Plain-English summary
This article provides an update on new and previously overlooked diseases that have been reported in dogs since 2000. It discusses five specific cases: one dog had dermatitis (skin inflammation) linked to a parasite similar to Toxoplasma gondii, a puppy was diagnosed with gastrointestinal cryptosporidiosis (a type of infection affecting the intestines), and a Labrador Retriever was found to have neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (a genetic disorder affecting the nervous system). Additionally, it mentions a rare type of cancer in the salivary glands and another form of cancer in the testicular tissue. The article serves as a resource for veterinarians to stay informed about these conditions.
Abstract

The following five cases are discussed: Dermatitis in a dog associated with an unidentified Toxoplasma gondii-like parasite. Gastrointestinal cryptosporidiosis in a puppy. Mucinous variant of rete testis adenocarcinoma. Neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis in a Labrador Retriever. Salivary gland basal cell adenocarcinoma. After a short introduction, the bibliographical data, the abstract of the author(s) and some additional information derived from the article are given.
