Zoonotic parasites of bobcats around human landscapes.

Zoonotic helminthic parasites in abdominal cavity of pike- perch, Sander lucioperca, from southeastern part of the Caspian Sea

Some parasites can be transferred from fish to human via eating of contaminated meat and make serious problems in consumers. In the present study zoonotic parasites of abdominal cavity in pike-perch, Sander lucioperca, in south eastern part of the Caspian Sea have been surveyed. In this regard, 30 fish were caught by purse seine net and abdominal cavity, digestive tract and other organs (kidney...

Gene flow and pathogen transmission among bobcats (Lynx rufus) in a fragmented urban landscape.

Urbanization can result in the fragmentation of once contiguous natural landscapes into a patchy habitat interspersed within a growing urban matrix. Animals living in fragmented landscapes often have reduced movement among habitat patches because of avoidance of intervening human development, which potentially leads to both reduced gene flow and pathogen transmission between patches. Mammalian ...

Interspecific interactions between wild felids vary across scales and levels of urbanization

Ongoing global landscape change resulting from urbanization is increasingly linked to changes in species distributions and community interactions. However, relatively little is known about how urbanization influences competitive interactions among mammalian carnivores, particularly related to wild felids. We evaluated interspecific interactions between medium- and large-sized carnivores across ...

Zoonotic Parasitic infections of cats in human community: A histopathological Study

Introduction: Parasitic diseases could be one of the common problems of human society in any time in every place. The animals can passed this infection to human as zoonotic disease. Cats are one of the most important animals that living and eating long with human in society. Therefore feline parasitic zoonosis is threatened human health and cause death and serious disease. For the reason, the p...
