| gastrointestinal parasites in dogs from the island of st. pierre off the south coast of newfoundland. | the present work was performed to survey the gastrointestinal parasites of domestic dogs (canis lupus familiaris) and also to determine if any were infected with angiostrongylus vasorum (french heartworm), on the french island of st. pierre off the south coast of newfoundland. a total of 57 fecal samples were collected and examined for intestinal parasites. the overall prevalence of parasitism was 57.9% and the six species found were: uncinaria stenocephala/ancylostoma caninum (47.4%), toxocara ... | 2009 | 19303213 |
| endoparasites of the coyote (canis latrans), a recent migrant to insular newfoundland. | this study provides the first data on the helminth fauna of the coyote (canis latrans) in insular newfoundland. sixty-nine coyotes were collected between 2001 and 2003 and examined for helminths. a total of 10 helminth species were recorded: the cestodes taenia ovis krabbei (9%), taenia hydatigena (4%), taenia pisiformis (1%), and mesocestoides spp. (5%); and the nematodes toxocara canis (19%), toxascaris leonina (1%), crenosoma vulpis (19%), physaloptera rara (6%), uncinaria stenocephala (3%), ... | 2009 | 19901402 |
| paradoxical vestibular syndrome in a dog from western newfoundland infected with french heartworm (angiostrongylus vasorum). | a dog from western newfoundland was presented with paradoxical vestibular syndrome. first-stage larvae of angiostrongylus vasorum were detected on fecal examination. treatment with milbemycin oxime resulted in resolution of signs. this is the first report of the spread of this parasite to western newfoundland and of paradoxical vestibular syndrome in a dog infected with a. vasorum. | 2016 | 27928171 |
| pathological findings in dogs naturally infected with angiostrongylus vasorum in newfoundland and labrador, canada. | fifty-six dogs from st. john's, newfoundland, canada, were evaluated for angiostrongylus vasorum infection. small numbers of nematodes were found within pulmonary arteries of 6 dogs. larvae were identified in fecal samples in 2 of 6 dogs. all 6 dogs had multifocal granulomatous pneumonia and sometimes foci of chronic thrombosis, which varied from very mild to severe. one dog had extensive pulmonary lesions resulting in cor pulmonale. right heart failure was characterized by right ventricular hyp ... | 2008 | 18182502 |
| serologic detection of angiostrongylus vasorum infection in dogs. | angiostrongylus vasorum, french heartworm, is a metastrongylid nematode infecting the pulmonary arteries and right heart of wild and domestic canids in various regions of the world. infection in dogs can result in fatal cardiopulmonary disease. a single endemic focus of a. vasorum in north america occurs in the southeastern portion of newfoundland, canada. dogs are currently diagnosed by detection of first-stage larvae shed in feces using the baermann technique or fecal flotation. however, these ... | 2008 | 17981397 |
| natural infections of crenosoma vulpis and angiostrongylus vasorum in dogs in atlantic canada and their treatment with milbemycin oxime. | milbemycin oxime was used to treat dogs with natural infections of the fox lungworm, crenosoma vulpis and the french heartworm, angiostrongylus vasorum. crenosomosis was identified in 42 of 202 dogs with clinical signs of coughing, dyspnoea or exercise intolerance by a baermann analysis of faecal samples taken between october 2000 and october 2001. it occurred throughout atlantic canada (new brunswick, newfoundland, nova scotia and prince edward island). the clinical signs resolved and shedding ... | 2004 | 15264484 |
| elucidating the spread of the emerging canid nematode angiostrongylus vasorum between palaearctic and nearctic ecozones. | angiostrongylus vasorum is an emerging parasite that is currently distributed through western europe and parts of south america. an isolated population is also present in newfoundland, canada. this presents a risk of onward spread into north america, but its origin is unknown. to ascertain the phylogeographic relationships and genetic diversity of a. vasorum within the western palaearctic and eastern nearctic ecozones, a total of 143 adult and larval nematode specimens were collected from foxes ... | 2010 | 20139034 |
