Cats are important hosts for different zoonotic parasites that can be hazardous to human health. To date, few studies have attempted identify the factors affecting parasitic infections in shelter animals. This study aims analyse presence of endoparasites cats Tartu, Estonia, and endoparasite prevalence intensity. The risk considered were age, location (urban vs rural cats) time spent shelter. I...

Pig production is based on routine deworming and very rarely includes endoparasitological diagnosis. Monitoring pig through a consideration of endoparasites in the herd should be part health program, which will directly translate into amount costs improve condition animals. The aim this study was diagnosis endoparasitic infection sows piglets as an element sustainable production. Parasitologica...

In this study, the nearly complete sequence (14,519 bp) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the entomophagous endoparasite Xenos vesparum (Insecta: Strepsiptera) is described. All protein coding genes (PCGs) are in the arrangement known to be ancestral for insects, but three tRNA genes (trnA, trnS(gcu), and trnL(uag)) have transposed to derived positions and there are three tandem copies of trn...

Abstract Both anthropogenic actions and abiotic parameters, such as rainfall, temperature photoperiod, can affect fruit flower availability for animals, which consequently affects nutritional status thus animals’ health. Herein, we investigated whether factors are related to changes in that lead feeding behavior and, consequently, endoparasite load general health two groups of golden-headed lio...
