Advances in Knowledge of Wild Toxocariasis in Patagonia (Argentina): Toxocara canis
ABSTRACT: Seventeen specimens of carnivores of the families Felidae (Puma concolor and Leopardus geoffroyi) and Canidae (Lycalopex culpaeus) were collected in different localities of Nahuel Huapi National Park (Argentina) from August 2005 to May 2018. The specimens were processed by necropsy, and ascaridid parasites were obtained only from L. culpaeus. Morphological analysis indicates all the specimens belong to Toxocara canis, and specific identification was confirmed by PCR procedure. This study represents the first molecular identification of T. canis from Andean foxes in Argentina, and provides information on the spatial distribution of T. canis in wild environments in Patagonia.
期刊介绍:
Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
