“…Furthermore, felines, being a predator, consumption of meat of infected animals put them at risk for Sarcocystosis . Although domestic felines can harbour Sarcocystosis hirsuta, S. arieticanis, S. gigantea, S. fayeri, S. tenella, S. porcifelis and S. muris and others (Bowman, 2014; Dubey, 1976; Soulsby, 2012), we could record four different morphotypes. This indicates an urgent need for further study that clarifies the taxonomic position of these coccidia in Nepalese cats.…”

Introduction: Cats (Felis catus) are the only felines that live in close contact with humans. Since cats can act as vectors, carriers, reservoirs and definitive hosts of many gastrointestinal (GI) parasites, parasitic assessment could contribute to their survival and well-being. Aims:The current study aimed to assess the diversity and prevalence of GI parasites in domestic and feral cats from Ratnanagar in Chitwan in Central Nepal.Methods: A total of 107 fresh faecal samples of cats (90 household cats and 17 feral cats) of varied ages and sex were collected and transported to the laboratory. The copromicroscopic examination was carried out following direct wet mount, formalinethyl acetate sedimentation, saturated salt flotation, acid-fast staining and sporulation techniques. Furthermore, associated risk factors were evaluated to ascertain the predictor of risks for parasitic acquisition. Results:The current study revealed an overall 95.3% prevalence rate with a 100% rate in feral cats and 94.4% in household cats. Altogether, 18 (17 known and one unknown) different species of GI parasites were reported with the helminths (95.3%; 11 species) and the protozoa (55.1%; seven species). Besides age and sex, outdoor lifestyle, absence or unknown history of medication and hunting behaviour of the felines are the predictors of risk. Furthermore, mixed infection was comparatively higher than single infection in the faecal samples.Conclusions: Cats harbour a higher prevalence and greater diversity of GI parasites, and parasitism varies with age and sex. This finding can be essential for veterinarians and public health authorities for strategic treatment and for assessing the zoonotic transmission of the parasites from these felines. Importantly, an effective medication strategy for cats and owners is recommended.

“…To identify A. caninum , the criteria described by Bowman [ 13 ], Botero and Restrepo [ 14 ], and Romero Cabello [ 15 ] were considered. Coproparasitic methods used – direct, flotation, and sedimentation with centrifugation using saline solution – for identification of eggs, and the modified Baermann method was used for identification of larvae.…”

Background Ancylostoma spp. , including A. duodenale, A. braziliense, A. caninum, and A. ceylanicum, are hookworms that are transmitted from infected soil and by contact with domestic animals and rodent hosts, and can cause systemic disease and cutaneous larva migrans. The objective of this study was to describe the ecoepidemiology of Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma spp. in urban-marginal sectors and in rural sectors located in Ecuador. Material/Methods Through addressed sampling, a total of 498 domestic dogs and 40 synanthropic rodents were analyzed via the following coproparasitic methods: direct, flotation, sedimentation with centrifugation using saline (egg identification), modified Baermann (larval identification), and morphometric methods (confirmation). A total of 236 people were surveyed, and a clinical analysis was performed via physical examination. The environmental variables were obtained through reports from the INAMHI of Ecuador and the use of online environmental programs. Through surveys, data related to social determinants were obtained. Epidemiological indicators (prevalence, morbidity, and mortality) were obtained through microbial analysis and surveys. Results A total of 250 domestic dogs were diagnosed with Ancylostoma caninum (50, 20%), and 41 were diagnosed with Ancylostoma spp. (8.23%). One synanthropic rodent (2.5%) was positive for A. caninum . In the clinical analysis, 3 patients were identified as positive (1.27%) for cutaneous larva migrans (CLM). Likewise, environmental variables and social determinants influence the transmission, prevalence, and nature of parasitism by hookworm. Conclusions People, domestic dogs, and rodents were infected with these parasites. Consequently, there is a risk of ancylostomiasis and cutaneous larvae migrans spreading.

“…A. galli exhibits clear sexual dimorphism and is diecious. With a vulva opening roughly in the middle of the body, halfway between the anterior and posterior ends, and an anus at the back end, females are noticeably longer and more robust [25]. It is typical for females to have a blunt, straight tail end.…”

Fowls and their eggs provide animal protein for human populations. Parasites are very common in fowls and heavy infection can affect the growth, and egg production, and cause death. Fowls during feeding pick the parasitic infective stage by ingesting contaminated food, and water. There are two groups of parasites infecting fowls: external (ectoparasites) and internal parasites (endoparasites). The clinical findings of the examined affected chickens showed that symptoms vary from healthy to subclinical symptoms. The main clinical signs were dullness, emaciation and weakness, hemorrhagic enteritis, congestion of ceca, mucoid and watery diarrhea Besides. The research refers found 2 species of lice namely Mencanths stramineus and Goniocotes gallinae. One species of soft tick, from genus Aragas persicus, was recorded. While internal parasites included different types of Eimeria oocysts. The current study did not reveal any blood parasites or Cryptosporidium oocysts in all of the examined fowls. Different types of intestinal nematodes which were recovered with Subulura species followed by large roundworms, Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum, Capillaria. Regarding tapeworms, six species were recorded and identified, which were Raillietina tetragona, R. echinobothrida, R. cesticillus, Fimbriaria fasciolari, Davainea proglottina, and Amoebotaenia sphenoides.
