Zoonotic parasites associated with predation by dogs and cats
JA Mendoza Roldan, D Otranto - Parasites & Vectors, 2023 - Springer
One of the most common behaviors of cats that have an indoor/outdoor lifestyle is to bring
hunted “gifts” to their owners, represented by small mammals, reptiles and birds. Access to …

Climate variation influences host specificity in avian malaria parasites
Parasites with low host specificity (eg infecting a large diversity of host species) are of
special interest in disease ecology, as they are likely more capable of circumventing …

Airborne geographical dispersal of Q fever from livestock holdings to human communities: a systematic review and critical appraisal of evidence
NJ Clark, RJ Soares Magalhães - BMC infectious diseases, 2018 - Springer
Background Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. This bacterium
survives harsh conditions and attaches to dust, suggesting environmental dispersal is a risk …

Who let the cats out? A global meta-analysis on risk of parasitic infection in indoor versus outdoor domestic cats (Felis catus)
Parasitic infection risks in domestic animals may increase as a result of outdoor activities,
often leading to transmission events to and from owners, other domestic animals and …
