinary medical importance. However, while human animals such cats dogs may often interact with anoles, little research has conducted terms assessing the full potential anoles to harbor public health significance. The current study analyzed captured dissected St. Kitts, West Indies, describe parasitic...
Toxocara is a genus of nematodes, which infects variety hosts, principally dogs and cats, with potential zoonotic risks to humans. spp. larvae are capable migrating throughout the host tissues, eliciting eosinophilic granulomatous reactions, while surviving for extended periods time, unchanged, in host. It postulated that altering host’s immune response through elaboration excretory-secretory products, containing both proteins extracellular vesicles. The study vesicles has increased...
