Infections with Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Cysticercus pisiformis, Micipsella numidica and seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in European brown hares (Lepus europeus L.) from Bulgaria
Abstract:During the period 2009–2016, brown hares (Lepus europeus L.) from different regions of Bulgaria were investigated for infections with liver parasites as well as for seroprevalence of protozoan Toxoplasma gondii.
