“…Domestic cats may include wild fish and frogs in their diet, and thus run the risk of infection with D. renale, especially feral cats or those allowed roaming freely (VEROCAI et al, 2009). There are reports of frog (Chaunus ictericus) hosting D. renale larvae (PEDRASSANI et al, 2009) in Brazil in the same municipality where the domestic feline reported in the present study lived.…”

“…Its life cycle involves an intermediate host and can involve the presence of paratenic hosts such as fish and frogs, taking several months to complete (MEASURES, 2001;PEDRASSANI et al, 2009b). In dogs, the infection usually involves the right kidney.…”

“…Canine dioctophymosis has been recorded in several states of Brazil, including Rio Grande do Sul (COLPO et al, 2007;PEDRASSANI et al, 2009;LEMOS et al, 2010;STAINKI et al, 2011). Infection in cats has been reported less frequently, with reports in Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina (VEROCAI et al, 2009;PEDRASSANI et al, 2014).…”

“…The low rates of parasitism due to larvae of D. renale recorded in fish and amphibians (paratenic hosts) (MEASURES & ANDERSON, 1985;PEDRASSANI et al, 2009;ABDALLAH et al, 2012;MASCARENHAS et al, 2016) suggest that these hosts do not represent the main source of infection for domestic dogs. Additional studies need to be conducted in this region in order to seek further information that might aid in understanding the urban dynamics of the cycle of D. renale.…”
