Prevalence of infection in dogs and egg environmental contamination in Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines.

Unlabelled: is a parasitic gastrointestinal nematode of dogs causing toxocariasis in humans, a neglected tropical disease. This study examined the burden of infection in dogs and egg contamination in school playgrounds and public parks in Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines. Fecalysis and egg detection in soils were performed to determine the parasite prevalence in dogs and the environment.

Prevalence, risk factors, and spatial distribution of Fasciola in carabao and intermediate host in Baybay, Leyte, Philippines.

Fasciolosis remains an important parasitic disease of ruminants in Southeast Asia. We investigated the prevalence and spatial distribution of Fasciola spp. in carabao (Bubalus bubalis) and snail intermediate hosts (IHs) in Baybay, Leyte, Philippines.

A longitudinal study of unweaned piglets raised by smallholder farmers in the Philippines.

We conducted a longitudinal study to obtain detailed baseline information about the health and productivity of unweaned piglets raised by smallholder pig raisers in the Philippines, and to identify constraints and opportunities to smallholder-piglet production. At two sites in the Philippines, we collected data about 242 litters from 173 sows in 102 herds during on-farm visits over 12-18 months. Preweaning mortality at the northern and southern sites was 17 and 9%, respectively.

A longitudinal study of sows and boars raised by smallholder farmers in the Philippines.

We conducted a longitudinal study to obtain baseline information about the health and productivity of sows and boars raised by smallholder-pig raisers in the Philippines, and test constraints and opportunities to smallholder-sow production that had been identified previously in a cross-sectional study [More, S.J., Lee, J.

A longitudinal study of growing pigs raised by smallholder farmers in the Philippines.

We conducted a longitudinal study to obtain baseline information about the health and growth of growing pigs raised by smallholder pig raisers in the Philippines, and to test constraints and opportunities to smallholder growing pig production that had been identified in a cross-sectional study [More, S.J., Lee, J.
