| evidence for an impact on the incidence of canine leishmaniasis by the mass use of deltamethrin-impregnated dog collars in southern italy. | dogs are the domestic reservoir of leishmania infantum nicolle (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae), the agent of zoonotic human visceral leishmaniasis. in southern europe, where canine leishmaniasis (canl) is widespread due to l. infantum, killing seropositive dogs is considered unacceptable and drug treatment has low efficacy in preventing transmission. we made a field evaluation of the efficacy of deltamethrin dog collars in a canl focus of southern italy, mount vesuvius area of campania region ... | 2001 | 11776454 |
| a prevalence survey and risk analysis of filariosis in dogs from the mt. vesuvius area of southern italy. | a dog microfilariae prevalence and risk factor survey was conducted in 51 contiguous municipalities of the mt. vesuvius area (campania region, southern italy) in order to add data to the limited epidemiological information available regarding filarial worms in this zone. between may 1999 and june 2000, blood samples were collected from 351 asymptomatic dogs. blood samples were examined using a modified knott's technique and histochemical staining in order to count and identify microfilariae. the ... | 2001 | 11777604 |
| serological survey of neospora caninum and leishmania infantum co-infection in dogs. | a seroprevalence survey and risk analysis of neospora caninum and leishmania infantum was conducted in dogs from an area of the campania region of southern italy, in order to investigate the co-infection of these two protozoa. blood samples were collected from 1058 asymptomatic dogs over a 18 months period. serum samples were tested for antibodies to n. caninum and to l. infantum using the indirect fluorescent antibody test. epidemiological data (breed, age, sex, and utilization) were collected ... | 2002 | 12079736 |
| [ticks and the pediatrician]. | the match between ticks and pediatricians in italy is usually a seasonal event related to the spring and summer trips and to the increasing of outdoor activity that sun and warm weather allow, both for children and ticks. so cared parents reach emergencies asking for tick removal but more often after the tick has yet been removed by empirical manoeuvres and after the killing and the destruction of the "enemy". we have scheduled, in the years 2002-2003, the 167 children that reached our unit for ... | 2004 | 15305698 |

| updates on cystic echinococcosis (ce) in italy. | an update on cystic echinococcosis (ce) diffusion in italy during 2003-2005 is reported. ce seems to have a sporadic diffusion in the northern part of the country where this disease plays a minor role (prevalence < 1%). recent investigations have shown the occurrence of ce cases in humans from the mountains between reggio emilia and modena, with an average year incidence between 9.4 and 5.6/100,000. in abruzzo prevalences in sheep and cattle are 20.2% and 15.3%, with a fertility of 4.6% and 1.3% ... | 2006 | 16881397 |
| epidemiology and direct medical costs of human leishmaniasis in italy. | in the last decades, visceral leishmaniasis infection rate has increased in western mediterranean areas. epidemiological data show that in italy, especially in some regions, the prevalence of canine form is high. the aim of this study is to evaluate the epidemiological setting of leishmaniasis in italy, according to age groups and geographical areas, and to estimate the associated direct medical costs. | 2007 | 17506235 |
