    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selamectin

    Selamectin, sold under the brand name Revolution, among others, is a topical parasiticide and anthelminthic used on dogs and cats. [2] It treats and prevents infections of heartworms, fleas, ear mites, sarcoptic mange (scabies), and certain types of ticks in dogs, and prevents heartworms, fleas, ear mites, hookworms, and roundworms in cats.

  3. Nematode infection in dogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematode_infection_in_dogs

    Domestic dogs in Belgium showed a mean prevalence of T. canis of 4.4%, those from larger kennels of up to 31%. [6] In domestic dogs in Serbia, T. canis was detectable in 30% of the animals, [7] in herding and hunting dogs in Greece in 12.8% and T. leonina in 0.7% of animals. [8]

  4. Stool test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stool_test

    A multi-target stool DNA test was approved in August 2014 by the FDA as a screening test for non-symptomatic, average-risk adults 50 years or older. [8] A 2017 study found this testing to be less cost effective compared to colonoscopy or fecal occult blood testing. [9]

  5. Cutaneous larva migrans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_larva_migrans

    Cutaneous larva migrans (abbreviated CLM) is a skin disease in humans, caused by the larvae of various nematode parasites of the hookworm family (Ancylostomatidae).The parasites live in the intestines of dogs, cats, and wild animals; they should not be confused with other members of the hookworm family for which humans are definitive hosts, namely Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus.

  6. Toxocariasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxocariasis

    Toxocariasis is an illness of humans caused by the dog roundworm (Toxocara canis) and, less frequently, the cat roundworm (Toxocara cati). [1] These are the most common intestinal roundworms of dogs, coyotes, wolves and foxes and domestic cats, respectively. [2]

  7. Canine parvovirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_parvovirus

    A test kit of a CPV positive dog. Diagnosis is made through detection of CPV2 in the feces by either an ELISA or a hemagglutination test, or by electron microscopy. PCR has become available to diagnose CPV2, and can be used later in the disease when potentially less virus is being shed in the feces that may not be detectable by ELISA. [4]

  8. Strongyloides stercoralis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongyloides_stercoralis

    Dogs can act as a host for this parasite both in the wild and in the laboratory, but transmission from dog to human has been difficult to prove. Molecular genetic analyses have shown that there are two populations of this parasite in dogs, one of which (type B) is exclusive to dogs and a second (type A) that is common to dogs and humans.

  9. Fecal occult blood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_occult_blood

    Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT), as its name implies, aims to detect subtle blood loss in the gastrointestinal tract, anywhere from the mouth to the colon.Positive tests ("positive stool") may result from either upper gastrointestinal bleeding or lower gastrointestinal bleeding and warrant further investigation for peptic ulcers or a malignancy (such as colorectal cancer or gastric cancer).
