| cluster of rabies cases of probable bat origin among red foxes in prince edward island, canada. | between 15 november and 13 december 1993, three cases of rabies of probable bat origin were confirmed in red foxes (vulpes vulpes) from the same area of prince edward island, canada, previously thought to be free of rabies in terrestrial mammals. such clusters have rarely been described in north america. | 1996 | 8722290 |
| trichinella spiralis in sylvatic hosts from prince edward island. | larvae of trichinella sp. were found in two of 208 red foxes (vulpes vulpes) and one of 125 coyotes (canis latrans) obtained from trappers from prince edward island (canada) in 1995 and 1996. a polymerase chain reaction based dna biotyping method revealed the larvae to be isolates of trichinella spiralis. this is the first verified identification of t. spiralis in sylvatic hosts from canada. | 1998 | 9476239 |
| lungworm (crenosoma vulpis) infection in dogs on prince edward island. | crenosoma vulpis is a nematode lungworm that is highly prevalent in the red fox population of atlantic canada. dogs are susceptible to infection with clinical signs consisting primarily of a chronic cough. a recent report of c. vulpis infection in 3 dogs on prince edward island prompted an investigation into the importance of this parasite as a cause of chronic respiratory disease in island dogs. a general prevalence was determined through the necropsy of dogs euthanized at the local humane soci ... | 1999 | 12001335 |
| distribution of crenosoma vulpis and eucoleus aerophilus in the lung of free-ranging red foxes (vulpes vulpes). | crenosoma vulpis and eucoleus aerophilus are nematode parasites that can cause verminous pneumonia in wild carnivores. there is a paucity of information regarding the distribution of parasites in the lungs and the relationship between histopathological and parasitological diagnoses in naturally infected foxes. the objectives of this study were: first, to study the lobar and airway distribution of c. vulpis and e. aerophilus in wild red foxes and second, to investigate the relationship between fe ... | 2005 | 16312245 |
| evaluation of four serological techniques to determine the seroprevalence of neospora caninum in foxes (vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (canis latrans) on prince edward island, canada. | the objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the performance and agreement of serological assays (elisa, ifat, neospora caninum agglutination test and immunoblot) using reference sera and field sera from foxes and coyotes and (2) to estimate the n. caninum seroprevalence in foxes and coyotes on prince edward island, canada. with fox and coyote reference sera the test performance of the elisa, ifat and ib was excellent (100% sensitivity and specificity). nat showed a low sensitivity (50%). s ... | 2007 | 17223270 |
| neospora caninum-like oocysts observed in feces of free-ranging red foxes (vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (canis latrans). | the aim of this study was to examine the feces of free-ranging foxes and coyotes for the presence of neospora caninum oocysts. feces were collected from 271 foxes and 185 coyotes in the canadian province of prince edward island, processed by sucrose flotation, and examined by light microscopy for the presence of coccidian oocysts. in 2 fox and 2 coyote samples, oocysts morphologically and morphometrically similar to oocysts of n. caninum were observed. dna was extracted from these samples and su ... | 2006 | 17304805 |
| babesia (theileria) annae in a red fox (vulpes vulpes) from prince edward island, canada. | a 4-6-mo-old female red fox (vulpes vulpes) was presented to the atlantic veterinary college (avc) teaching hospital, prince edward island, canada. on presentation, the fox was weak and had pale mucous membranes. a complete blood count and a serum biochemistry profile were performed. blood smear examination revealed low numbers of erythrocytes containing centrally to paracentrally located, single, rarely multiple, approximately 1 x 2 microm, oval to round organisms with morphology similar to bab ... | 2010 | 20688661 |
| fecal shedding of toxocara canis and other parasites in foxes and coyotes on prince edward island, canada. | knowledge of parasites shed by wild canids can assist in recognizing risk to human and domestic animal health. our aim was to estimate the prevalence of patent infections with toxocara canis and other parasites in foxes (vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (canis latrans) in prince edward island, canada. identification of parasite species was based on microscopic examination of feces, with the use of a sucrose fecal flotation method. sample collection was performed in winter on carcasses of 271 and 185 h ... | 2013 | 23568915 |
| eucoleus boehmi infection in the nasal conchae and paranasal sinuses of red fox (vulpes vulpes) on prince edward island, canada. | eucoleus boehmi (nematoda: capillariidae) occurs in the nasal conchae and paranasal sinuses of wild and domestic canids. we surveyed the red fox ( vulpes vulpes ) on prince edward island, canada, for e. boehmi infection and characterized the associated histopathology. nasal capillarid infections were detected based on histologic examination of three coronal sections of the nasal cavity and by centrifugal flotation examination (cfe) of rectal feces. capillarids were detected in histologic section ... | 2016 | 26967142 |
| abdominal cysticercosis in a red fox ( vulpes vulpes ). | a large abdominal mass containing numerous cysticerci identified as those of taenia crassiceps (=cysticercus longicollis) was found in the pelvic region of the abdominal cavity of a severely constipated and emaciated red fox ( vulpes vulpes ) in prince edward island, canada. cysticercosis has not previously been reported in a wild canid in north america. | 2017 | 27749195 |
