“…The results of histopathological examination appeared similar with the findings of Bihr and Conboy (1999) and Nevarez et al, (2005). Out of five jackals investigated liver flukes infestation in the bile duct was seen in a case and the parasite could be Opisthorchis sp and most possibly Opisthorchis felineus.…”

Golden jackals is one of the semidomestic wild carnivors of the environment of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) campus and now a days very often share spend their time with native dogs and cats in the gouse food wastes . This is not unusual for jackals to share diseases of dogs and cats. This study was aimed to identify important diseases of golden jackals and categorized to their zoonotic importance. A total of five apparently healthy golden jackals were collected from BAU campus and thorough postmortem examination was carried out during the period from July to December , 2010. Histopathological studies were conducted using routine Hematoxylin & Eosin procedure. The existence of blood parasites were studied by Giemsa's staining. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) & Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) were adopted for the detection of tuberculosis (TB), canine distemper (CD) and avain influenza virus (AI) . Other diseases investigated were liverfluke, whipworm, lungworm, mites and ascariasis. Out of five jackals examined, four were infected with heartworm Dirofilaria immitis. Gross examination of a Jackal at necropsy revealed nodular lesions in lungs and suspected as a case of TB. Acid fast staining and PCR protocol specific for TB could not detect mycobacterium in the nodular lungs lesions. Results of RT-PCR with the extracted RNA from liver showed amplification of 287bp fragment specific for CD viral infection in two cases. This is the first study in Bangladesh describing infection of CD in jackals. Jackals are scavanging in nature and reasonably AI could have present in jackals. RT-PCR protocol specific for matrix protein gene of AI viruses did not amplify any nucleic acid fragment . Results of this study showed that the golden jackals of BAU campus were infected with heartworm, lungworm, liverfluke, whipeworm, ascarids, mites and CD viruses. Extensive investigation is needed to explore the existance of few other important diseases of jackals including bovine and human TB , AI, leishmaniasis, r abies, Toxoplasmosis, Infectious canine hepatitis, Taeniasis and Canine hookworm infestation. heartworm, whipworm and mites have zoonotic importance, therefore, it needs to develop stretagy to prevent their future dessimination in human and other animals.

“…The first stage larvae (200 -300 µm) are coughed up and swallowed; diagnosis is made coprologically using the Baermann technique. Infections in dogs are nonlethal; the clinical signs are characterized by chronic ...... bronchitis and bronchiolitis caused by the enlargement and hyperplasia of bronchial glands resulting in chronic cough (Stockdale & Hulland, 1970;Conboy, 2004;Nevarez et al, 2005). This short communication describes the first identification of C. vulpis in a dog in the Czech Republic.…”

56 SummaryA one-year-old female Shetland Sheepdog was presented with chronic cough. The patient exhibited tachypnea and moist cough, bronchoscopic examination revealed a hyperaemic trachea and mucopurulent exudate affecting the lower bronchi. Nematode parasites were observed during bronchoscopy and were collected by bronchoalveolar lavage. Microscopic examination of the collected fluid confirmed C. vulpis infection; L1 larvae were found in during coproscopy. Although other cases of canine C. vulpis infection have been previously recorded in Europe, the case reported herein is the first in a dog from Czech Republic.

“…It is endemic in red fox (Vulpes vulpes) populations in the northeastern parts of North America and in Europe (Sreter et al 2003;Nevarez et al 2005;Saaed et al 2006), including Italy (Iori et al 1990;Manfredi et al 2003). Since the first report in a domestic dog in the UK (Cobb and Fisher 1992), very few cases in dogs in Europe have been reported in literature, e.g., in Ireland (Reilly et al 2000), Switzerland (Unterer et al 2002), and Germany (Barutzki and Schaper 2003).…”

Crenosoma vulpis is a metastrongylid nematode that infects the bronchi, bronchioles, and trachea of wild and domestic canids and various other carnivores. It is endemic in the red fox population in the north-eastern parts of North America and in Europe, including Italy. Dogs are susceptible to infection with clinical signs consisting primarily in a chronic cough. The present paper reports-to the authors' knowledge-the first case of spontaneous C. vulpis infection in a dog in Italy. In addition, it also reports, for the first time, the use of the FLOTAC technique for C. vulpis diagnosis in canine fecal samples, with results compared to the following four standard copromicroscopic techniques: the Baermann technique, the McMaster technique, the simple flotation technique, and the Wisconsin technique. The results showed that the FLOTAC technique produced mean larvae per gram of feces greater than that produced by the other more widely used diagnostic tools. After the treatment of the C. vulpis infected dog with a single oral dose of 0.5mg/kg milbemycin oxime, the clinical signs resolved and the shedding of larvae ceased. In conclusion, the discovery of C. vulpis for the first time in a dog in Italy indicates that the fox lungworm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of respiratory disease in dogs; in addition, the findings of the comparison study showed that the FLOTAC technique may improve the ability to accurately diagnose canine lungworm infections.
