In recent years nematodosis in cattle are widely spread over the central part of Russia that seems to be caused by several anthropogenic factors. Based on results of study of 686 heads at stall-pasture housing, 289 heads at all year round stall housing, 334 heads at all year round stall housing...

Alternative pig farms, which do not raise animals in closed buildings with slatted and/or concrete floors, have critical points that need particular attention. Internal parasitism is one, as the farming conditions in such structures are more favorable to the development and survival of parasites....

Faecal samples from 19 commercial, 65 week old free-range egg laying flocks were examined to assess the prevalence and number of parasitic nematode eggs. Data were collected to characterise the housing, husbandry, behaviour and welfare of the flocks to examine possible relationships with the egg...

Mice are commonly infected with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) to study their immune responses. However, biosecurity measures have not been established for housing Nb-infected mice and rats. Transmission reportedly does not occur when infected mice are cohoused with naive mice. To test this, we...

Syngamus trachea is a pathogenic tracheal nematode that causes syngamiasis in wild and game birds, especially when birds are managed at high densities. Despite its pathogenic nature, very little is known about its epidemiology and relationship with ambient temperature and humidity. The spatial and...

Arthropod vectors of canine infectious diseases are present throughout Florida. Since crowded housing has the potential to bring vectors and infected dogs into close proximity, it is possible that prevalence of infection is higher in intensely housed dogs. In this study, the seroprevalence of ...

Public concern on welfare of dairy calves remains low in Sri Lanka. Therefore, a survey was conducted to assess the welfare issues of dairy calf management practices in 120 small scale dairy farms (herd size 7.85±3.25: Mean±SD) in Ratnapura district, Sri Lanka. Farmers were selected by using...

To estimate the incidence of Dirofilaria immitis in Austrian shelter dogs and mosquitoes trapped in their proximity, 115 shelter dogs from fourteen animal shelters located in five different Austrian states were examined. Blood samples were screened for D. immitis using ELISA antigen-testing, PCR...

This study aims to evaluate the main gastrointestinal parasitosis of dogs from the municipal kennel in the city of Caxias do Sul (RS). 102 fecal samples were evaluated from October to November 2019, representing 13.08% of the dogs living in the area. The samples were classified according to the age ...

Samples taken from the stalls and manure tank of pig housing that had been left unused for 13 years were analysed for bacteria, viruses and parasites. When emptied, the structures had been normally cleaned, but not specifically disninfected. Of the stall samples, Bacillus sp. was found in 1 of 7, ...
