Proteomic analysis of soluble protein extract of adult Toxocara cati

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2020
Toxocara cati is a cat roundworm and the causative agent of toxocariasis as a cosmopolitan zoonotic disease. As no information has been reported so far, identification of T. cati proteins can be useful for the development of new diagnostic strategies. This study was conducted to identify the major proteins in the adult T.

Impact of the 2014-2016 El Niño on Geohelminth Control in Stray Dogs and Cats Without Anthelmintic Treatment. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Background Soil‐transmitted helminthiases (STHs) in stray dogs and cats, including hookworm infection, strongyloidiasis, and toxocariasis, are prevalent globally. The lack of STH control in these stray animals leads to an increased prevalence of STHs in southern Thailand. Suddenly, the El Niño 2014–2016 induced a 14‐month‐long drought. We thus aimed to
