parasites of dogs from indian settlements in northwestern canada: a survey with public health implications.a total of 959 faecal samples were obtained from dogs in 12 native communities in northern saskatchewan, central and northern alberta and the northwest territories. all samples were examined using a flotation technique. samples from an area of endemic human amoebic infections were also examined by a formol-ether sedimentation method. eighteen necropsies were performed. entamoeba histolytica cysts were recovered from dog faeces at loon lake, saskatchewan. toxocara canis had low incidence in saska ...19734265550
sensitivity of double centrifugation sugar fecal flotation for detecting intestinal helminths in coyotes (canis latrans).fecal analysis is commonly used to estimate prevalence and intensity of intestinal helminths in wild carnivores, but few studies have assessed the reliability of fecal flotation compared to analysis of intestinal tracts. we investigated sensitivity of the double centrifugation sugar fecal flotation and kappa agreement between fecal flotation and postmortem examination of intestines for helminths of coyotes (canis latrans). we analyzed 57 coyote carcasses that were collected between october 2010 ...201222740537
enteric parasites of free-roaming, owned, and rural cats in prairie regions of canada.the objective of this study was to determine prevalence, intensity, and zoonotic potential of gastrointestinal parasites in free-roaming and pet cats in urban areas of saskatchewan (sk) and a rural region in southwestern alberta (ab). fecal samples were analyzed using a modified double centrifugation sucrose flotation to detect helminth eggs and coccidian oocysts, and an immunofluorescence assay to detect giardia and cryptosporidium. endoparasite prevalence was higher in samples from rural ab ca ...201525969584
