The aim of this study was to determine the presence hyperparasitic fungus Arthrorhynchus nycteribiae and analyze its spatio-temporal pattern in two bat flies (Penicillidia conspicua P. dufourii) parasitizing on bats. We collected 612 samples from 400 bats 20 caves Central Balkans. Hyperparasite identified based morphological molecular analyses rDNA genes (LSU SSU). A. reported for first time Bosnia Herzegovina Montenegro, confirmed Serbia. Of sites examined, we found at 11 sites. prevalence...
Dirofilaria repens causes an emerging zoonotic disease in Europe, particularly its southern part, the Mediterranean region. Many reports on human dirofilariosis have been published recently, but little is known about wildlife hosts and reservoirs of this parasite nature. This paper presents first records adult D. specimens from free-ranging carnivores Central Balkan countries (Serbia Macedonia). During period 2009-2013, a total 145 regularly shot canids were examined for presence adults. In...
Phylogeographical studies allow precise genetic comparison of specimens, which were collected over large geographical ranges and belong to the same or closely related animal species. These methods have also been used compare ticks veterinary-medical importance. However, relevant data are missing in case ixodid bats, despite (1) vast range both Ixodes vespertilionis simplex, (2) considerable uncertainty their taxonomy, is currently unresolvable by morphological clues. In present study 21...
Bats are hosts to a number of ectoparasites—acarines (ticks, chiggers, other mites), bat flies, and fleas. Bat ectoparasites might have significant ecological public health importance as they may be potential vectors zoonotic agents. It is important identify their distribution, diversity, host-parasite associations. in the central Balkans been largely understudied. The present research was conducted 45 localities at territory Bosnia Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic Macedonia,...
Linguatula serrata is a cosmopolitan, bloodsucking parasite found in both domestic and wild animals. Humans are not considered as its main hosts but can act intermediate (visceral linguatuliasis) final (nasopharyngeal linguatuliasis). Reports on canids definitive of this scarce. During 2009-2011 the autopsy was performed 42 legally hunted grey wolves (Canis lupus) from Serbia Former Yugoslav Republic Macedonia (FYROM). Only one specimen infected with single adult female L. serrata. The nasal...
Abstract The selection and field application of animal‐based welfare measures for pigs, sheep, dairy cows broilers was the first step towards future development improvement schemes Serbia – a country that is applying EU accession. aim this pilot study to: (1) test feasibility protocol monitoring farm animal in Serbia, (2) ascertain preliminary data on outcomes (3) gain insight into Serbian farmers’ understanding as part wider project working inclusion assessments ‘higher welfare’ voluntary...
