Recolonizing gray wolves increase parasite infection risk in their prey [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 The recent recolonization of Central Europe by the European gray wolf (Canis lupus) provides an opportunity to study the dynamics of parasite transmission for cases when a definitive host returns after a phase of local extinction. We investigated whether

Sarcocystis spp. detection in cattle using different diagnostic methods [PDF]
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2023 : Cattle are considered intermediate hosts of Sarcocystis, which can cause clinical signs and lower performance in the acute phase of infection. Sarcocystis spp. are usually not visible to the naked eye during the post mortem inspection.
