“…Moreover, in agreement with other studies (Al-naemi HS, 2011 ; Binkowski et al , 2016 ), the Cd concentration depended on the animal age, showing lower concentration in the younger buffaloes (<6 months) than in the older ones (groups B and C). This correlation was confirmed by the classes of homogeneity constructed that, although different in number, were optimal since the dispersion around the average was low within the groups ( Table 1 ).…”

“…Among the relationships studied, the strongest occurred in Cd concentrations between liver tissue and kidney tissue (r = 0,8318 in the samples of the Campania region and r = 0,8421 in the samples of the Apulia region) ( Table 2 ). This relationship was generally known and was described in many species (Binkowski et al , 2016 ; Binkowski and Sawicka-Kapusta, 2015a ; Nordberg et al , 2007 ). In fact, the liver and kidneys are especially prone to xenobiotic induced injury due to their central role in xenobiotic metabolism (Massanyi et al , 2014 ).…”

“…Non-essential elements are very resistant to natural degradation and keep their toxicity unchanged for a long time; for this reason, their environmental concentration should be monitored and maintained at very low levels (Lara et al , 2012 ; Paslack e t al. , 2014 ; Binkowski et al , 2016 ).…”

Cadmium (Cd) concentrations were evaluated in the samples of kidney, liver and muscle of sixty-six buffaloes regularly slaughtered. Forty were raised in Campania, in the territory between the province of Naples and Caserta and twenty-six were bred in Apulia, in the province of Bari. Two aliquots were prepared for the renal and hepatic samples: one intended for the chemical analysis and the other one intended for histological investigations. Muscle samples were the subject of purely chemical investigation. In the group of forty animals raised in the Campania region, the limits imposed by EC Reg. 1881/2006 and EC Reg. 488/2014 were exceeded in three renal samples, which showed values of 1.53, 1.22 and 1.1 mg/kg respectively; in three hepatic samples, which presented values of 0.72, 0.64 and 0.61 mg/kg, and in five muscle samples, with values of 0.16, 0.16, 0.09, 0.08 and 0.07, respectively. On the other hand, in the group of animals raised and slaughtered in the province of Bari, none of the twenty-six samples examined exceeded the limits imposed by the European regulations. The histological analysis showed typical, but not pathognomonic lesions in the renal samples from the animals raised in the provinces of Naples and Caserta. The levels of Cd contamination found in the samples examined suggest that it would be correct to exclude from the human consumption, as it happens for the equines, the kidney and the liver, especially from the animals raised in some geographical areas with a high rate of pollution.

“…Similarly high prevalence in red foxes and raccoon dogs in Lithuania was detected by Bruzinskite-Schmidhalter et al (7). High percentage of red foxes infected with Alaria alata was also found in central-eastern Poland (6, 13) but in other regions (western provinces) these flukes were relatively rarely noted (2,3,22). It was probably connected with different environmental conditions and access to intermediate hosts.…”

Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal helminths in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in the Augustów Primeval Forest (north-eastern Poland), with particular regard to zoonotic parasites. Material and Methods: Intestines from 53 raccoon dogs and 66 red foxes were examined with the use of sedimentation and counting technique (SCT). Samples of faeces from 51 red foxes and 50 raccoon dogs were examined with the use of flotation method. Results: Parasitic helminths were found by SCT in 98.5% of red foxes and 96.2% of raccoon dogs. Both species were infected with: Alaria alata (93.9% and 94.3%, respectively), hookworms (68.2% and 83.0%), Apophallus spp. (7.6% and 15.1%), Mesocestoides spp. (57.6% and 24.5%), Taenia spp. (40.9% and 1.9%), and Toxocara/Toxascaris nematodes (33.3% 15.1%). Echinococcus multilocularis was detected only in red foxes (6.1%), but trematodes Echinostomatidae and nematodes Molineus spp. only in raccoon dogs (18.9% and 41.5%, respectively). Additionally, Capillaria spp. eggs were detected by flotation method in 78.4% of foxes and 20.0% of raccoon dogs. Conclusion: The study showed a very high percentage of red foxes and raccoon dogs infected with intestinal helminths in the Augustów Primeval Forest. Moreover, dangerous zoonotic parasites also were found, which should be taken into consideration in the assessment of infection risk for humans in this region.

Abstract-Study is focused on the concentration of selected elements that affect the living organism as well as individual organs. Samples of uterus and ovaries of dogs and cats were analyzed using absorption spectrometry. The average, minimum and maximum concentrations in the samples were detected and subsequently the correlations between elements were calculated. The average concentration of sodium, potassium, iron and zinc were higher in cats. Higher concentration of calcium and copper were found in the bitch samples. The cadmium concentration in cats was slightly higher compared to bitch. Lead concentrations in the samples of studied cats were 0.28±0.16 mg/kg and in female dogs were 0.24±0.14 mg/kg, mercury concentration reached the 0.01±0.01 mg/kg for cats and 0.00±0.00 mg/kg for dogs. In cats, a strong negative correlation between sodium and calcium, and a strong positive correlation between the potassium and the calcium and copper and zinc were found. Correlation analysis in female dogs showed strong correlation between sodium and potassium, sodium and copper, potassium and zinc, potassium and cadmium, potassium and lead, iron and mercury, calcium and copper, calcium and mercury, copper and zinc, copper and cadmium as well as the lead and copper and a strong positive correlation between sodium and zinc, sodium and cadmium, sodium and lead, iron and calcium, zinc and cadmium, zinc and lead, and the lead and cadmium. Pets can serve as indicators of environmental metal pollution monitored since as they inhabit the same space as men and are exposed to the same contaminants. Correlations observed for analyzed elements indicate interrelationships of monitored elements in the animal reproductive organs.
