Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2024.Abstract Spatial overlap between wildlife and related domestic animals can lead to disease transmission, with substantial evidence for viral and bacterial spillover. Domestic and wild animals can also share potentially harmful helminth parasites, many of which have environmental transmission stages that do not require direct contact between hosts.

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2014 Eggs of Toxocara cati were found in the feces of Didelphis albiventris from a peridomestic urban environment in Brazil. Negative fecal tests following short-term captivity of the opossums, as well as the absence of ascaridids during necropsy, suggest the

Evaluating the Toxocara cati extract as a therapeutic agent for allergic airway inflammation
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2024.The hygiene hypothesis suggests that helminth infections can reduce hypersensitivity in the immune system. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Toxocara cati somatic products on allergic airway inflammation. These findings suggest that T. cati somatic extract has the potential as a therapeutic agent for attenuating allergic airway inflammation ...

Detection of zoonotic enteropathogens in captive large felids in Italy
Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 200-209, March 2024.Abstract Aims Within the One Health paradigm, infectious disease surveillance have been developed for domestic and wild animals, leaving the role of captive non‐domestic populations, especially felids in zoos and circuses, less explored. This study addresses the proximity of these captive animals to urban areas, necessitating focused monitoring for ...

Presumed ocular toxocara cati infection in Port Harcourt
International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health, 2018 Toxocariasis is a zoonotic infection transmitted from animals to humans caused by parasitic round worms found in dogs and cats. Ocular toxocariasis is a rare condition caused by toxocara cati that can result in monocular loss of vision. We report an accidental finding of loss of vision in the right eye of a 39-year-old who decided to get an ocular ...
