The whole experience was memorable! Kuldeep & Meghana Thank you very much Paresh & Ameya. We really enjoyed our rst jungle safari. They really managed each and everything right from picking up from Nagpur airpo. We really enjoyed the hospitality and the experience they have. I wish Footloose Journeys all the very best and looking forward to many more jungle safaris with them. Pratik Humnabadkar Thank you Footloose for arranging an excellent trip to Nagzira camp. Everything went very well and I had a great time.It was amazing to watch stars at night and hear Owl calls throught the camp. Great personalised tour , keep it up ! Katherine Welch We had an amazing time with Paresh and his team! I was in a group of ten law students and two professors and the Footloose team tailored the trip to our interests (environmental law, policy, and endangered species protection and conservation). We met with a top tiger conservationist and learned about eos to protect tiger habitat in central India. We stayed in a stunning reso for two days just outside Kahna National Park and took several beautiful rides through the park and saw some incredible wildlife. Footloose also arranged for us to meet with some of the people who were displaced when the park was formed so we could learn about their way of life and how they work to protect the forest. I denitely recommend planning a trip with Footloose Journeys. They are very responsive and easy to work with. Amruta Deshmukh It was my very rst experience into the raw jungle and my decision to explore Tadoba with Footloose Journeys was truly beautiful! The entire trip was very well organised and wasn't disappointed at any point of time. The crew (Paresh,our guides,drivers) were very interactive and kept enlightening us about the stories of the jungle. Awaiting for the next journey :) Gaurav Bansod Best in class. Always a delight to travel with them as trips are very well planned and managed. The eco tourism experience oered is really unique and takes you closer to nature. Budget friendly with really good resos, great food choices and amazing safaris. The team is very knowledgeable on various aspects of jungles and make sure that your experience is totally woh it.

  • Parasitosis in Wild Felids of India: an Overview

But only a few detailed studies and sporadic case reports are available on the prevalence of parasites in captive wild animals, and the knowledge of parasites and parasitic diseases in wild animals is still in its infancy. The family felidae comprises the subfamily felinae and pantherinae, and within those are all large and small cats. Most of the available reports on parasites in felids describe helminthic infections, which caused morbidities and occasional mortalities in the infected animals. The parasites most frequently found include the nematodes Toxocara, Toxascaris, Baylisascaris, Strongyloides, Gnathostoma, Dirofilaria and Galonchus, the trematode Paragonimus and the cestodes Echinococcus and Taenia. Almost all the studies identified the parasitic stages by classical parasitological techniques and only a few new studies confirmed the species using molecular techniques. Amongst the protozoan parasitic infections reported in felids: babesiosis, trypanosomiasis and coccidiosis are most commonly found.
