Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...

Equine fasciolosis due to Fasciola hepatica in the Community of Madrid (Spain): First report of a rare parasitic infection in horses

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract We reported for the first time a confirmed case of equine fasciolosis in the Community of Madrid (Spain). Here, we described the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and treatment of the affected horse, as well as the seroprevalence of Fasciola hepatica in the equestrian centre where it was detected.

Rapid identification of Rhodococcus equi by a PCR assay targeting the choE gene [PDF]

, 2003
The actinomycete Rhodococcus equi is an important pathogen of horses and an emerging opportunistic pathogen of humans. Identification of R. equi by classical bacteriological techniques is sometimes difficult, and misclassification of an isolate is not ...

CD8+ T-cell responses to Theileria parva are preferentially directed to a single dominant antigen:Implications for parasite strain-specific immunity [PDF]

, 2009
Although immunodominance of CD8(+) T-cell responses is a well-recognised feature of viral infections, its role in responses to more antigenically complex pathogens is less clear.

First Report of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Galapagos: High Prevalence in Dogs and Circumstantial Evidence for the Role of Rhipicephalus linnaei as Vector

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The current study investigates the presence and prevalence of Anaplasma species in dogs from the Galapagos Islands, focusing on the potential vectorial role of Rhipicephalus linnaei in the transmission of these pathogens. Blood samples were collected from 1221 dogs across four islands, with tick collections for morphological and genetic identification.

Survival of Theileria parva in its nymphal tick vector Rhipicephalus appendiculatus under laboratory and quasi natural conditions [PDF]

, 2003
Groups of nymphal Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Muguga, having a mean of 1 or 9 Theileria parva Muguga-infected salivary gland acini per tick, were kept under quasi-natural conditions at an altitude of 1950 m or 20°C at a relative humidity of 85% in the ...
