Dogs are responsible for many zoonoses. This paper presents some zoonoses transmitted by fecal parasites. Twenty fecal pools were collected from four different sites (five pools per site) between June and August 2015. Soon after retrieval, samples were sent to the laboratory for parasite research...

The ProMAC emerged within the University of São Paulo in response to a community demand, to address environmental problems, including the presence of stray dogs in its campus. This study aimed to address this program regarding the dynamics and health of the population of stray dogs in the campus...

Diarrhea in calves is proved to be one of the main causes of economic loss in beef herds, which is direct originated by reduction of weight gain and increment of treatment costs.
