Constant antigenic changes, new variants and easy transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus should acquire greater zoonotic attention and need to remain alert. In this retrospective study the aim was to analyze seropositivity to SARS-CoV-2 in dogs by commercial ELISA. The Virus neutralization test (VNT) was modified for the purpose of confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in ELISA-positive dog sera.

- * Fourteen dogs diagnosed with heartworm disease received a specific treatment regimen, including doxycycline and ivermectin, while their blood samples were collected to measure TNF-alpha levels.
- * Results showed that while TNF-alpha was detectable in some dogs at diagnosis, its concentration did not significantly change during treatment or correlate with heartworm antigen levels.
Article Synopsis
- Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) poses serious health risks, particularly to children and the elderly, and this study focuses on its prevalence in dogs in Serbia.
- The research utilized conventional PCR to test 101 dog samples, revealing a 12.87% positivity rate for STEC, with the more dangerous stx2 toxin present in all positive cases.
- The study suggests that dogs, especially those living outdoors, may be significant carriers of STEC, raising concerns about their potential role in transmitting infections to humans.
The "beautiful viviparous fly", , may have a magnificent appearance due to its striking morphology; however, it is a potentially deadly agent of obligate traumatic myiasis in humans and animals, with a serious impact on welfare and economics. The fly is found across the Palearctic realm, including the Western Balkan region, with reports from former Yugoslavian countries from the first half of the 20th century. In this paper, a recent case of wohlfahrtiosis recorded in Northern Serbia is evidenced using morphological and molecular techniques.

However, this cestode occasionally infects various dead-end hosts including humans and other primates and may cause serious pathological implications with potentially fatal outcome. In this paper, we present subcutaneous cysticercosis caused by T.
