January 2023 in “Trakia Journal of Sciences” The study assessed clinical symptoms and hemato-biochemical changes in 4599 goats infested with lice, focusing on 20 goats divided into two groups: one with Bovicola caprae (biting lice) and the other with Linognathus stenopsis (sucking lice). Clinical signs included alopecia, skin lesions, and inflammation. Hematological and biochemical changes included normocytic hypochromic anemia and hypoferremia in goats with sucking lice, and leukocytosis, hyperproteinemia, and hyperalbuminemia in those with biting lice. These parameters normalized by the 30th and 60th days post-treatment with Eprinomectin.

March 2021 in “Parasitology Research” This study reported the first clinical case of besnoitiosis in two donkeys in northern Italy, confirming the presence of Besnoitia spp. in Italian equids. Clinical signs included scleral pearls, alopecia, hyperkeratosis, and skin nodules. Both donkeys tested seropositive for Besnoitia spp. antibodies and exhibited light anemia, leukocytosis with eosinophilia, lymphocytosis, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated alkaline phosphatase. DNA analysis showed 100% homology with Besnoitia spp. The findings suggested that equine besnoitiosis might be more widespread in Europe than previously thought, highlighting the need for further research and early diagnosis to prevent the spread of this neglected disease.
