leishmania infecting man and wild animals in saudi arabia. 4. canine cutaneous leishmaniasis in the eastern province.	cutaneous leishmaniasis was detected in 4 of 117 feral dogs, none of which presented any evidence of visceral involvement, in the al-hassa area of saudi arabia where neither leishmania infantum nor l. tropica are transmitted. the parasites isolated from 3 of the animals were identified by biochemical techniques as l. major, l. arabica and leishmania zymodeme 62 respectively. clinically, and in their histology, the lesions closely resembled those caused in man in the same geographical area by l. ...	1987	3503410
leishmania infecting man and wild animals in saudi arabia. 2. leishmania arabica n. sp.	leishmania arabica n. sp., found in the rodent psammomys obesus in the eastern province of saudi arabia, is described. this parasite, which has also been found in a feral dog in the same area, is distinguished from the common species of the eastern province, l. major zymodeme lon-4, on the basis of its very distinctive isoenzyme profile (zymodeme lon-64) and kinetoplast dna. it is morphologically indistinguishable from l. major. the new parasite has not been found in man to date and its vector i ...	1986	3544354
isolation of tissue cysts of toxoplasma, isospora, hammondia and sarcocystis from camel (camelus dromedarius) meat in saudi arabia.	meat samples were collected from the oesophagus and tongue of 38 camels slaughtered at the main abattoir of al-ahsa city, saudi arabia. five cats and three dogs, conventionally reared and coccidia-free, were caged individually in steel cages. camel meat was pooled, minced and fed to four cats and two dogs. one cat and one dog were not fed meat and were kept as noninfected controls. faecal samples from infected and control animals were examined daily for a period of 2 months after feeding the mea ...	1995	8533274
prevalence of sarcocystis in camels (camelus dromedarius) from al-ahsa, saudi arabia.	the oesophagus, diaphragm and heart of 103 camels slaughtered at al-ahsa abattoir were investigated for infection with sarcocysts. sarcocystis cysts were found in 91 camels (88.35%): in the diaphragm of 79.6%, oesophagus of 72.8% and heart of 71.8%. two morphologically distinct sarcocysts were found. thin-walled cysts (141-400 x 70.5-188 microns) were in all the three indicator organs while the thick-walled cysts (170-194 x 117.5-188 microns) were only found in the oesophagus. experimental feedi ...	1996	8686170
outbreak of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis in saudi arabia.	canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (cme) is a widespread tickborne infection of canids caused by ehrlichia canis, a gram-negative obligatory intracellular bacteria belonging to the family anaplasmataceae. cme is reported to have worldwide distribution, but its presence in a region requires the presence of the vector, the brown dog tick rhipicephalus sanguineus.	2007	18041697
