The stone moroko (Pseudorasbora parva), also known as the topmouth gudgeon, [1] is a fish belonging to the Cyprinidae family, native to Asia, but introduced and now considered an invasive species in Europe and North America. The fish's size is rarely above 8 cm and usually 2 to 7.5 cm (0.79 to 2.95 in) long.
It is a rare disease in dogs, with cats seven to ten times more likely to be infected. The disease in dogs can affect the lungs and skin, but more commonly the eye and central nervous system. [20] Ringworm is a fungal skin disease that in dogs is caused by Microsporum canis (70%), Microsporum gypseum (20%), and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (10% ...
Pemphigus foliaceus is the most common autoimmune skin disease in dogs, making up around one-third of all canine autoimmune disorders. [16] This disease usually affects areas of the ears and face. [9] Early symptoms are characterized by depigmentation of the nasal palate, dorsal cleft in the mouth, the ear, and the periocular area around the ...
At about 5–15 mm, the worms are only about one-tenth the length of roundworms, have a hook-shaped angled front end (hence the name "hookworm") and a large mouth capsule with cutting plates. Females of A. caninum release eggs about 65×40 μm in size, which already have 4-10 furrowing stages at deposition. They are oval and thin-shelled and ...
Environmental Management: Reducing vector habitats is critical in controlling the spread of diseases. Tick habitat management: Keeping dogs away from areas where ticks thrive (e.g., tall grasses, woods) can help limit exposure. Regular grooming and inspection of dogs for ticks are critical, especially after walks in tick-prone areas (Eisen et ...
SH is a generalized histiocytic proliferative disease with a marked tendency to involve skin, ocular and nasal mucosa, and peripheral lymph nodes. The disease predominately affects young to middle aged male dogs (2–8 years), although cases in females have been observed.

A controlled study comparing six native fish species with the introduced (and invasive) eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) on consuming larvae of the common banded mosquito (Culex annulirostris) in Brisbane found that the empire gudgeon was as efficient at eating mosquito larvae as the eastern mosquitofish and is a good candidate for ...
