| 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 ... | 2012 | 22740537 |
| infection of a goeldi's monkey (callimico goeldii) with a european strain of echinococcus multilocularis in a canadian institution. | a 12-yr-old female goeldi's monkey (callimico goeldii) in british columbia, canada was diagnosed with alveolar echinococcosis (ae) on postmortem examination. echinococcus multilocularis has been identified in several species of nonhuman primates, most frequently old world primates, in zoos and research facilities in europe and asia. the strain affecting this monkey was identified as a european haplotype, indistinguishable from e. multilocularis recently identified in several canids in british co ... | 2015 | 26056899 |
| echinococcus multilocularis in urban coyotes, alberta, canada. | echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonotic parasite in wild canids. we determined its frequency in urban coyotes (canis latrans) in alberta, canada. we detected e. multilocularis in 23 of 91 coyotes in this region. this parasite is a public health concern throughout the northern hemisphere, partly because of increased urbanization of wild canids. | 2012 | 23017505 |
| oslerus osleri (metastrongyloidea; filaroididae) in gray wolves (canis lupus) from banff national park, alberta, canada. | oslerus osleri is a filaroid parasite of the respiratory tract of canids. in north america, it is most commonly reported from coyotes (canis latrans) and domestic dogs (canis lupus familiaris), but reports in gray wolves (canis lupus) are infrequent. we report a new geographic record for o. osleri in four gray wolves from banff national park, alberta, canada. adult nematodes found in nodules in the submucosa of the trachea and bronchi were identified as o. osleri based on morphometry of spicules ... | 2013 | 23568921 |
| urbanization, grassland, and diet influence coyote (canis latrans) parasitism structure. | land use change can alter the ecological mechanisms that influence infectious disease exposure in animal populations. however, few studies have empirically integrated the environmental, spatial, and dietary patterns of wildlife epidemiology. we investigate how urbanization, habitat type, and dietary behavior are associated with coyote (canis latrans) parasitism structure along a gradient of rural to urban land cover using multivariate redundancy analyses. coyote fecal samples were collected in e ... | 2015 | 26122205 |
| secondary poisoning of eagles following intentional poisoning of coyotes with anticholinesterase pesticides in western canada. | records of eagles, coyotes (canis latrans), and red foxes (vulpes vulpes) necropsied at the western college of veterinary medicine, saskatoon, saskatchewan, canada, between 1967 and 2002 were reviewed for cases suggestive of anticholinesterase poisoning. from 1993 to 2002, 54 putative poisoning incidents involving 70 bald eagles (haliaeetus leucocephalus) and 10 golden eagles (aquila chrysaetus) were identified. of these, 50 incidents occurred in saskatchewan, two were in manitoba, and one occur ... | 2004 | 15362815 |
| oral papillomatosis in coyotes (canis latrans) and wolves (canis lupus) of alberta. | twelve cases of oral papillomatosis were detected in wild carnivores of alberta, ten in coyotes (canis latrans) and two in wolves (canis lupus). lesions ranged from mild with a few small papillomas to severe with much of the surface of the lips, tongue and buccal cavity covered with papillomas. three of five coyotes with severe papillomatosis were in obvious poor health. the gross and histologic lesions are described and the significance of this disease in wild carnivores is discussed. | 1978 | 650780 |
| the molecular epidemiology of cryptosporidium and giardia infections in coyotes from alberta, canada, and observations on some cohabiting parasites. | coyotes from southern alberta and saskatchewan, canada, were examined for the presence of giardia and cryptosporidium and cohabiting helminths. toxascaris was present in over 90% of the 70 animals examined, and taenia sp. in 6.5-25% of the two groups of animals studied. giardia (12.5-21.7%) and cryptosporidium (0-17.4%) were also common and molecular characterisation revealed both zoonotic and host-adapted genotypes of giardia, whereas the cryptosporidium proved to be a variant of the canine spe ... | 2009 | 19019549 |
