The results reported here should also encourage future work that examines different scenarios of infection with S. stercoralis in dogs and humans in South America. This case report shows the importance of further investigation into potential transmission events and prevalences of S. Furthermore, unlike in human cases following treatment with ivermectin, the dog was negative after moxidectin treatment according to polymerase chain reaction of the sampled faeces. stercoralis infection in dogs, but was found in the present study to be highly related to the haplotype (HP16) of a zoonotic variant and divergent from those previously described from human patients in Argentina. We identified a haplotype (HP20) that has previously only been related to S. To confirm this finding, molecular diagnosis (18S ribosomal RNA) and analysis of the cox1 gene were performed. Coproparasitological analysis using the Baermann technique revealed the presence of rhabditiform larvae morphologically compatible with S. The patient was a female wired-haired Teckel dog exhibiting recurrent coughing. stercoralis infection and its genotyping in a domestic dog from Argentina. This study presents, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of S. Strongyloides stercoralis is a soil-transmitted intestinal nematode with a complex life cycle that primarily affects humans, non-human primates, dogs, and occasionally cats.
