and are major parasitic nematodes of dogs. Many environmental and phenological changes have recently modified their geographic patterns in many countries; thus, this study has updated the distribution of and in dog populations of selected regions of Central and Southern Italy. Also, collateral data on other endoparasites affecting the study population have been collected.

The order Passeriformes is the richest and most abundant group of birds, but despite numerous parasites being identified in wild birds, this order has received limited focus. This study analyzed 17 passerines admitted to the Grupo de Rehabilitación de la Fauna Autóctona y su Hábitat (GREFA), a wildlife rehabilitation center in Spain, during October to December 2022. Necropsies were conducted to determine the presence of parasites, and intestinal contents were analyzed using fecal smear, flotation and sedimentation techniques and the McMaster method.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the parasitological conditions of wild ruminants in Vojvodina over four years, focusing on fecal samples from 289 deer (158 red deer and 131 roe deer).
- Researchers identified various parasites, including protozoa, nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes, verifying both single and mixed infections through coprological diagnostic methods.
- The high prevalence rates (89.77% and 92.85% in red and roe deer, respectively, in one hunting ground) highlight the need for health protection programs and control strategies for managing parasitic infections in wild ruminants, which is crucial for hunting sustainability and public health.

The hepatic nematode is a zoonotic parasite primarily parasitising small mammals, but it can infect a wide range of mammal species, including humans. Due to its specific life cycle and transmission pattern, it is one of the least studied helminths in the world. The only documented findings of from Slovakia (former Czechoslovakia) come from the 60s and 70s of the 20th Century, including nine human cases of the infection reported .

Article Synopsis
- Eucoleus aerophilus is a parasite affecting carnivores and occasionally humans, found in 38 countries worldwide.
- A study in Central Europe examined 342 red fox fecal samples for the prevalence of this parasite using PCR methods and found E. aerophilus DNA in 230 samples.
- The research identified 22 genetic variations of E. aerophilus and highlighted the high prevalence of Capillariidae eggs, along with other parasite eggs in the samples, marking it as the first molecular analysis of E. aerophilus in Poland.
