“…Larvae are generally not detected by means of using the standard faecal flotation techniques and thus, a huge number of C. vulpis infected dogs could be misdiagnosed (Bihr & Conboy, 1999). The Baermann technique is considered a method of choice (Nelson & Sellon, 2005); FLOTAC technique may be another approach to increase the chance of detection (Rinaldi et al, 2007). This case together with the occurrence of C. vulpis in countries neighbouring the Czech Republic indicates that infection with C. vulpis should be considered a differential diagnosis in dogs with symptoms of respiratory diseases in Central Europe.…”

“…It is of endemic incidence in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) population throughout North America and Europe (Sreter et al, 2003;Nevarez et al, 2005, Saeed et al, 2006. Since the first findings in a dog in the UK (Cobb & Fisher, 1992), it was detected in domestic dogs throughout the Europe (Reilly et al, 2000;Unterer et al, 2002;Rinaldi et al, 2007;Taubert et al, 2009) including the countries neighbouring the Czech Republic (Barutzki & Schaper, 2003;Taubert et al, 2009). Adults are characterized by horizontal cuticular ridges in the anterior part (Bowman, 2000;Rinaldi et al, 2007), females lay eggs that hatch within the respiratory tract.…”

“…However, three of four previous studies used the classic Baermann procedure (Rinaldi et al 2007Gaglio et al 2008). One study that found the two methods to be equivalent also used a modified Baermann protocol (Bauer et al 2010).…”

“…The FLO-TAC method has been validated for a range of parasite types, including eggs of gastrointestinal nematodes, protozoan oocysts, and lungworm larvae (Cringoli 2006;Cringoli et al 2010). For quantifying lungworm larvae, the FLOTAC method is fast, requiring ,1 h for sample processing, and is flexible enough to accommodate fresh or preserved fecal samples , unlike the Baermann method, which relies on fresh feces and takes up to 24 h. Recent comparisons of the FLOTAC to the classic Baermann suggest that FLOTAC frequently detects a greater number of infected hosts and produces significantly higher larval counts per host (Rinaldi et al 2007Gaglio et al 2008).…”

“…The dogs infected with C. vulpis infections could be misdiagnosed allergic respiratory disease [2]. Rinaldi et al [10] reported that the FLOTAC technique produced mean LPG of feces greater than that produced by the McMaster, Baermann, flotation and Wisconsin technique. The mean LPGs were FLOTAC 91.3, McMaster 36.7, Baermann 0.7, flotation 11.1 and Wisconsin 36.7.…”
