Canine angiostrongylosis, caused by the nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum, is an emerging and spreading disease with an increasing number of cases diagnosed in European countries in the last few years; nevertheless, little information is available in Portugal. The prevalence of A. vasorum antigens was assessed with a rapid test (Angio Detect™) in 400 dogs from four […]

BACKGROUND: Parasitic diseases of companion animals comprise a group of globally distributed and rapidly spreading illnesses that are caused by a wide range of arthropods, helminths and protozoa. In addition to their veterinary importance, many of these parasites can also affect the human population, due to their zoonotic potential. The aim of the present work […]

The so-called canine vector-borne diseases (CVBD) are caused by a wide range of pathogens transmitted by arthropods. In addition to their veterinary importance, many of these canine vector-borne pathogens can also affect the human population due to their zoonotic potential, a situation that requires a One Health approach. As the prevalence of vector-borne pathogens in […]
