The Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) is the causative agent of a complex infection present in wide range hosts. It pathogen that affects various orders species, including primates, cetaceans, and families carnivores. should be noted virus can transmitted to wildlife, aquatic carnivores, through contact with domestic canids. This route transmission increasingly common, due fact species invade habita...

background: surveillance of the canine reservoir is highly important to help control of visceral leishmaniasis in human. it is therefore imperative to improve and develop new tools reliable, easy to use, and cheap for the diagnosis of canine leishmani asis. k39 sub recombinant antigen of leishmania infantum was expressed in prokaryotic system and evaluated for sero-diagnosis of canine visceral ...

Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil is caused by Leishmania infantum parasites and is transmitted by sand flies of the Phlebotominae family. Dogs are the main urban reservoirs and represent the major source of contagion for the vectors. Studies have shown that most infected dogs are polymerase chain reaction-positive months before seroconversion. Herein, we describe a cohort study designe...

Canine distemper and pulmonary sarcocystosis were diagnosed in a 10-week-old Rottweiler with 4-day history of diarrhea, vomiting, and weakness. Microscopic examination of the lung revealed bronchointerstitial pneumonia typical of morbillivirus infection. Also, numerous apicomplexan parasites were scattered in the alveolar walls. This protozoan infection was first thought to be toxoplasmosis but...

Dogs play an important role in transmission of Leishmania infantum, but epidemiologic and clinical studies canine tegumentary leishmaniasis (CTL) are scarce. In endemic area human American (ATL) caused by braziliensis, we determine the prevalence incidence both CTL subclinical (SC) L. braziliensis infection dogs evaluated if presence with or SC is associated occurrence ATL. healthy animals ulce...
