HIGHLIGHTS • Feline Leishmania strains are phenotypically similar to those from humans and dogs. • Feline, canine, and human strains have a identical susceptibility to drugs. • Parasites isolated from cats can infect feline, canine, and human macrophages. • Feline macrophages are permissive to strains isolated from dogs and humans. ABSTRACT Zoonotic visceral leishmaniosis is a […]

Giardia duodenalis infection in dogs from the metropolitan area of Lisbon, Portugal: prevalence, genotyping and associated risk factors

ABSTRACT Giardia duodenalis is a cosmopolitan enteric protozoan that affects a wide range of vertebrates, including humans and dogs. Genetic characterisation reveals eight different assemblages, with A and B having been found mainly in humans and several other animals, and thus considered potentially zoonotic, while C and D are adapted to infect dogs. This study […]
