| presence of thelazia callipaeda railliet & henry, 1910, in piedmont, italy. | a sample of 314 dogs from a zone of 80,000 ha in piedmont, italy, were examined for the presence of thelaziae under the nictitating membrane. sixteen animals from eight districts were infected, the foothills being the main location of the parasitosis. all 44 nematodes collected were identified as thelazia callipaeda. | 1989 | 2486995 |
| [giovanni martinotti and experimental pancreatectomy, a century ago]. | on july 13th, 1888, giovanni martinotti (1857-1928) announced in torino the feasibility of a total pancreatectomy in the dog. the essential details for a successful outcome of the operation, as described by martinotti, were employed by oscar minkowski (1859-1931) in strassburg for the demonstration of diabetes after total removal of pancreas in the dog, on may 22nd, 1889. martinotti's work deserves a reevaluation in the history of diabetology. | 1989 | 2519500 |
| epidemiology of dermatophytosis in the metropolitan area of turin. | the study here presented deals with the problem of the dermatophytoses in piedmont, with regard to their etiologic and, more generally, their epidemiologic aspects. from 586 patients who presented themselves at the dermatology clinic of the university of turin, for mycological examinations, between the period of march-november 1979, 100 positive cases were selected. the study was set under way with the filling in of special forms for the epidemiologic investigation and with the classification of ... | 1982 | 7177169 |
| an epidemiological study of canine filarioses in north-west italy: what has changed in 25 years? | a field survey aimed at updating knowledge of the distribution and prevalence of filarial infections in the piedmont region was undertaken. blood samples were collected from 2628 dogs (10-15 dogs/100 km2) which had remained in the local area, were kept in the open overnight, were more than 2 years old and had not previously been treated with microfilaricidal drugs. infection was diagnosed by a modified knott test. comparison of the results with those from a similar survey carried out 25 years ag ... | 1996 | 8865572 |
| [research on culicidae attracted to dog bait in piedmont]. | dog attracted mosquitoes were collected in piedmont (nw italy) in 1992 and 1993. sampling sites where chosen on ecological and epidemiological basis, according to the results of a previous study on the distribution and prevalence of canine filariosis in this region. dog baited traps were operated monthly (two nights/site from june to september) in six plain sites differing in the prevalence of heartworm infected dogs (including two sites where no positivity was recorded). a single capture was ca ... | 1998 | 10645556 |
| associations between dogs that were serologically positive for rickettsia conorii relative to the residences of two human cases of mediterranean spotted fever in piemonte (italy). | a geographic information system and k-function analysis were used to evaluate the spatial association of canine serological results for rickettsia conorii, the causative agent of mediterranean spotted fever (msf), and clinical cases of msf in humans in piemonte, northwest italy. the residences of dog owners were clustered in two rural villages in the province of cuneo, where two human cases of msf occurred in 1997 and 1998. eighteen out of 116 dogs examined were positive by indirect immunofluore ... | 2003 | 12900146 |

| current status and epidemiological observation of thelazia callipaeda (spirurida, thelaziidae) in dogs, cats and foxes in italy: a "coincidence" or a parasitic disease of the old continent? | thelazia callipaeda is a spirurid nematode which causes ocular infections in dogs and man and, occasionally, in cats, foxes and rabbits. the intermediate host and vector of t. callipaeda is unknown. for a long time t. callipaeda incidence was reported only from the russian federation and the far east, but recently it has also been found in italy. in order to investigate the spread of t. callipaeda in italy, a survey was carried out in two sites, site a in the piedmont region (north west italy), ... | 2003 | 14580802 |
| [monitoring of canine leishmaniasis in northern italy: an update from a scientific network]. | canine leishmaniasis (canl) due to leishmania infantum is a disease of great veterinary importance and a serious public health problem. in humans, l. infantum causes visceral (vl) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) and the distribution of vl overlaps that of canl. currently, vl is considered by who as an emerging zoonosis in southern europe. the dog is the only domestic reservoir of the infection and phlebotomine sandflies are the only proven vectors of leishmaniasis for dogs and humans. canl is e ... | 2004 | 15305715 |
| dogs' parasite and zoonotic risk: from old to new "emergencies" in the north-west of italy. | toxocariasis due to soil contamination from dog and cat faeces has been long described and represents one of the zoonotic risk linked with pets presence in human settlements. soil samples were collected from private backyards and school playgrounds in turin and tested for the presence of toxocara spp. eggs. samples from dogs and cats living in the same area were also analysed and our results seem to indicate a decrease in soil contamination respect to a survey carried out in 1985. considering th ... | 2006 | 16881410 |
| asymptomatic leishmania infantum infection in an area of northwestern italy (piedmont region) where such infections are traditionally nonendemic. | the prevalence of leishmania infantum-specific antibodies and asymptomatic infection was assessed in a randomized sample of 526 healthy adults from a continental area of northwestern italy where l. infantum is not endemic and where autochthonous cases of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) were recently reported. l. infantum-specific antibodies were detected by western blotting (wb) in 39 subjects (7.41%), while l. infantum kinetoplast dna was amplified from buffy coat in 21 out of 39 wb-positive subjec ... | 2010 | 19923480 |
| eucoleus boehmi infection in red fox (vulpes vulpes) from italy. | in the last decade an increase of the number of red foxes in anthropized habitats across european countries, including italy, has been observed. this pones implications in terms of disease transmission between wildlife and domestic animals; in fact, there are evidences of the role of foxes as reservoirs and amplifiers of a broad spectrum of parasites infecting pets. the present study evaluated the prevalence of eucoleus boehmi, an emerging extra-intestinal nematodes of the capillariinae subfamil ... | 2014 | 25458564 |
