Background Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most common parasitic zoonosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus worldwide. This study investigated genotype diversity of Echinococcus granulosus isolated from stray dogs and golden jackals in Ilam province, West of Iran. Methods Adult worms were collected from the small intestine of the stray dogs and golden jackals from Ilam Province roads...

The problem of the low accuracy Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) in diagnosing transformer faults is addressed by proposing an Improved Golden Jackal Optimization (IGJO) based Stochastic Configuration Network (SCN) method. method fault diagnosis on IGJO optimized SCN proposed. Firstly, Kernel Principal Component (KPCA) used to reduce dimensionality gas data and extract effective feature quantities....

Abstract Background Ticks are hematophagous arthropods which normally attach to the surface of host’s skin. Their aberrant presence in subcutaneous tissue a few carnivores, predominantly foxes, has been reported. However, there have no reports this phenomenon other carnivores such as mustelids or golden jackals. Our aim was investigate host spectrum for localization ticks. Methods Between 2015 ...

Abstract Human-predator conflicts are frequently caused by livestock and/or game depredation. The golden jackal’s ( Canis aureus ) range expansion in Europe, as well the recent re-expansion of several gray wolf lupus populations, might increase risk such conflicts. In Austria, jackal presence has been increasing since 1990s including reports wildlife and kills, occurring provinces Styria Burgen...

BACKGROUND Despite Echinococcus granulosus, there are merely two old reports of E. multilocularis infection among Iranian canids of Moghan Plain, the only area known endemic for the species. We detected specific DNA markers in fecal samples by PCR (Copro-PCR) for differential diagnosis of Echinococcus species in living canids. METHODS Totally 144 fecal samples from domestic dogs, red foxes an...

The first cases of rabies in jackals were reported in 1952, several months after the introduction of domestic dog rabies to Zimbabwe (Foggin, 1988; Swanepoel et al., 1993). A small number of cases were reported during the following years, until 1965 when a large epidemic started in the Mashonaland East area. Since then, several distinct epidemics have been reported. Jackal rabies was reported p...

Jackal is a fine-grained distributed shared memory implementation of the Java programming language. It aims to implement Java’s memory model and allows multithreaded Java programs to run unmodified on a distributed memory system. It employs a multiple-writer cache coherence protocol. In this paper, we report on our analysis of this protocol. We present its formal specification in μCRL, and disc...
