| cercopithifilaria spp. in dogs in sardinia island (italy). | a survey on cercopithifilaria spp. was carried out on owned and kennelled dogs in sardinia, italy. a total of 180 dogs were sampled and tested by microscopic detection or pcr of dermal microfilariae in skin snip sediments. the overall prevalence for cercopithifilaria spp. at both microscopy and molecular tests was 9.4 % (17/180), while 8.3 % (15/180) of dogs scored positive at microscopic detection of sediments only. of the 225 microfilariae measured, 212 were identified as cercopithifilaria bai ... | 2014 | 24271152 |
