| a study on intestinal helminthes of dogs, foxes and jackals in the western part of iran. | human infection especially with helminth parasites is an emerging health issue, as the human environment is increasingly shared with infected animals, either pets or wild life. in this survey, the intestinal content of 83 stray dogs, 22 red foxes and 10 golden jackals collected from the west azarbaijan, kordestan and kermanshah provinces in the west of iran, were studied for the presence of helminth parasites. the percentage of different species recovered from these animals is listed as follows: ... | 2006 | 16899340 |

| echinococcus in the wild carnivores and stray dogs of northern tunisia: the results of a pilot survey. | echinococcus granulosus is endemic throughout tunisia and e. multilocularis has previously been reported as the cause of two cases of human alveolar echinococcosis in the north-west of the country. the aim of the present study was to screen wild carnivores from the north-western jendouba governorate and semi-stray dogs from the siliana and sejnane regions of northern tunisia for these two zoonotic cestodes. the results of the coproscopy, coproelisa and copropcr that were undertaken were compared ... | 2009 | 19508750 |
| differential detection of echinococcus spp. copro-dna by nested-pcr in domestic and wild definitive hosts in moghan plain, iran. | despite echinococcus granulosus, there are merely two old reports of e. multilocularis infection among iranian canids of moghan plain, the only area known endemic for the species. we detected specific dna markers in fecal samples by pcr (copro-pcr) for differential diagnosis of echinococcus species in living canids. | 2013 | 23682268 |
| road killed carnivores illustrate the status of zoonotic helminthes in caspian sea littoral of iran. | carnivore carcasses on the roads can be regarded as study materials in parasitology and eco-epidemiology. stray carnivores such as dogs and cats are known to harbor so many different pathogens like zoonotic helminthes. the current investigation, apparent the status of the helminthic parasites found in road killed carnivores from different parts of guilan province north of iran. | 2017 | 28761483 |
