Full textAbstract:
Toxocariasis is one of the most important parasitic zoonoses affecting human health. The main source of toxocariasis in humans is dog and cat faeces, which are primarily responsible for the contamination of urban areas with Toxocara spp. eggs. In this study, the relationship between dog or/and cat faeces and contamination of sand playgrounds in public parks with Toxocara spp. eggs was investigated. A total of 596 sand and 276 faecal samples (148 dog and 128 cat faeces samples) were collected from 52 public parks in Samsun. Toxocara spp. eggs were identified in 7% of sand samples, 33% of cat faeces samples and 9.5% and dog faeces samples. A positive correlation was found between the presence of faeces and the contamination of sand samples. The incidence of sand contamination was increased 8.3 times if a park contained dog or/and cat faeces, and the incidence was much greater if the faeces were infected with Toxocara spp. ova. Cat faeces had a greater effect on the contamination of sand than did dog faeces. The risk was 12.5 and 27 times greater if a park contained only cat faeces and infected cat faeces, respectively. However, no Toxocara spp. eggs were found in sand samples from parks that contained only dog faeces.

Dogs are an important part of life for many people. Dog ownership can confer various health benefits to their owners, but it also presents some risks. In order to establish if dog owners were aware of these risks, an online survey of dog ownership practices was carried out. The survey was open during the month of January 2022 and received 662 responses regarding 850 individual dogs. Overall, 52% of people reported deworming their dog between zero and twice a year, which is unlikely to reduce the risk of infection to humans. The majority of dog owners (71%) reported disposing of faeces correctly; however, when comparing urban and rural environments, 33% of those in rural environments did not dispose of their dogs’ faeces at all, compared with 3% of people in urban locations. People who obtained their dog during the pandemic brought their dog to the vet and dewormed them more frequently than those who obtained their dog before the pandemic. There were no differences in how faeces was disposed of between these groups. These results indicate that we, as researchers and veterinarians, have much work to do in terms of educating dog owners about the ways in which we can reduce the risk of infection to ourselves and our communities.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAlveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a helminth zoonosis which is encountered only in the northern hemisphere. In central France, the Auvergne region represents the most western and southern extension of this helminthiasis. In 1999, a human case of AE was diagnosed in the southern part of the Cantal department, where AE was supposed absent, and an epidemiological survey was subsequently carried out. The transmission of the zoonosis in the sylvatic and peridomestic definitive hosts was studied, as well as that in the rodent and human intermediate hosts. Eleven red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were shot, and 50 fox faecal deposits were collected. Twelve farm dogs had their faeces taken by rectal touch, and four were checked after arecoline purgation. Optical detection ofEchinococcus multilocularisworms was achieved on fox intestines after scraping, and also on dog stools after arecoline therapy. Coproantigen ELISA assay was performed for the 11 scraping products, for the 50 fox faeces, and for the 12 dog faecal samples. No adult AE agent was observed by microscopy, and the ELISA assay yielded positive results in one of 11 fox intestines, one of 50 fox faeces, and 2 of 12 dog faecal samples. Twenty-five small mammals were trapped, of which 19 wereArvicola terrestriswater voles. One rodent liver exhibited a hepatic lesion consistent with AE. An epidemiological questionnaire was completed in 85 human volunteers, who were also serologically tested for AE. Only one (the case's husband) exhibited a Western-blotting pattern indicative of a low-grade AE infection. The results of this preliminary study suggested a slow AE extension to the south of Cantal department from the northern focus.

AbstractTo determine whether canine faecal contamination may represent a source of environmental contamination with Toxocara canis eggs within the urban area of Florence, a total number of 754 dog faeces were collected in 7 public places and examined by routine floatation technique during one-year period. The total prevalence of intestinal nematode eggs was 8.6 %. Trichuris vulpis (4.6 %) eggs were the most prevalent followed by T. canis (3.6 %) and Ancylostomidae (1.7 %) eggs. Mixed infections included T. canis/T. vulpis (0.7 %), Ancylostomidae/T. canis (0.4 %), and Ancylosto-midae/T. vulpis (0.3 %). Total prevalence of intestinal nematode eggs was significantly higher in spring than in winter (OR = 2.06). Our results indicate a low prevalence of T. canis eggs suggesting that dog faeces left on soil are unlikely to cause high environmental contamination with T. canis eggs in the town of Florence.

Dogs are hosts of parasites with different pathogenicities and zoonotic risks. The aim of our study was to assess factors that could affect the occurrence of endoparasitic infections in dogs using questionnaires for owners and examining canine faeces. Based on the responses of dog owners, we evaluated ways of the preventive and therapeutic use of antiparasitic drugs. One faecal sample was obtained from each dog (391 samples total), and then examined by flotation, larvoscopic, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. We focused on zoonotic tapeworms Echinococcus multilocularis and Taenia crassiceps. The answers in the dog owners’ questionnaires showed that owners most often dewormed their dogs irregularly (96.4%), namely, twice a year (24.3%). In coprological examinations the following parasites were detected: Giardia spp., Cystoisospora ohioensis complex, Neospora caninum/Hammondia heydorni, Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Capillaria spp., Trichuris spp., Angiostrongylus vasorum, Crenosoma vulpis, Ancylostoma spp. and Taenia spp. A total of 4 out of 391 PCR investigated samples of faeces were positive for DNA of Taenia species. Sequences were obtained for 3 of them, confirming 100% identity with T. crassiceps. The zoonotic helminths Toxocara canis were the more prevalent species (9.3%, 4.3%, 1.9% group A, B, C). We consider the presence of T. crassiceps in 3 dog faecal samples to be serious due to its zoonotic potential. Data collected within this study showed that the prevention against endoparasites carried out at the breeders’ discretion is insufficient to ensure the health of their dogs or to cover the risk of zoonotic transmission.

Faecal pollution of recreational bathing waters may derive from point sources of various wastewaters or from more diffuse sources such as run-off of agricultural wastes. The paper describes the application of population similarity studies to the enterococcal flora of various animal faeces and municipal wastewaters as a means of distinguishing human from animal faecal material. A simplified phenotypic testing technique (PhenePlate, PhP) was used to study the fermentation kinetics of eleven carbohydrates by all bacterial isolates. Enterococcal isolates (1,766) from six sources were investigated. Enterococcal population diversity (measured as Simpson's Diversity Index) in wastewater samples was high (mean Di = 0.95) compared with those of non-human faeces. The mean diversity of isolates in seabird faeces was 0.72, in sheep and donkey faeces 0.44, in dog faeces 0.42 and in cattle faeces 0.32. Analysis of population similarity coefficients demonstrated that faeces from sheep and cattle showed the greatest similarity (Sp = 0.72). Sheep and cattle faeces demonstrated a low similarity to municipal wastewater samples. This would suggest that population similarity studies might be a useful tool for distinguishing the relative contributions of municipal wastewater and agricultural run-off to bathing water pollution. The PhP procedure identified a specific PhP type that appears to have high specificity to non-human faeces. It may, therefore, represent an important tool in source tracking. Additional phenotypic and genotypic analysis of PhP types that demonstrate a high degree of source specificity is required. The benefits and limitations of the use of population similarity studies to distinguish pollution sources are discussed in comparison with other source tracking approaches and the implications of these developments for future European Union legislation on the quality of bathing waters are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of dietary addition of coated butyrate on gut health related faecal traits in dogs. A food with or without coated butyrate was tested in a crossover study with 17 dogs. Faecal samples were collected and frozen until analysis for proximate components. Fresh faecal samples were collected for bacterial culturing and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) analysis. The addition of coated butyrate to a dog diet had neither effect on faecal consistency score, dry matter content and faecal production nor on digestibility coefficients. Absolute and relative faecal contents of SCFA were not different for the two foods. The bacterial nitrogen (N) content of the faeces was significantly lower after butyrate addition compared to the control diet. In conclusion, the addition of butyrate to a dog food had no effect on faecal characteristics but the faecal bacterial protein content was significantly reduced by butyrate addition.

Full textAbstract:
We investigated the specificity and sensitivity of two horse-associated markers, HoF597 and Horse mtCytb, and 12 mitochondrial and bacterial markers of six animal species (human, cow, pig, bird, dog, chicken) in the faecal samples of 50 individual horses. Both horse markers were detected in 48 (96%) faecal samples. Cross-reactivity with dog (BacCan545) and pig (P23-2) occurred in 88% and 72% of horse faecal samples, respectively. Several other bacterial and mitochondrial markers of non-target hosts were also detected; however, their specificities were >80%. Analyses of samples from surface waters (n = 11) on or adjacent to properties from which horse faecal samples had been collected showed only the presence of HoF597 but not horse mitochondrial marker. Our data suggest that while bacterial and (or) mitochondrial markers of other animal species may be present in horse faeces, dog and pig markers may predominantly be present in horse faecal samples, which points to their nonspecificity as markers for microbial source tracking. Although HoF597 and Horse mtCytb are highly sensitive and specific for the detection of horse faecal pollution, because of their low numbers, mitochondrial (mtDNA) markers may not be robust for screening surface waters.

Full textAbstract:
Canine faecal PCR assays have recently become commercially available to investigate infectious causes of diarrhoea. Despite an increase in use, there remains uncertainty regarding the clinical relevance of positive test results. To explore this, we performed two retrospective studies: firstly, we described the faecal PCR results and clinical data of 168 dogs seen at The Animal Hospital at Murdoch University, and secondly, we established faecal PCR-based enteric organism profiles in 2025 Western Australian dogs. In the first study, 68% of dogs presented for acute diarrhoea. For the PCR results, Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin gene was most frequently detected (92.9%), followed by Campylobacter spp. (32.7%), canine parvovirus (CPV) (17.3%), Salmonella spp. (8.3%), and Giardia spp. (5.4%). Canine enteric coronavirus and canine distemper virus were rarely detected (<2%), while no dogs tested positive for Cryptosporidium spp.. Antimicrobials were started or switched in 31 dogs. Forty-five dogs were CPV antigen-test negative, of which 13 were PCR-positive. In the second study, a commercial laboratory provided 2025 canine faecal PCR results from dogs in Western Australia over a three-year period. Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin gene was most frequently detected (87.2%), followed by Campylobacter spp. (37.8%), CPV (10.5%), Giardia spp. (9.7%), Salmonella spp. (7.0%), canine enteric coronavirus (2.3%), canine distemper virus (0.3%) and no cases of Cryptosporidium spp.. Multiple organisms were detected in 46% of dogs. Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin gene is highly prevalent in the Western Australian dog population that underwent faecal PCR testing. While Clostridium perfringens has been implicated in acute haemorrhagic diarrhoea syndrome, its clinical relevance is still unclear. Thus we propose a prospective clinical trial evaluating antimicrobial use in dogs with this syndrome. Also, a healthy dog PCR study will help veterinarians interpret positive faecal PCR results in dogs with acute diarrhoea.

A variety of faecal examination methods have shown variable sensitivity in identifying larvated Spirocerca lupi (S. lupi) eggs. The purpose of this study was to determine which faecal examination method, including a novel modified centrifugal flotation method, was most sensitive in the diagnosis of spirocercosis. Faeces were collected from 33 dogs diagnosed with spirocercosis by oesophageal endoscopy at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital between 2008 and 2009. If the first evaluation was negative, a second faecal sample was evaluated 24-48 h later. Ten faecal examinations using 1 g aliquots of faeces were performed per sample. Four faecal examination methods were evaluated; direct faecal examination using saline, direct faecal flotation, a modified faecal centrifugal flotation and a laboratory performed faecal sedimentation/flotation. The direct and modified centrifugal flotation methods were each performed using four faecal flotation solutions; NaNO3 (Specific gravity (SG) 1.22), MgSO4 (SG 1.29), ZnSO4 (SG 1.30) and saturated sugar (SG 1.27). The sedimentation/flotation method utilized MgSO4 (SG 1.29). The modified centrifugal flotation method required centrifugation (1400 G) of a prepared faecal suspension (1 g faeces suspended in 5 ml of flotation solution) after which 0.1 ml of the supernatant was aspirated from the surface using an adjustable volume micropipette for microscopic examination. The 10 faecal examination tests were statistically analysed using the Friedman test (nonparametric equivalent of analysis of variance) p=0.000, z value = 0.05. The sensitivity of the tests ranged between 42 % and 67 %, with the NaNO3 solution showing the highest sensitivity in both the direct and modified centrifugal flotation methods. The modified NaNO3 centrifugal method ranked first with the highest mean egg cell count (45.24 ± 83). The modified centrifugal NaNO3 method was found to be superior (i.e. higher egg counts) and significantly different (p<0.001) compared with the routine saturated sugar, ZnSO4 and MgSO4 flotation methods. The direct flotation method/technique using NaNO3 flotation fluid was also superior and significantly different (p<0.001) when compared to the same technique using ZnSO4 or MgSO4 flotation fluids. Neoplastic transformation of oesophageal nodules was confirmed in 15 % (n=5) of dogs and a further 18 % (n=6) had both neoplastic and non-neoplastic oesophageal nodules. S. lupi eggs were demonstrated in 40 % of dogs with neoplastic nodules and in 72.9 % of dogs with non-neoplastic nodules. The mean egg count in the non-neoplastic group (61) was statistically greater (p=0.02) than that of the neoplastic group (1). The results show that faecal examination using the direct and modified centrifugal flotation methods with the NaNO3 flotation fluid are the most sensitive methods in the diagnosis of spirocercosis. The modified centrifugal flotation method using this solution has the highest mean egg count. The study also found that dogs with neoplastic nodules shed significantly fewer eggs than dogs with non-neoplastic nodules. CopyrightDissertation (MMedVet)--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
Canine infections with antimicrobial resistant (AMR), particularly multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria are increasing, severely limiting therapeutic options, and representing an animal health issue. In addition, with potential transfer of AMR bacteria between dogs, their environment, humans and other animals, there may also be a public health risk. Commensal isolates can be a source of clinical infections and studies reporting the prevalence of AMR and risk factors for such isolates are important. Furthermore, one of the most significant impacts upon commensal bacterial populations is antimicrobial therapy that may select for pre-existing AMR organisms or transmission of resistance determinants. The aim of this work was to investigate AMR amongst canine commensal bacterial populations and the effects of five different antimicrobials, authorised to treat dogs in the UK, on these populations both during and after therapy. Three groups of dogs were enrolled: healthy non-antimicrobial treated, non-vet visiting dogs (n = 28), to investigate longitudinal carriage of faecal E. coli; healthy non-antimicrobial treated, non-vet visiting, dogs (n = 73) and antimicrobial treated, non-hospitalised dogs (n = 127) to investigate longitudinal carriage of mucosal staphylococci and faecal E. coli. Staphylococci and E. coli isolated from swabs (nose/perineum) and faecal samples respectively, were tested for phenotypic AMR and carriage of resistance genes by PCR assay. Staphylococci were assigned to species by PCR assay (nuc gene), MALDI-TOF-MS and sequencing (tuf gene). Healthy dog E. coli underwent phylo-typing, and a selection of longitudinal healthy dog E. coli isolates were genotyped. Questionnaire data were used to formulate independent variables. Statistical analysis included Pearson’s Chi-square, survival analysis and multivariable logistic regression; multilevel for clustered data. The prevalence of meticillin-resistant (MR; 42%) and MDR staphylococci (resistant to ≥ 3 antimicrobial classes; 34%) was high amongst healthy dogs, however MR-coagulase positive staphylococci were not detected. The most common species detected was S. epidermidis (52% of dogs), followed by S. pseudintermedius (44%). S. aureus was only detected in a small number of dogs (8%). Faecal E. coli with AMR to at least one tested drug (63%), MDR (30%) and AmpC-production (16%) were prevalent in healthy dogs, however ESBL-producers (1%) were rare. Healthy dogs carried a predominance of phylogenetic group B1; group B2 E. coli isolates were less likely to have AMR while group D isolates were more likely. Carriage of E. coli with AMR to at least one tested drug was common and persistent, whereas MDR, AmpC- and ESBL-types were intermittent or transient. Genotyping revealed high intra-dog diversity with frequent new genotypes and resistance phenotypes detected over time. AMR staphylococci and E. coli were detected in more dogs following antimicrobial treatment than baseline, but generally returned to pre-treatment levels within three months. Eating raw meat/animal stools, living with other dogs/in-contact humans or pets that had been hospitalised/in-contact humans working with farm animals were associated with the detection of AMR canine commensal bacteria. In particular, following treatment with beta-lactams or fluoroquinolones there was a significant increase in the detection of MDR and AmpC-producing E. coli or MR- and MDR staphylococci, respectively. However significant differences were not detected at one month after the end of treatment. Antimicrobial therapy is a risk factor for antimicrobial resistant commensal bacteria in dogs and recovery may take up to three months after the end of treatment. This highlights the importance of prudent antimicrobial use and prescribing guidelines. However other factors, such as diet, in-contacts, co-selection and bacterial fitness may be involved in the carriage of resistant bacteria and should be considered.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo isolar e identificar os microrganismos aeróbicos e a frequência de isolamento de Escherichia coli patogênica ao homem em fezes de cães sem sintomas de colibacilose e assim averiguar a participação do cão como fonte de infeção de colibacilose humana. No período de setembro de 2002 a outubro de 2004, foram coletadas 220 amostras de fezes de animais capturados pelos CCZ de Guarulhos, Cotia e Barueri, cidades do Estado de São Paulo. O método de coleta foi através de swabs estéreis profundamente ao intestino dos animais anestesiados, mantidos sob refrigeração e em caldo BHI. As bactérias foram isoladas por semeadura em Mac Conkey, ágar sangue e Sabouraud. Houve crescimento de microrganismos em 100% delas. Foram isolados os seguintes microrganismos: 120 (54,54%) estirpes de E. coli em cultura pura e 76 (34,54%) estirpes em associação com outros agentes, Proteus mirabilis (2,27%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (2,27%), dentre outros microrganismos. Deve-se ressaltar ainda o isolamento de leveduras (Candida albicans) em associação com outros agentes a partir de 05 (2,27%) amostras de swabs retais. Uma vez isoladas, seus genes de virulência foram detectados por PCR. De um total de 196 estirpes de E. coli isoladas, 123 (62,75%) apresentaram um ou mais dos fatores de virulência estudados. Dessas 196 estirpes, 16 (8,16%) foram positivas para afa, 54 (27,55%) foram positivas para sfa, 38 (19,38%) foram positivas para pap, 66 (33,67%) foram positivas para aer, 31 (15,81%) foram positivas para cnf, 13 (6,63%) foram positivas para hly, 01(0,51%) foi positiva para VT2 e nenhuma das linhagens foi positiva para LT, STa e STb. Os cães aparentemente sadios, sem sintomas de colibacilose, poderiam estar participando da cadeia epidemiológica como reservatórios de E. coli uropatogênica ao homem, pois os genes encontrados com maior número foram aer, sfa e pap presentes em infecções extraintestinais, mais especificamente infecções urinárias. Os cães podem participar como reservatório de estirpes de E. coli resistentes a antimicrobianos. Das amostras de E. coli testadas, 85,64% apresentaram resistência à Cefalotina e 0% de resistência à Norfloxacina. Há a necessidade de mais pesquisas sobre o modo de transmissão das E. coli patogênicas entre o cão e o homem e dos fatores de virulência uropatogênicos encontrados com maior frequência tais como aer, sfa e pap.The objective of the present study was to isolate and identify aerobic microorganisms and the isolation frequency of E. coli pathogenic to man in faeces of dogs without colibacillosis symptoms and thus to verify the participation of dog as a source of human colibacillosis infection. In the period between September 2002 to October 2004, 220 samples of faeces were collected from animals captured by the CCZ of Guarulhos, Cotia and Barueri, cities in the São Paulo state. The collection method used was barren swabs deeply to the intestine of anesthetized animals, which were kept under refrigeration and in a BHI broth. The bacteria were isolated through sowing in Mac Conkey, agar blood and Sabouraud. In 100% of them there was microorganism growth. The following microorganisms were isolated: 120 (54.54%) E. coli lineages in pure culture and 76 (34.54% lineages in association with other agents, Proteus mirabilis (2,27%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (2.27%,) amongst other microorganisms. The isolation of yeasts (Candida Albicans) in association with other agents from 05 (2.27%) rectal samples swabs must be emphasized. Once isolated virulence genes were detected by PCR. Of a total of 196 isolated lineages of E.coli, 123 (62.75%) presented one or more of the studied virulence factors. Of these 196 lineages, 16 (8.16%) were positive for afa, 54 (27.55%) positive for sfa, 38 (19.38%) positive for pap, 66 (33.67%) positive for aer, 31 (15.81%) positive for caf, 13 (6.63%) positive for hly, 01 (0.51%) positive for VT2 and none of the lineages were positive for LT, Sta and STb. Apparently healthy dogs, without colibacillosis symptoms could be participating in the epidemiological chain as an E. coli reservoir uropathogenic to man, as the genes found with high frequency were aer, sfa and pap present in extraintestinal infections, more specifically urinary infections. The dogs can participate as a reservior of E. coli lineages resistant to antimicrobials. Of the E. coli samples tested, 85,64% presented resistance to Cefalotina and 0% resistance to Norfloxacina. More research is needed on how the transmission of pathogenic E. coli between the dog and man happens and also on the uropathogenic virulence factors found more frequently, such as aer, sfa and pap.

Full textAbstract:
Intestinal parasites are common in dogs worldwide and their importance has recently increased for a renewed awareness on the public health relevance that some of them have. For this reason, firstly were detected presence and prevalence of intestinal helminths and protozoa in two different canine populations (shelter-dog and owned-dog) and in canine faecal samples collected in green and urban areas of the city of Padua. Secondly, the canine faecal pollution was evaluated from the point of view of citizen through the administration of questionnaires considering the people's perception of the health risk related to faecal contamination. Initially, 318 canine faecal samples collected from 8 rescue shelters in the North-eastern Italy, 237 stool samples of owned dogs and 705 environmental stools were analysed by microscopy. Then, 285 shelter-samples, 234 owned-samples and all the environmental faecal samples were submitted to molecular analyses to determine and characterize the isolates of Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp.. Moreover, 521 interviews were submitted to citizens (dog-owners and no dog-owners). Overall prevalence for at least one parasite were 52.5% (n=167/318), 13.9% (n=33/237) and 1.7% (n=13/705) in shelter-dogs (S), in owned-dogs (O) and in environmental stools (E), respectively; Trichuris vulpis showed the highest overall prevalence rate (29.2% in S, 5.5% in O, 1.4% in E), followed by G. duodenalis (15.1% and 1.1% in S and in E, respectively); whereas Toxocara canis (5.1%) was the second most prevalent parasite in O. Prevalence rates of other parasites in O and in E were very low, while in S were detected higher prevalence values for T. canis (9.7%), ancylostomatids (8.2%) and Cystoisospora spp. (5.7%). Real Time PCR detected G. duodenalis in 57.9% (n=165/285) in S, 17.5% (n=41/234) in O and 28.9% (n=204/705) in E. Among positive samples, 79, 19 and 22 isolates were characterised by Nested PCR (beta-giardin and/or SSU-rRNA genes) in S, O and E, respectively. The assemblages mainly detected were the host-specific genotypes C and D, while three were identified as the human-specific assemblage B. The prevalence rates detected for Cryptosporidium spp. were very low (1.1% in S, 3% in O and 1.7% in E). The isolates from shelters were sequenced as C. parvum (COWP gene), one in urban areas was identified as C. canis, the others were confirmed as Cryptposporidium spp.. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate risk factors for intestinal parasites in S and for Giardia (Real Time PCR results) in O, in relation to canine individual data. Citizens, without differences between dog-owners and no dog-owners, do not know that canine faeces could represent a source of infection for dogs and humans. Although the results describe a relatively limited risk of dog-originating zoonoses, there is the need to increase the quality of shelter management for health safety of both shelter operators and people involved in pet-adoption and to improve the information and education of people towards a widespread awareness of health risks related to pet-animals, and to reduce canine faecal pollution with intestinal parasites.I parassiti intestinali sono comuni nei cani in tutto il mondo e la loro importanza è recentemente aumentata per una rinata consapevolezza dell'impatto che alcuni di essi hanno sulla salute pubblica. Per questa ragione, come prima cosa sono state valutate presenza e prevalenza di elminti e protozoi intestinali in due diverse popolazioni canine (di canile e di proprietà) e in campioni fecali raccolti in aree verdi e urbane della città di Padova. Poi, la problematica della contaminazione ambientale da feci canine è stata affrontata anche dal punto di vista del cittadino attraverso la somministrazione di questionari che valutassero la percezione delle persone del rischio per la salute correlato alla fecalizzazione. Quindi, 318 campioni di feci canine raccolti in 8 canili del nord-est Italia, 237 campioni di feci di cani di proprietà e 705 campioni fecali raccolti nell'ambiente sono stati analizzati con tecnica copromicroscopica. Poi, 285 campioni di canile, 234 di proprietà e tutti i campioni ambientali sono stati sottoposti ad indagini biomolecolari per individuare e tipizzare gli isolati di Giardia duodenalis e Cryptosporidium spp.. Inoltre, sono state rivolte ai cittadini, distinti in proprietari di cani e non proprietari, 521 interviste. Sono risultati positivi ad almeno un parassita il 52,5% (n=167/318) dei cani di canile (C), il 13,9% (n=33/237) dei cani di proprietà (P) e l'1,7% (n=13/705) dei campioni ambientali (A); Trichuris vulpis è risultato il parassita con la prevalenza maggiore (29,2% in C, 5,5% in P, 1,4% in A), seguito da G. duodenalis (15,1% e 1,1%, rispettivamente in C e in A); mentre Toxocara canis (5,1%) è risultato il secondo parassita maggiormente frequente in P. Altri parassiti hanno mostrato in P ed in A valori di prevalenza molto bassi, mentre in C sono stati evidenziati valori maggiori per T. canis (9,7%), gli ancylostomatidi (8,2%) e Cystoisospora spp. (5,7%). La Real Time PCR ha individuato G. duodenalis nel 57,9% (n=165/285) dei campioni in C, nel 17,5% (n=41/234) in P e nel 28,9% (n=204/705) in A. Tra i positivi, sono stati identificati con la Nested PCR (geni beta-giardina e/o SSU-rRNA) 79, 19 e 22 campioni rispettivamente di C, P e A. La maggior parte degli assemblaggi identificati erano genotipi ospite-specifici C e D del cane, tre sono stati identificati come assemblaggio B specifico dell'uomo. I valori di prevalenza per Cryptosporidium spp. sono risultati molto bassi (1,1% in C, 3% in P e 1,7% in A). Gli isolati del canile sono stati sequenziati come C. parvum (gene COWP), uno nelle aree urbane è stato identificato come C. canis, gli altri sono stati confermati a livello di genere (Cryptosporidium spp.). L'analisi statistica è stata eseguita per valutare possibili fattori di rischio per la presenza di parassiti intestinali in C e di Giardia (risultati Real Time PCR) in P in relazione ai dati individuali. I cittadini, senza differenze significative tra proprietari e non proprietari, ignoravano che le feci possano rappresentare un fonte di infezione per cani e uomini. Sebbene i risultati descrivano un rischio relativamente limitato di zoonosi che derivano dal cane, esiste la necessità di incrementare la qualità di gestione dei canili per la salute degli operatori che vi lavorano e delle eventuali famiglie adottanti e di migliorare l'informazione e l'educazione delle persone verso una consapevolezza diffusa dei rischi per la salute che sono correlati agli animali da compagnia e nell'ottica di ridurre la contaminazione ambientale da parassiti intestinali.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina VeterináriaOs protozoários do género Giardia spp são parasitas de distribuição mundial e infectam vários tipos de hospedeiros entre os quais mamíferos domésticos e silvestres. Têm a capacidade de se manter na natureza durante várias semanas e são infectantes logo após a sua excreção. Provocam episódios de diarreia aguda intermitente tanto em humanos como em animais, sendo parasitas gastrointestinais muito comuns em locais com elevada densidade animal como é o caso dos canis e a sua contínua elevada prevalência em cães pode potenciar o seu risco zoonótico. Considerando estes aspectos foi realizado um estudo parasitológico em 2 canis de criação diferentes na região de Viseu (Portugal), avaliando um total de 51 cães de diversas raças. Este estudo procurou avaliar a prevalência de Giardia spp. neste tipo de instalações, assim como as associações entre os parâmetros sexo, idade, raça, medicação, doenças e desparasitações. As amostras foram submetidas a 3 métodos de diagnóstico: teste imunocromatográfico rápido Speed®Giardia (BVT, Virbac), flutuação passiva com ZnSO4 e esfregaço fecal com coloração pela técnica de Ziehl-Neelsen modificada. Entre os 2 canis estudados apenas um revelou a presença de Giardia e foi detectada uma prevalência final de 21,6% (11/51). De acordo com os 3 testes de diagnóstico obtivemos uma prevalência de 21,6% através do teste rápido Speed®Giardia, 19,6% (10/51) pelo método de flutuação passiva com ZnSO4 e de 17,6% (9/51) pela coloração com a técnica de Ziehl-Neelsen. No cômputo geral a prevalência média foi de 19,6% entre os 3 métodos. Com base na análise estatística pelo teste de qui-quadrado foi detectada apenas uma associação significativa (p<0,05) entre a prevalência de Giardia e os animais do sexo feminino. Neste estudo foi possível comparar os 3 métodos de diagnóstico e as suas vantagens do ponto de vista do utilizador com maior ou menor experiência. Foi analisado o impacto dos esquemas de desparasitação interna e externa e de limpeza e desinfecção das instalações tendo sido demonstrado um risco superior para a prevalência de Giardia, em canis com elevado número animais. Acima de tudo foi possível demonstrar que as elevadas prevalências de Giardia spp. em cães previamente descritas em canis municipais e abrigos para animais, também são detectadas em canis de criação pese o facto de existirem condições consideravelmente diferentes.
ABSTRACT - Giardia spp. are protozoans parasites of worldwide distribution able to infect many types of hosts, including domestic and wild mammals, being able to survive in the environment for several weeks and is infective soon after its excretion. Capable of causing intermittent episodes of acute diarrhea in humans and animals alike, is a very common gastrointestinal parasite in places where inhabit various animals in higher density such as kennels, and their continuous high prevalence in dogs can potentiate zoonotic risk. Considering these aspects, a study was conducted at 2 different breeding kennels in the region of Viseu (Portugal), assessing a total of 51 dogs of various breeds. This study sought to evaluate the prevalence of Giardia in this type of animal facility, as well as the associations between Giardia spp. infection regarding the sex, age, breed, medication, pathologies and deworming protocols. The samples were subjected to 3 diagnostic methods: Immunochromatographic Speed® Giardia test (BVT, Virbac), passive fluctuation with ZnSO4 and a fecal smear stained by a modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique. Between the 2 studied kennels, only one revealed the presence of Giardia spp. with a final prevalence of 21,6% (11/51). According to the 3 different diagnostic methods we obtained a prevalence of 21.6% according to the Speed® Giardia test, 19.6% (10/51) by passive flotation method with ZnSO4 and 17.6% (9/51) with Ziehl-Neelsen technique. On balance the average prevalence was 19,6% considering the 3 methods. Based on statistical analysis by Chi-square test it was detected only one significant association (p < 0.05) between the prevalence of Giardia spp. and female dogs. In this study it was possible to compare the 3 diagnostic methods and their advantages from the point of view of the user with greater or lesser experience. The impact of deworming schemes and internal and external cleaning and disinfection of the premises was analyzed, having been shown a higher risk for the prevalence of Giardia spp., in kennels with a higher number of animals. Above all, it was possible to demonstrate that the high prevalence of Giardia spp. previously described in dogs from municipal kennels and animal shelters is also detected in breeding kennels, which appear to have considerably different conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Faecal sludge management is recognized globally as an essential component of city-wide inclusive sanitation. However, a major gap in developing appropriate and adequate management and monitoring for faecal sludge is the ability to understand and predict the characteristics and volumes of accumulated faecal sludge, and correlations to source populations. Since standard methods for sampling and analysing faecal sludge do not currently exist, results are not comparable, the actual variability is not yet fully understood, and the transfer of knowledge and data between different regions and institutions can be challenging and often arbitrary. Due to this lack of standard analytical methods for faecal sludge, methods from other fields, such as wastewater management, and soil and food science are frequently applied. However, these methods are not necessarily the most suitable for faecal sludge analysis, and have not been specifically adapted for this purpose. Characteristics of faecal sludge can be different than these other matrices by orders of magnitude. There is also a lack of standard methods for sampling, which is complicated by the difficult nature of in situ sampling, the wide range of onsite sanitation technologies and potential sampling locations, and the diverse heterogeneity of faecal sludge within onsite containments and within cities. This illustrates the urgent need to establish common methods and procedures for faecal sludge characterisation, quantification, sampling, and modelling. The aim of this book is to provide a basis for standardised methods for the analysis of faecal sludge from onsite sanitation technologies, for improved communication between sanitation practitioners, and for greater confidence in the generated data. The book presents background information on types of faecal sludge, methods for sample collection, health and safety procedures for handling, case studies of experimental design, an approach for estimating faecal sludge at community to city-wide scales, modelling containment and treatment processes, recipes for simulants, and laboratory methods for faecal sludge analysis currently in use by faecal sludge laboratories. This book will be beneficial for researchers, laboratory technicians, academics, students and sanitation practitioners. ISBN13: 9781780409115 eISBN: 9781780409122

São analisadas as variações dos valores financiados pelo governo federal de internações no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), em 2019, segundo os procedimentos registrados no Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH). São descritos o tipo de financiamento (teto de média e alta complexidade – teto MAC e Fundo de Ações Estratégicas e Compensação – Faec), a composição do faturamento (procedimentos principais, procedimentos especiais e procedimentos secundários) e a natureza jurídica dos prestadores de serviços. Observa-se grande variabilidade nos valores pagos para procedimentos com códigos idênticos e entre os distintos prestadores. Destaca-se o fato de que, apesar das críticas à Tabela SUS, somente a parcela de remuneração das internações organizada a partir dela permite visão clara dos critérios de pagamento. Estados e municípios financiam quase 60% das internações do SUS e pouco se conhece sobre os critérios de alocação desses recursos. É dado destaque também às implicações de reajustes lineares da tabela, que ampliariam as distorções, bem como à discussão sobre possível incorporação dos Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) à lógica de remuneração hospitalar. Os achados dessas análises poderão servir de ponto de partida para propor melhorias na Tabela SUS, inclusive complementando algumas das propostas apresentadas em relatório elaborado por um grupo de trabalho da Câmara dos Deputados sobre o tema.

Full textAbstract:
The tawny frogmouth is both intriguing and endearing. In this new book, well-known author Gisela Kaplan presents us with an easy-to-read account of these unique nocturnal birds of the Australian bush.
This detailed account of life, behaviour and biology of tawny frogmouths is based on the most comprehensive single study ever conducted on tawny frogmouths, including wild and hand-raised birds. It combines ten years of systematic observation with published research to take us across a surprising range of characteristics and special features of this unusual bird. This book also notes insights derived from specific regional bird fauna surveys across Australia.
We are shown this captivating Australian species in completely new and even unexpected ways. We learn that tawny frogmouths are very affectionate, have close bonds with lifelong partners, scream like prowling tomcats when distressed, fight with lightning speed and defend nest sites from reptilian predators by mobbing and spraying pungent faeces at these dangerous opponents. Uncompromising male fights are contrasted with a touching gentleness of males as fathers.
We also learn how resilient and unusual tawny frogmouths are in the way they cope with heat and cold, sit out danger, do without drinking for most of their lives, and can use a large variety of food items.
The developmental stages of nestlings and juveniles are illustrated with a number of stunning visual images accompanying the text, most of which have never before been described or seen.

Full textAbstract:
Strongyloidosis is an intestinal parasitism caused by the threadworm, Strongyloides stercoralis. The parasite, occurring in dogs, primates and man, is found throughout the moist tropics, as well as in temperate areas where poor sanitation or other factors facilitate the occurrence of faecally transmitted organisms. In some parts of the world, notably Africa and New Guinea, human infections caused by S. fülleborni have been reported. In Africa, the latter is primarily a parasite of primates, but in New Guinea, no animal host is known. S. stercoralis is unique among zoonotic nematodes, in that larvae passing in the faeces can give rise to a free-living generation of worms which, in turn, give rise to infective larvae. This life history alternative (i.e. heterogonic development) acts as an amplification mechanism, increasing the population of infective larvae in the external environment. The infective larvae are active skin penetrators; infection per os , while possible, is probably of limited importance. Because the parasitic female’s eggs hatch internally, a potential for autoinfection exists when precociously developing larvae attain infectivity while still in the host. This is another virtually unique feature of S. stercoralis infections in both its human and animal hosts. Autoinfection can occasionally escape control by the host, with massive re-penetration and larval migration. This can cause pulmonary or cerebro-spinal strongyloidosis as well as fulminant intestinal parasitism. Control of canine strongyloidosis has been achieved in kennels by strategic use of anthelmintics. Given the lack of epidemiological information community-based programs to control human strongyloidosis have not been attempted. The growing importance of human strongyloidosis depends upon the unique ability of S. stercoralis to replicate within its host and to behave as a potentially fatal opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised hosts, particularly in those receiving corticosteroids.

Full textAbstract:
Although period poverty remains an ongoing concern, from an infrastructural perspective the provision of disposal facilities for menstrual products in countries like Australia has been largely addressed for those identifying as female. By contrast, there remains a significant provision gap for trans and nonbinary people who menstruate. This briefing paper considers the impact of a lack of sanitation infrastructure for all people who menstruate and male staff and students with faecal or urinary incontinence or chronic bowel and bladder issues within higher education institutions. One of the practical problems both groups face in relation to using campus-based male-designated toileting facilities is a lack of sanitary infrastructure to support the discrete and hygienic disposal of continence and menstrual products and packaging. In a university context, this lack of access to sanitation infrastructure can negatively impact the ability of staff and students to fully engage in on-campus learning, teaching and social activities. This briefing paper explores the regulatory and justice arguments in support of providing additional sanitary disposal infrastructure in male-designated toilet stalls on the basis that failing to do so is not only inequitable as it may limit these individuals from fully participating in life on campus but may also potentially constitute prohibited discrimination. The recommendations in this briefing paper are based on consultation with a range of stakeholders including The University of Adelaide Pride Club, YouX Sports Clubs, South Australian Rainbow Advocacy Alliance, and The University of Adelaide Disability, Illness and Divergence Association.

Abstract Toxocara canis is an ascarid parasite of canids. In the dog, ingested eggs hatch in the stomach and invade the intestinal wall where larvae are carried to the liver and are distributed to the body via the bloodstream. Lung migration occurs and larvae are coughed up and swallowed, where larvae develop into adult worms in the intestines of the dog. Eggs passed in the faeces may or may not be fertilized (Plates 3e,f and 4a). This life cycle occurs mainly in younger dogs; over the age of six months, larval development is halted at the L2 stage and larvae migrate in the tissues before becoming dormant. In pregnant bitches, larvae are activated and migrate transplacentally to infect the pups after the 42nd day of gestation. In consequence, almost all pups are infected at the time of whelping (1).

Full textAbstract:
In South America there are more dogs per person than in developed countries. Many owners allow their dogs to roam freely in public areas, which favours the spread of zoonotic diseases. The objective of this work is to describe, through bibliographic analysis, the occurrence, prevalence, species richness, and distribution of intestinal helminth parasites found in dog faeces from urban and rural areas of southern South America (Argentina-Chile-Uruguay). Using three databases, we performed a systematic review of articles published between 2000 and 2020 in indexed journals. A total of 219 articles was evaluated for eligibility, and of these 67 were included in the final analysis; 48 correspond to Argentina, 17 to Chile, and 2 to Uruguay. The total number of parasite taxa recorded was 22, the most frequently occurring species being Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma sp., Trichuris vulpis and Echinococcus sp. Species richness was correlated with sample size and varied between 1 and 10 species. In addition, disease risk is not homogeneously distributed. Due to the high infection levels in dogs, urban and rural dwellers are at risk of infection with zoonotic diseases transmitted by these animals, therefore a One Health approach to public health would be advisable.

Abstract Claude Bernard (1813-78), the foremost physiologist of the nineteenth century, had a troubled domestic life. His wife was a strict Catholic, had no sympathy with, or understanding of science, and, worse, strongly disapproved of her husband’s experiments on animals. She contributed money to an anti-vivisection movement and turned her three children against their father. There was some excuse for her distaste, especially because Bernard, a compulsive and passionate experimenter, would often bring work home with him. Here is a description of one such occasion by Bernard’s biographer. It was at an early stage in their married life; they already had a two-year old child and Madame Bernard was again pregnant. Her husband brought to their small flat [in Paris] on an upper floor on Sunday morning a dog with an open wound in its side from which internal fluids were drawn off from time to time; the dog was in a state of extreme emaciation, yet with a voracious appetite, pus running from its nostrils, coughing as it was led up and down the stairs, suffering from diarrhoea, its faeces being of particular interest to the master of the house.

Abstract Although the sixties embraced all things modern, nostalgia for a world before the sparkle of modern technology persisted. Some musicians drew on both the near and the distant past for inspiration, adapting old ideas to the present, often with humor as a component. The Scaffold resurrected a bawdy ballad for modern consumption; and a television presenter brought one-man band street musician Don Partridge—the Inter Galactic Lord of the Wide Open Spaces—into the studio. When Bob Dylan explored the roots of Americana from his Hudson Valley retreat, British artists such as Manfred Mann reinterpreted his material for pop audiences with his approval. In Britain, Donovan Leitch looked to worlds populated by fairies and informed by Celtic myth as he painted stories about London neighborhoods and acquaintances, even as the Establishment oppressed the counterculture he represented.

Infection with Giardia intestinalis, a common flagellate protozoan that colonizes the lumen of the small intestine, is acquired by ingesting environmentally resistant cysts of the parasite, typically in water or food, or after contact with faecal material from infected individuals. Strains of the parasite that can potentially infect humans are also harboured by various mammals, including dogs and cattle. Manifestations include watery diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, distension and pain, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, and malabsorption, with the infection typically being persistent and severe in individuals with certain immunodeficiencies. Chronic G. intestinalis infection can lead to micronutrient deficiencies, and impairment of growth and cognitive development in children.

This chapter looks at astroviruses, which were first identified by electron microscopists 40 years ago. These viruses are the second most common cause of gastroenteritis in young children after rotavirus. Rotavirus may often be a co-pathogen, and multiple serotypes circulate simultaneously, especially in developing countries. The chapter elaborates that these viruses spread by the faecaloral route and cause gastroenteritis in animals such as calves, piglets, dogs, cats, and mink. The family name is derived from the negative contrast EM of astroviruses in which the exterior surface of a small rounded 30-nm icosahedral non-enveloped virion has a curious five- or six-pointed star appearance. The chapter looks at more recent three-dimensional views of the virion that have been constructed by a combination of cryo-electron microscopy and electron density maps.

Full textAbstract:
Incontinence is the medical term used to describe the involuntary loss of urine or faeces. Women, men, girls, boys and people of all genders, at any age, can experience incontinence. A person with incontinence can experience leakage occasionally, regularly or constantly; and leakage can happen at any time, day or night. A person may also experience leakage of urinary or faecal matter due to not being able to get to the toilet in time or not wanting to use the toilet facilities available. This is known as social, or functional, incontinence. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) understanding of incontinence is still in its early stages: the term ‘incontinence’ may not be known, knowledge of the condition is rare, and the provision of support is lacking. Those who experience incontinence may face stigma due to having the condition, and this may affect their willingness or confidence to talk about it. There is a need to better understand incontinence in LMICs, and how best to support people living with the condition to improve their quality of life. This requires having conversations with individuals that experience the condition, and with individuals who care for those who do: they will have the lived experiences of what it means to live with incontinence practically, emotionally and socially for them and their families. Living with incontinence can have a range of impacts on the people living with it and their carers. These include increased stress and distress; additional needs for water and soap; and restricted ability to join in community activities, school or work. Living with incontinence can also lead to a range of protection issues. The potential challenges that people face may be quite diverse and may vary between people and households. The checklist below, and corresponding page references to ‘Incontinence: We Need to Talk About Leaks’ can be used to increase your understanding of incontinence and the options available to support people living with the condition; and provide guidance on how to have conversations to understand how best to support people living with incontinence in your area.

Full textAbstract:
Anyone, of any gender, at any age, can leak urine or faeces. What would you do if it happened to you? Imagine if you’d woken up this morning and you’d wet the bed. What would you do? Have a wash, put on clean clothes, change the bedding and put it in a washing machine? You may go to the shop and buy an incontinence pad. And perhaps if you knew that there was help available for leaking urine you’d make an appointment to see a doctor next week and then just carry on with the rest of your day, dignity intact. Now imagine if you’d woken up this morning and you’d wet the bed. But to have a wash, or clean your clothes and bedding, you’d have to walk for an hour to collect water. Imagine you are frightened to walk there alone, the path is steep and you struggle to use the hand pump. Even if you did get water, you don’t have enough soap so the smells would linger anyway. And after all that effort, you have nothing to wear to soak up urine if it happens again. What if you didn’t know that leaking urine was common, and you spent the rest of the day worried about your health and too embarrassed to go to work in case people could tell? What if you were worried that your partner would hit you again for making a mess so you had very little to drink all day for fear of it happening again? What can you do to support people living with incontinence? To start, we need to talk about leaks.
