Article Synopsis
- * The most common parasites identified included Ancylostoma spp, Uncinaria spp, and Toxocara canis, with some dogs showing mixed infections.
- * The research indicates a higher risk of contamination as single infections were more frequent in older dogs, suggesting potential zoonotic transmission to humans.
This study comprises 3 experiments exploring the possible benefits and mechanism of action of liposomes for chilling (4°C) canine sperm over a period of 4 days. In the first experiment, 20 ejaculates collected from 5 Beagle dogs were chilled in an extender containing 6% low density lipoproteins (LDL) (Control), or one of 7 extenders containing different concentrations (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20%) of liposomes (LIPO). These ejaculates were chilled over 4 days and motility was assessed daily using a Hamilton Thorne analyzer (HTM-IVOS, 14.
