In order to determine prevalence of Echinoccocus and other intestinal helminths infection one hundred stray dogs were examined in Mashhad area, Khorasan province of Iran. Helminths were collected from intestinal contents obtained at the time necropsy. Ninety one percent of the dogs were infected by different helminths. The prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus was (22%). Eighteen (81%) of inf...

Abstract Background Cystic echinococcosis is one of the most severe helminth zoonosis with a drastic impact on human health and livestock industry. Investigating optimal control strategy assessing crucial factors are essential for developing countermeasures to mitigate this disease. Methods Two compartment models were formulated study dynamics cystic transmission, evaluate effectiveness various...

Power transformers represent the largest portion of capital investment in transmission and distribution substations. In addition, power transformer outages have a considerable economic impact on the operation of an electrical network. One of the most important parameters’ governing a transformer’s life expectancy is the hot-spot temperature value. Due to under estimation of stray losses in powe...

Over 20,000 rabies deaths occur annually in India, representing one-third of global human rabies. The Indian state of Tamil Nadu has pioneered a "One Health" committee to address the challenge of rabies in dogs and humans. Currently, rabies control in Tamil Nadu involves postexposure vaccination of humans after dog bites, whereas potential supplemental approaches include canine vaccination and ...

Dogs and a few other mammalian species such as cats, jackals, monkeys and mongooses live in close proximity to human establishments, which accounts for a large number of animal exposures every year. Canine transmission causes the vast majority of rabies cases in 1ndia.l In Thailand, nearly 90.6% of rabies cases are caused by canine exposure.2 One in 10 stray dogs in that country are reported to...

24 To explore the genetic diversity, host specificity and zoonotic potential of Enterocytozoon 25 bieneusi, feces from 348 stray and pet dogs, and 96 pet cats from different locations in China 26 were examined by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) based PCR. E. bieneusi was detected in 27 15.5% of dogs including 20.5% of stray dogs and 11.7% of pet dogs, and in 11.5% of pet 28 cats. Higher infec...

BACKGROUND Dirofilaria immitis is an important parasite in dog and other carnivores. Our objective was study on incidence and periodicity of heartworm in north of Iran and using other methods for its diagnosis in addition to Parasitology exam. METHODS This survey spanned two years, between 2006 and 2008. Blood samples were collected from 431 stray dogs distributed along north of Iran, the coa...

Leptospira reactivity in stray and household dogs in Campeche as well as associated risk factors to the seropositivity in household dogs have been herein determined. The survey included 323 dogs, 142 of which were stray dogs and 181 household dogs. Nine Leptospira interrogans serovars were tested by the microagglutination test. Reactivity was 21.3 % (69/323), 17.2 % corresponded to household do...

Abstract: In order to analyze the distribution rules and influence of stray current on subway rectangulartunneland subway Shield tunnel, threedimensional models were built separately. By changing the values of carry-current, ansys was used toanalyzeunder different geological conditions.Simulations show that the potential attenuation is nonlinear from the subway tunnel to the surrounding undergr...

in the present study 6500 stray dogs were killed in 1993-4 to initiate a preliminary control program in rural and urban areas of the city of kerman. 391 dogs including 169 (43.12%) females and 222 (56.8%) males were selected randomly, dissected and examined for echinococcus granulosus and microscopically. the overall prevalence rate was 7.4%. the younger dogs were more susceptible to infection ...
