Thelazia callipaeda: infection in dogs: a new parasite for Spain Guadalupe Miró, Ana Montoya, Leticia Hernández, Diana Dado, María Vázquez, Marta Benito, Manuel Villagrasa, Emanuelle Brianti, Domenico Otranto Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:148 (27 July 2011) This study describes the first autochthonous cases of infection by Thelazia callipaeda in dogs from central western Spain where the first case of eyeworm infection was reported. Based on the high infection prevalence recorded, 39.9%, the potential public health risk to humans from this region is discussed.

Jun-Yun Wang, Yu Ha, Chun-Hua Gao, Yong Wang, Yue-Tao Yang, Hai-Tang Chen Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:69 (9 May 2011) This article is part of a collection on Aspects of parasitology in... The paper evaluates the prevalence of canine Leishmania infantum infection in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, China detected by PCR, ELISA and rk39-dipstick test. The phylogenetic tree based on the sequences of 116-bp fragment from the kDNA conserved region of Leishmania spp. has been constructed.
