BACKGROUND Carnivore carcasses on the roads can be regarded as study materials in parasitology and eco-epidemiology. Stray carnivores such as dogs and cats are known to harbor so many different pathogens like zoonotic helminthes. The current investigation, apparent the status of the helminthic parasites found in road killed carnivores from different parts of Guilan Province north of Iran. MET...

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...

Towards understanding the molecular epidemiology of a severe dog rabies epidemic in the KwaZulu Natal province of South Africa, we analyzed a variable 592 nucleotide genome sequence domain of 170 rabies viruses from KwaZulu Natal and surrounding regions. Viruses from the KwaZulu Natal and Eastern Cape provinces belonged to a unique lineage, circulating as two independent and expanding epidemiol...

in 1969 and 1976, 237 rodents and carnivores collected from the bandar abbas area south of iran was examined fro trichianella spiralis. 23% of foxes, 25% of stray dogs and all three captured golden jackals were found to be infected.

Abstract Recently confirmed expansion of golden jackals ( Canis aureus ) into countries without any previous records poses questions, one them focusing on the species potential and possibly varying habitat use. In this study, we investigated presence distribution in northern Bosnia Herzegovina, where knowledge about jackal use is still scarce. We used bioacoustic stimulation as a non-invasive t...

there are two known epidemic forms of rabies: the urban form in which the dog serves as the reservoir of the virus and the sylvatic form in which wild animals serve as a reservoir. in israel the urban form of the disease was the most prevalent between 1930 and 1960. But this form faded with the introduction, in the 1960’s, of the law enforcing vaccination of dogs and and poisoning of jackals (C...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was genotyping of Echinococcus granulosus isolates from dogs and jackals in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran, and using partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1). METHODS E. granulosus isolates (n = 15) were collected from 42 stray dogs and 16 jackals found in south of the Caspian Sea in northern Iran. After morp...
