摘要

Cases of feline thelaziosis have seldom been published in the scientific literature. We report the first autochthonous case of feline ocular thelaziosis in Portugal caused by Thelazia callipaeda and suggest that this infestation should be included among differential diagnoses of ocular diseases in cats from this country.

Summary: This study examined the therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy of different formulations in treating and preventing canine thelaziosis in Spain. Products containing moxidectin were found to be highly effective, with milbemycin also showing promise. Monthly prophylaxis in endemic areas is crucial to limit the spread of Thelazia callipaeda and reduce zoonotic risks.

Thelazia callipaeda as a potential new threat to european wildcats: insights from an eco-epidemiological study

Elena Bertos, Mariola Sanchez-Cerda, Emilio Virgos, Jose M. Gil-Sanchez, Marcos Moleon

Summary: Global warming and human activities have led to changes in parasite transmission and host-parasite interactions. This study found that a zoonotic parasite from Asia has rapidly spread to Europe and infected wild mammals, dogs, cats and humans. The European wildcat is considered a potential victim, and monitoring has revealed infection cases. The findings suggest that this pathogen may pose a new threat to the locally endangered wildcat, and highlight the need for further eco-epidemiological monitoring and sanitary control of domestic cats.

Molecular characterization of oriental eyeworm (Thelazia callipaeda) detected from raccoon (Procyon lotor) and Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes viverrinus) in Kanto region, Japan

Kandai Doi, Toshihiro Tokiwa, Miyu Imoto, Shyun Chou, Fumiaki Yamasaki, Takuya Kato, Shin-ichi Hayama

Summary: This study investigated the infection status and molecular characterization of Thelazia callipaeda in two urban carnivores, raccoons and wild Japanese raccoon dogs, in the Kanto region of Japan. The prevalence of T. callipaeda in raccoons and raccoon dogs was 20.2% and 13.3% respectively. Co-infection of two different haplotypes was found in some raccoons. The comparison of sequences suggests that raccoons and raccoon dogs carry the same haplotypes as those found in humans, dogs, and cats in Japan.

The Role of Parasitoid Wasps, Ixodiphagus spp. (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), in Tick Control

Rafael Antonio Nascimento Ramos, Lucia Oliveira de Macedo, Marcos Antonio Bezerra-Santos, Gilcia Aparecida de Carvalho, Guilherme Gomes Verocai, Domenico Otranto

Summary: Species of Ixodiphagus are parasitoid wasps that develop inside ticks. Adult female wasps lay eggs inside ticks, and the larvae feed on the internal contents before emerging as adult wasps. Ixodiphagus has been reported as a parasitoid of multiple tick species. The most studied species, Ixodiphagus hookeri, has shown potential for reducing tick populations, although control attempts have faced challenges.

Summary: Given the limited information on neoplasms in domestic ruminants, this study aimed to systematically review the literature to determine the occurrence, type, and affected organs of neoplasms in cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. The results showed that cattle were the most affected species and that the integumentary system was the most affected organ system. Squamous cell carcinomas were the most common neoplasms in ruminants, while melanoma was the most common in pigs. More studies are needed to investigate economic losses associated with carcass condemnation.

Jairo Alfonso Mendoza-Roldan, Viviane Noll Louzada-Flores, Nouha Lekouch, Intissar Khouchfi, Giada Annoscia, Andrea Zatelli, Frederic Beugnet, Julia Walochnik, Domenico Otranto

Summary: This study investigated the presence of parasites and pathogens in the blood and feces of reptiles sold in the markets of Marrakech in order to assess the risk of zoonotic transmission. The results showed that 28.9% of reptiles carried at least one pathogen, including Anaplasma and Rickettsia. In addition, some potentially zoonotic bacteria, such as Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were found. The study highlights the potential role of reptiles in the transmission of pathogens to humans in the markets of Marrakech.

Rectal Administration of Leishmania Cells Elicits a Specific, Th1-Associated IgG2a Response in Mice: New Perspectives for Mucosal Vaccination against Leishmaniasis, after the Repurposing of a Study on an Anti-Viral Vaccine Candidate

Ilaria Varotto-Boccazzi, Sara Epis, Giulia Maria Cattaneo, Noemi Guerrini, Alessandro Manenti, Diego Rubolini, Paolo Gabrieli, Domenico Otranto, Gianvincenzo Zuccotti, Emanuele Montomoli, Claudio Bandi

Summary: The mucosal immune system is crucial for combatting infections and can serve as the first line of defense against various pathogens. Mucosal vaccination has shown promise in protecting against infections acquired through ingestion, inhalation, or the urogenital system, and can also induce systemic immune responses. This study investigated rectal administration of Leishmania parasites as a potential method for generating anti-Leishmania immunity, demonstrating a specific antibody response and a shift towards a Th1-biased immune response. These findings suggest the development of novel vaccines based on rectal immunization against Leishmania parasites should be further explored.

Summary: European hedgehogs, found in western and northern Europe, are omnivorous mammals that serve as hosts for various parasites. A study discovered the presence of Moniliformis cestodiformis in the intestine of a European hedgehog, marking its first report in both the hedgehog species and Europe. Further epidemiological studies are required to understand the distribution and prevalence of this parasite in Portugal and the European continent.
