infection in domestic cats: insights from a sanctuary.

, a trematode parasite known for its intricate life cycle, predominantly infests the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts of domestic cats. In this study, we examined feline fecal samples from a cat sanctuary in Metropolitan Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aiming to determine whether, even in such environments, cats retain their atavistic hunting habits, as evidenced by the presence of in fecal samples. The infection diagnosis utilized centrifugal sedimentation in the formalin-ethyl acetate test.

Evaluation of the susceptibility to fipronil of larvae from egg masses incubated at different times of oviposition.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the susceptibility of larvae from different oviposition times to fipronil. The LPT was performed in sextuplicate, at concentrations of 18.75, 37.
