En este trabajo, se analizó, mediante la técnica de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR, Polymerase Chain Reaction, por sus siglas en inglés), la presencia de Anaplasma platys, agente causal de la trombocitopenia ...
Chagas disease in dogs from endemic areas of Costa Rica
(Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002-06)
Dogs with the presumptive diagnosis of Chagas disease are commonly sent to our School of Veterinary Medicine by independent veterinarians. This prompted us to evaluate the prevalence of canine trypanosomiasis in some ...
Canine perineal tumours
(Paul Parey Scientific Publishers, 1989-05-29)
One hundred and thirty nine canine perineal tumours were histologically evaluated. The vast
majority (134 tumours = 96.4 Yo) appeared to originate from the characteristic glandular structures of
this region. They were ...

(Oxford University Press, 1985)
Mycotic keratoconjuntivitis caused by Acremonium kiliense in a German Shepherd bitch was diagnosed with the aid of laboratory tests. The dog presented with photophobia, tearing, corneal edema and reduction of the visual ...
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in dogs: Is high seroprevalence indicative of a reservoir role?
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-05-20)
American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a complex disease with a rich diversity of animal host species. This diversity
imposes a challenge, since understanding ACL transmission requires the adequate identification of ...

Exposure of dogs to Rickettsia spp. in Costa Rica: Risk factors for PCR-positive ectoparasites and seropositivity
(Elsevier, 2019-08-11)
Infection of dogs with Rickettsia spp. can result in inapparent, mild, or severe disease. Moreover,
common dog ticks and fleas are able to transmit rickettsiae to nearby humans. In this
study, the seroprevalence of spotted ...
Extracellular trap formation in response to Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in granulocytes isolated from dogs and common opossums, natural reservoir hosts
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018-05-15)
Granulocytes mediate the first line of defense against infectious diseases in humans
as well as animals and they are well known as multitasking cells. They can mediate
antimicrobial activity by different strategies ...
