Threadworm Infections Of Dogs
Nematode infection in dogs - the infection (also infestation) of dogs with Parasitism, parasitic Pinworm infection, nemamotodes - are, along with tapeworm infections and infections with protozoa (giardiasis, Neospora caninum, neosporosis), frequent Parasitic disease, parasitoses in veterinary practice. Nematodes, as so-called Parasitism, endoparasites ("internal parasites"), colonize various internal organs - most of them the digestive tract - and the skin. To date, about 30 different species of nematode have been identified in domestic dogs; they are essentially also found in wild dog species. However, the majority of them often cause no or only minor symptoms of disease in adult animals. The infection therefore does not necessarily have to manifest itself in a Helminthiasis, worm disease (''helminthosis''). For most nematodes, an infection can be detected by examining the feces for eggs or larvae. Toxocara canis, Roundworm infection in dogs and the canine hookworm, hookworm in dogs ...

Infection
An infection is the invasion of tissue (biology), tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host (biology), host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. An infectious disease, also known as a transmissible disease or communicable disease, is an Disease#Terminology, illness resulting from an infection. Infections can be caused by a wide range of pathogens, most prominently pathogenic bacteria, bacteria and viruses. Hosts can fight infections using their immune systems. Mammalian hosts react to infections with an Innate immune system, innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an Adaptive immune system, adaptive response. Treatment for infections depends on the type of pathogen involved. Common medications include: * Antibiotics for bacterial infections. * Antivirals for viral infections. * Antifungals for fungal infections. * Antiprotozoals for protozoan infections. * Antihelminthics for infections caused by parasi ...
