TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss the issue of relocation and homing of unowned cats from a global perspective and give a list of practical recommendations for veterinary team professionals dealing with homing cats.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a high prevalence of Sarcocystis infection in wild ungulates, particularly in roe deer, and they are consistent with findings in previous surveys in other European countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a WNV lin2 strain was detected by RT-PCR in a pool of Culex pipiens mosquitoes captured in Veneto region and no differences between this Italian lineage 2 strain and the Nea Santa-Greece-2010 WNV isolate (Gr-10) were observed.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the antiparasitic treatments that are usually administered to G. duodenalis positive dogs might be avoided in clinically healthy subjects, since the presence of the parasite does not substantially modify the microbial ecology of the intestinal lumen nor the haematological markers of disease.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used a recently established population from Italy to investigate aspects of biology that influence reproductive success in Ae. koreicus: autogeny, mating behaviour, mating disruption by the sympatric invasive species Aedes albopictus, and the presence of the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis.
