“…This parasite is distributed in the tropics and subtropics of the world, and extensive reports from Israel (Aroch et al, 2015), Southeast Asia (Aroch et al, 2015;Hoa et al, 2021), Africa (Greeff et al, 2018), and different regions of Europe (Giannelli et al, 2014;Psader et al, 2017) have been published. In the Americas, S. lupi has been detected in Southern United States of America (USA) in coyotes (Canis latrans), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and bobcats (Lynx rufus) (Pence and Stone, 1978;Morrison and Gier, 1979), in domestic dogs from USA (Pence and Stone, 1978), Mexico (Rodrıǵuez-Vivas et al, 2019), Costa Rica (De Aguiar et al, 2021), andBrazil (Costa Santos et al, 2012), in maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) from Brazil (Blume et al, 2014), Andean foxes (Lycalopex culpaeus) from Peru (Gomez-Puerta et al, 2018) and Chile (Di Cataldo et al, 2023), dogs in Colombia (Santisteban-Arenas and Piedrahita, 2016), bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) in Argentina (Rinas et al, 2009), and dogs in Grenada (Chikweto et al, 2012). Most reports have been done with the observation of eggs in feces or post-mortem macroscopic observation of adult worms in lesions at necropsy, but molecular analyses have been implemented for species confirmation only is some of these reports (Gomez-Puerta et al, 2018).…”
