Article Synopsis
- Domestic dogs and wild canids like coyotes and red foxes are hosts for a parasitic nematode causing heartworm disease, making understanding environmental infection risks important for domestic dogs.
- Researchers in Québec, Canada, estimated the prevalence of the parasite in coyotes and red foxes, finding infection clusters and using logistic regression to analyze risk factors over time.
- The study found a significant infection prevalence in coyotes, particularly in southwestern Québec, correlating infection rates with temperature-related predictors, which is crucial information for veterinarians creating prevention strategies for domestic dogs.
Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed fecal samples from 423 coyotes and 284 red foxes in Québec, finding a prevalence of Echinococcus spp. and specifically Echinococcus multilocularis in high-risk areas, with rates of 22.7% and 20.5% respectively.
- * The study identified two high-risk areas for infection and concluded that specific factors such as species or location of capture did not significantly influence the infection status of these wild canids.
Clinical mastitis (CM) is one of the most frequent and costly diseases in dairy cows. A frustrating aspect of CM is its recurrent nature. This review was conducted to synthesize knowledge on risk of repeated cases of CM, effects of recurrent CM cases, and risk factors for CM recurrence.
