Article Synopsis
- - Canine dirofilariosis, caused by the parasite Dirofilaria immitis and spread by mosquitoes, is becoming a global concern, especially in humid areas like central and northeastern Argentina.
- - A study in western Argentina found that 51.6% of examined dogs had microfilariae, with Knott's test being the most effective detection method; the likelihood of having microfilariae increased significantly for male, adult, and older dogs.
- - This high prevalence marks an expansion of the disease's geographic reach in Argentina, prompting the need for increased awareness among veterinarians and physicians about its impact on both animals and humans.
Schistosome eggs play a key role in schistosomiasis diagnosis and research. The aim of this work is to morphogenetically study the eggs of found in sub-Saharan migrants present in Spain, analyzing their morphometric variation in relation to the geographical origin of the parasite (Mali, Mauritania and Senegal). Only eggs considered "pure" by genetic characterization (rDNA ITS-2 and mtDNA 1) have been used.
