Abstract Here we present the first genomic data for the African wolf (Canis aureus lupaster) and conclusively demonstrate that it is a unique taxon and not a hybrid between other c...

toxoplasma gondii as an apicomplexan zoonotic parasite is able to infect humans and almost all other warm-blooded animals. wild and domestic felids are the main definitive hosts. also, canids such as dogs and jackals have been introduced as mechanical vectors since t. gondii oocysts can pass their intestinal tract and spread by feces in environment. toxoplasmosis is a common zoonotic disease in...

red foxes and golden jackals are the two most abundant wild carnivores of iran which have the ability to adopt a variety of habitats and human proximity. despite this, very few investigations on their helminth and none on their external parasites infections have been carried out in iran. between 2003 and 2004, a total of 79 jackals and 37 foxes were collected from 3 different climatic zones of ...

Side-striped Jackal, Lupulella adusta (Sundevall, 1847), occurs in a vast area within sub-Saharan Africa. In South Africa, the current geographical distribution is limited to eastern coastal regions. Recent sightings from north-central areas of country suggest wider distribution. Here we report on 5,130 confirmed, repeated detections Jackal. Of these, 3,625 captures were 471 new locations not p...

In the north of Algeria, Leishmania infantum is responsible for two clinical forms of leishmaniasis: visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, for which dogs are the only proven reservoir host. In this study, the authors report, for the first time, the isolation of L. infantum from a golden jackal (Canis aureus) trapped in the Illoulen ou Malou region (Grande Kabylie). Two isolates were thus obtain...

The golden jackal Canis aureus occurs in south-eastern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Africa. In Serbia, jackals neared extinction; however, during the last 30 years, the species started to spread quickly and to increase in number. Few studies in the past have revealed their potential role as carriers of zoonotic diseases. Animal samples were collected over a three-year period...

From a migrating golden jackal (Canis aureus), we retrieved 21 live male Dermacentor reticulatus ticks, a species not previously reported from wildlife in Denmark. We identified Rickettsia raoultii from 18 (86%) of the ticks. This bacterium is associated with scalp eschar and neck lymphadenopathy after tick bite syndrome among humans.

The goal of this thesis is to implement and optimize the lattice–Boltzmann method for the distributed shared memory system Jackal. The lattice Boltzmann method is a new and promising alternative to the traditional Navier–Stokes solvers in the domain of computational fluid dynamics. It is based on cellular automata and operates on a domain, were all cells are normalized in space. Because of the ...
