Domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) can transmit a variety of pathogens due to their ubiquitousness in urban, rural and natural environments, and their close interactions with wildlife and humans. In this study, we used a mixed-methods approach to assess the role of domestic dogs as potential...

Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are the most significant arthropods of medical importance because of the burden of diseases, such as malaria, encephalitis and filariasis, which are caused by pathogens and parasites they transmit to humans. In 2007, the most recently published checklist of Iranian...

The mosquito Culex pipiens is the primary vector of Rift Valley fever, West Nile, encephalitis, and Zika viruses, and periodic lymphatic filariasis. Developing insecticide resistance in mosquitoes demands the development of new approaches to fight these diseases. Paratransgenesis and RNAi...

Reptile vector-borne diseases (RVBDs) of zoonotic concern are caused by bacteria, protozoa and viruses transmitted by arthropod vectors, which belong to the subclass Acarina (mites and ticks) and the order Diptera (mosquitoes, sand flies and tsetse flies). The phyletic age of reptiles since their...

This book is comprised of 41 chapters covering the different infectious diseases of the cat. The clinical aspects, diagnosis, aetiology, pathogenesis, treatment and management of viral (feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukaemia virus, feline infectious peritonitis virus, feline influenza ...

Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are bloodsucking vectors of human and animal pathogens. Mosquito-borne diseases (malaria, filariasis, dengue, zika, and chikungunya) cause severe mortality and morbidity annually, and tsetse fly-borne diseases (African...

These proceedings consist of papers from the 15th Scientific Conference on the "theory and practice of the struggle against parasitic diseases", held in Moscow, Russia, on 20-21 May 2014. Topics of papers include the epidemiology, diagnosis, control, treatment and resistance of livestock animals...

Mongolia is home to 454,000 domesticated two-humped camels (Camelus bactrianus) and several hundred wild Bactrian camels (Camelus ferus) but knowledge about the diversity of camel infectious pathogens in this country is still limited. In this article, all studies carried out on camel infectious ...

This review summarises the current state of knowledge of the genetic control of resistance to infectious and metabolic diseases in small ruminants. Diseases covered include gastrointestinal nematode infections, diseases due to mycotoxins, bacterial diseases including footrot and mastitis, ...

This paper discussed some of the common diseases in pets transmitted by vectors with focused on its prevention as well as on controlling these ectoparasites using the Front line Tri-Act method.
