molecular assessment of hepatozoon (apicomplexa: adeleorina) infections in wild canids and rodents from north africa, with implications for transmission dynamics across taxonomic groups.	parasites play a major role in ecosystems, and understanding of host-parasite interactions is important for predicting parasite transmission dynamics and epidemiology. however, there is still a lack of knowledge about the distribution, diversity, and impact of parasites in wildlife, especially from remote areas. hepatozoon is a genus of apicomplexan parasites that is transmitted by ingestion of infected arthropod vectors. however, alternative modes of transmission have been identified such as tr ...	2014	25050803
nuclear genetic analysis of the red fox across its trans-pacific range.	the red fox (vulpes vulpes) occurs on multiple continents in diverse habitats, making it an informative system for evolutionary genomic research. however, its phylogeography remains unclear. previously, mitochondrial dna and small numbers of nuclear loci provided discordant views. both markers indicated deep divergence (~ 0.5 million years [my]) between eurasian and southern north american populations but differed in the apparent continental affinity of alaskan red foxes, implying some degree of ...	2018	29889225
esophageal infection of spirocerca lupi with vulpes rueppellii in yazd province, iran: case report.	spirocerca lupi is an international nematode of canine and wild carnivores. the generic clinical symptoms are regurgitation, vomiting, and pursiness. the parasite usually procreates nodular masses in the esophagus and pectoral aorta. on july 2014, a four-month male sandy fox was found accidentally killed on the road in bafgh city, southeast of yazd, yazd province, iran during necropsy, referring to esophagus, parasites were collected from esophagus and transmissive up to 70% of alcohol. parasite ...	2020	31673269
