TL;DR: Using a combination of morphological and pathological plus molecular (DNA amplification) diagnostic methodologies it was possible to identify the presence of multiple circulating species in the flock as well as higher frequencies for some of them, especially Eimeria praecox and Eimaria maxima, which were identified in 100% of the flocks.

TL;DR: E evaluation of the risk factors relating to the presence of ticks and the age of the animals showed that there was a significant association with the frequency of animals infected with both pathogens, and nPCR proved to be a good tool for diagnosing the agents of the bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis complex because of its sensitivity and specificity in comparison with blood smears.

TL;DR: An epidemiological and molecular study of Ehrlichia canis in dogs of Ilhéus and Itabuna in Bahia as well as an evaluation of associated risk factors were exposure to tick-infested habitats and the fact that the dogs lived in the countryside.

TL;DR: The contamination of public squares by zoonotic potential parasites was evaluated at the urban areas in the municipality of Itabuna Brasil with the result that 56.3% show some parasitic evolutive form.

TL;DR: The current study extends the distribution of R. amblyommii (strain Aranha), which was detected in A. longirostre collected from the thin-spined porcupine Chaetomys subspinosus and the hairy dwarf Porcupine Coendou insidiosus in the state of Bahia, and reports the first detection of Rickettsia bellii in adults of A.Longirostre.
