Molecular detection of Leishmania spp. in dogs and a cat from Doha, Qatar

Background: Canine and feline leishmanioses are increasingly reported worldwide and represent a threat to both animal and human health. Despite their relevance, data about leishmanioses in companion animals in the east-central part of the Arabian Peninsula are unavailable. Therefore, we investigated the occurrence of Leishmania spp. in dogs and cats from Qatar. Methods: From March 2016 to May 2018, 199 pets (12...

Zoonotic Onchocerca lupi Infection in Dogs, Greece and Portugal, 2011–2012

Onchocercosis by Onchocerca lupi is an emerging zoonosis, but only case reports are available in dog populations. Of 107 animals sampled in Greece and Portugal, 9 (8.4%) scored positive. Molecular analysis confirmed the morphological identification and showed that those from Portugal differed at larger extent from all others available.

Genetic characterization of Eucoleus aerophilus from different hosts and Countries

The parasitic nematode Eucoleus aerophilus (syn. Capillaria aerophila) affects the respiratory tract of different carnivore species. Infected animals may display minimal respiratory signs to sneezing, wheezing, and chronic dry or moist cough; heavy parasite burdens lead to bronchopneumonia, respiratory failure and may be life-threatening (Traversa D et al, 2011, Parasitol Res, 109: S97-104). Occasionally E. aer...

Feline thelaziosis caused by Thelazia callipaeda in Portugal

Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida, Thelaziidae) is a nematode that lives in the conjunctival sac of domestic and wild carnivores, rabbits and humans causing mild to severe symptoms (e.g., conjunctivitis, lacrimation, epiphora, blepharospasm, keratitis and even corneal ulceration) in infected animals. This report describes an autochthonous case of thelaziosis in a cat from the central region of Portugal, representi...
