Molecular screening for Sarcocystidae in muscles of wild birds from Brazil suggests a plethora of intermediate hosts for Sarcocystis falcatula [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
The genus Sarcocystis and the species Toxoplasma gondii are the most prevalent sarcocystid organisms found in birds. Molecular phylogenies based on the first internal transcribed spacer of the ribosomal coding DNA (ITS1) have been widely used to identify

Fatal Systemic Toxoplasmosis by a Novel Non-archetypal Toxoplasma gondii in a Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Toxoplasma gondii is known to cause sporadic clinical disease and fatality in marine mammals worldwide. It has been recognized primarily in odontocetes, pinnipeds, and mustelids; however, there is very limited information available in mysticetes.

Global prevalence of Neospora caninum in rodents: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2192-2200, September 2023., 2023
Graphical Abstract: It is necessary to determine the prevalence of N. caninum in rodents to improve the current understanding of the transmission dynamics of Neospora as well as its life cycle and risk of transmission to livestock. The results of systematic review and meta‐analysis showed a relatively low (5%) but widespread prevalence of N.

Biliary protozoa in a dog with acute cholangiohepatitis fed a raw food diet

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 2177-2180, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract A 1‐year 11‐month intact female Alaskan Malamute fed a raw food diet was referred to the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals for further investigation of hyporexia and increased hepatobiliary enzyme activities. Clinicopathological and imaging findings were consistent with cholangiohepatitis, with coccidial zoites identified on bile cytology ...
