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 ...
