Parasitary Infestation In A Fox

Abstract

Foxes are a member of Canidae family belonging to carnivora order. There are a lot of fox species all around the world. Human population growth, anthropogenic landscape changes, ameliorated vaccine protocols, laws against hunting, the increasing interest towards wildlife and wild animals resulted in augmented fox population and human-fox interaction. These all have important biologic consequences such as prevention and treatment of zoonotic diseases and endangered species protection. Both sarcoptic mange and coccidiois are two important parasitary diseases seen in foxes. In this case, a young female fox suffering sarcoptic mange and coccidiosis is presented. Haemogram and biochemistry measurements of the patient were between normal intervals except values pointing out a slight anemia. This anemia was thought to be due to parasitary infestations. A therapy schedule including ivermectin, trimetoprim/ sulfa, vitamin-B was applied according to the literature and the treatment was judged as successful. Important conclusions gained from this report have been shared in the result of the case report.

Economic efficiency of using FSCD Bioactive Keratin for the productive qualities of silver foxes

“…Special attention should be paid to protein supplements, which include preparations of hydrolyzed protein keratin, which contains sulfur-containing amino acids that are extremely necessary for the formation of hair cover of fur-bearing animals. In this regard, the actual aspect is not only the study of the effect of functional sulfur-containing feed additive Bioactive Keratin on the quality of fur products, but also the economic efficiency of its use [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…По-видимому, эти значения характеризуют наличие анемии как следствия патологических процессов в организме щенков, наиболее подверженных воздействию возбудителей токсокароза. Анемия в этом случае может развиться также вследствие недостатка железа, витамина В 12 и фолиевой кислоты (4).…”
