Identifying Zoonotic Parasites in Domiciled and Non‐Domiciled Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) Within an Urban Zone of the Eastern State of Mexico

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 6, November 2024.
Stray dogs, particularly females, act as carriers of various zoonotic parasites, posing a significant risk of infection due to their contact with owned dogs. The high prevalence of parasitic agents and the lack of owner awareness underscore the need for improved education and preventive measures to reduce the public health threat.

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 ...
