Survey on the prevalence of intestinal parasites in domestic cats (Felis catus Linnaeus, 1758) in central Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 559-571, March 2023., 2023
The current study determined the prevalence and diversity of gastrointestinal parasites in domestic and feral cats from Ratnanagar in Chitwan in Central Nepal. It revealed a 100% rate in feral cats and 94.4% in household cats. Abstract Introduction Cats (Felis catus) are the only felines that live in close contact with humans.

Angiostrongylus chabaudi in felids: New findings and a review of the literature. [PDF]

, 2016
Cardiopulmonary infections by Angiostrongylus chabaudi affect domestic and wild felids but, due to limited information on the biology of this nematode, its pathogenicity remains unclear. This article describes the histopathological alterations associated

Malaria-filaria coinfection in mice makes malarial disease more severe unless filarial infection achieves patency [PDF]

, 2005
Coinfections are common in natural populations, and the literature suggests that helminth coinfection readily affects how the immune system manages malaria.

Parasite genetic diversity does not influence TNF-mediated effects on the virulence of primary rodent malaria infections [PDF]

, 2006
The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is associated with malaria virulence (disease severity) in both rodents and humans.

Gastropods as intermediate hosts of angiostrongylus spp: In the americas. Bioecological characteristics and geographical distribution [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND Intermediate hosts are key organisms in maintaining parasite life cycles, because they can act as amplifiers in the transmission from natural reservoirs to humans.

Mixed allele malaria vaccines: Host protection and within-host selection [PDF]

, 2008
Malaria parasites are frequently polymorphic at the antigenic tat-gets of many candidate vaccines, presumably as a consequence of selection pressure from protective immune responses.
