Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of a disease-causing parasite found in coyotes, which can lead to hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia in domestic dogs.
- Researchers collected 461 splenic samples from coyotes in California and found a 4.8% infection rate, with higher prevalence in certain areas and among rural coyotes.
- The study suggests that coyotes may act as a reservoir for the parasites that can infect domestic dogs, indicating a need for further investigation.
