Streptococcus canis is a group G beta-hemolytic species of Streptococcus. [1] It was first isolated in dogs, giving the bacterium its name. These bacteria are characteristically different from Streptococcus dysgalactiae, which is a human-specific group G species that has a different phenotypic chemical composition.
Sarcoptes scabiei (/sɑːrˈkɒptiːz skeɪˈbiːaɪ/ Traditional English pronunciation of Latin) or the itch mite is a parasitic mite found in all parts of the world that burrows into skin and causes scabies. Humans become infested by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis; [1] other mammals can be
Sarcoptes is a genus of mites.. In some contexts, the types are all considered subordinate to Sarcoptes scabiei.. Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis; S. s. var. canis S. s. var. caprae S. s. var. equi
A mutation in the gene that encodes for pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 is associated with DCM in Doberman Pinschers in the USA. [50] Dilated cardiomyopathy usually ultimately results in congestive heart failure. Atrial fibrillation is common in giant breed dogs with DCM.
Dirofilaria immitis, dog-infecting filarial parasite (2012 [579]) Globodera pallida , plant pathogen (2014 [ 580 ] ) Haemonchus contortus , blood-feeding parasite infecting sheep and goats (2013 [ 581 ] )
Feeding by the larvae involves secretion of a feeding tube, the stylostome, into the host's skin. This remains when the larva detaches and proteins in the secretion induce inflammatory and dermal hypersensitivity reactions, with intense pruritus. Domestic birds, dogs and humans are among the other hosts afflicted by this temporary infestation.
Octopuses have 500 million neurons, which is nearly as many neurons as dogs. What’s different about the octopus is that the neurons aren’t all in a central brain, but are spread out throughout ...
Streptomyces scabiei (also wrongly named Streptomyces scabies) [1] is a streptomycete bacterium species found in soils around the world. [2] Unlike most of the 500 or so Streptomyces species it is a plant pathogen causing corky lesions to form on tuber and root crops as well as decreasing the growth of seedlings.
