Angiostrongylus chabaudi (arrows) on the endothelium of right ventricle a wildcat in Northern Greece
Currently, climate change, modifications of landscapes and habitats due to human activities, as well an increase in the movement reservoirs new species competent vectors, have contributed spread canine vector-borne diseases. These are mostly emerging neglected diseases, some them with zoonotic potential. Therefore, objective this study was assess prevalence distribution four major diseases (Dirofilaria immitis, Leishmania infantum, Anaplasma spp., Ehrlichia canis) Spain. Between September...
Dirofilariosis is a zoonotic disease that mainly affects dogs and cats, with high risk to public health. The island of Gran Canaria (Spain) has been shown be hyperendemic area infection and, therefore, model for studying the evolution disease. objective this study was track prevalence distribution heartworm in dogs, residents from 1994 2020, using published unpublished data. Blood samples 5841 1203 1604 humans were collected years analyzed, considering geographical isoclimatic factors. In...
Heartworm disease is caused by Dirofilaria immitis, which mainly affects canids and felids. Adult D. immitis worms are located between the heart’s right ventricle pulmonary artery. These parasites produce an inflammatory hypoxic process in vascular endothelium. It has been demonstrated that excretory/secretory antigens able to stimulate angiogenic as a survival mechanism of endothelium, stimulating proangiogenic pathway related cellular processes. Our goal was study role glyceraldehyde...
Climatic and various socio-geographical variables have significantly influenced the global spread of Dirofilaria immitis. The coastal district Aveiro, Portugal, marked by its unique hydrographic structure, Ria de a concerning rise in heartworm disease, was focus our study. We aimed to update prevalence D. immitis dogs seroprevalence cats humans, correlating these data with epidemiological information. A total 430 were sampled for antigens, 426 398 humans Wolbachia sp. antibodies. In...
Abstract We report 14 cases of human subcutaneous dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria repens, diagnosed from February 2003 through July 2004, in patients Rostov-on-Don, Russia. Serologic analysis showed evidence high risk exposure to D. repens. Surveillance studies on prevalence and prevention effectiveness canine infection are needed control this emerging zoonosis.
Epidemiological data on canine and human dirofilariosis in the Rostov Region (Southern Russia) are presented. Prevalence of Dirofilaria spp. infections 795 autochthonous dogs, assessed by Knott test, was 20.25%. The highest prevalence found Novocherkassk (38.3%) Rostov-on-Don (18.5%), while prevalences were lower other points region. D. repens 44.7%, immitis 30.3%, coinfections observed 25.0% dog population. A case finding study carried out during 9 years (2000-2009) revealed 131 cases...
We analyze through a climatic model the influence of regional warming on geographical spreading and potential risk infection human dirofilariosis in Russia, Ukraine, other post-Soviet states from 1981 to 2011 estimate situation by 2030. The correctly predicts spatiotemporal location 97.10% 2154 clinical cases reported area during studied period, identified retrospective review literature. There exists also significant correlation between annual predicted Dirofilaria generations calculated...
