Nowadays a growing number of exotic reptiles are kept as pets. The aim of this study was to determine the species of parasites found in reptile patients of veterinary practices in Poland. Fecal samples obtained from 76 lizards, 15 turtles and 10 snakes were examined by flotation method and direct smear stained with Lugol’s iodine. In 63 samples (62.4%) the presence of parasite eggs and oocysts was revealed. Oocysts of Isospora spp. (from 33% to 100% of the samples, depending on the reptilian species) and Oxyurids eggs (10% to 75%) were predominant. In addition, isolated Eimeria spp. oocysts and Giardia intestinalis cysts were found, as well as Strongylus spp. and Hymenolepis spp. eggs. Pet reptiles are often infected with parasites, some of which are potentially dangerous to humans. A routine parasitological examination should be done in such animals.

Virtually all horses in Poland receive periodically deworming treatment. In the view of emerging anthelmintic resistance it is important to know the current parasite control practices used by Polish horse owners. In order to assess the situation and analyze it in terms of the risk of drug resistance, a questionnaire survey was forwarded to 300 horse establishments. The response rate was 49.6%. The average number of deworming treatments in adult horses was determined at 2.1. and 2.8 for youngstock per calendar year. The most commonly used drugs were ivermectin, pyrantel pamoate and moxidectin. Almost 73% of respondents indicated that they take into consideration the resistance of parasites. However, only 4,03% of the responders regularly send faecal samples from all horses for parasitological examination. In ca. 92% of cases the person administrating the drug guessed the weight of the horse by the visual evaluation. Generally, little attention was payed to pasture hygiene and prevention of parasitic infection. The responses indicate high level of awareness among horse owners of the need to control parasites. It also show the large involvement of veterinarians as a source of advice about deworming practices, so we concluded that the most appropriate way to achieve improvement would be implementation of further education programmes for veterinarians.

Protozoa of the genus Cryptosporidium spp. are often an underestimated problem in livestock farms and poultry flocks. On account of difficult and time-consuming diagnostic methods cryptosporidiosis is rarely confirmed by laboratory tests. Occurring cases of persisting diarrhea are treated without a proper diagnosis. In addition, the lack of effective veterinary preparations on the market reduces treatment options. According to available literature, the estimated prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. in cattle herds ranges from 17 to 100%. In the case of poultry flocks there is no accurate data. The paper presents the current state of knowledge about the biology, presence, methods of diagnosis, and treatments of Cryptosporidiosis.

Reproductive problems in the perinatal period have serious implications because they can be life threatening to mares or their foals and can influence future fertility. A number of abnormalities can occur during or after labor. This article discusses the appearance and course of the most important ones, including dystocia, retained placental membranes, uterine prolapse, uterine and vaginal trauma, retained liquids in the uterus and endometritis puerperalis. Special attention is given to the more serious potential consequences of these abnormalities, that, in addition to the possible death of the mare, include several pathologies which slow down the postpartum involution of the uterus and cause late mating: endometritis, metritis, general intoxication and sore feet. Because these are frequent complications, mares should be monitored after parturition to provide the correct therapy if necessary.

Dietary supplements and symbiotic cultures of bacteria are used in commercial poultry farms to stimulate the birds’ metabolism. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of Effective Microorganisms (EMTM) administered in feed and water to quails infected and not infected with C. parvum on selected serum biochemical parameters. The resulting infection with C. parvum was subclinical, and parasitological tests revealed no ooysts in fecal samples, but in histopathological examination parasites were seen in the tissue samples. Blood for biochemical analysis was sampled on days 0, 3, 6 and 9 post infection. Lower CHOL levels, lower LDH activity and higher TP content were observed in quails administered EM. Changes in the remaining parameters (ALT, AST, ALB) remained within the respective norms.
