More than 1200 biological samplings were collected from the free-ranging dogs of various ages and biotopes that allowed to study the diversity of their helminth fauna. The results of investigations revealed that 95% of researched dogs are infested with multiple parasites mostly endoparasites (Eimeria canis, Dipilidium caninum, Echinococcus granulosus, Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma caninum and Trichocephalus vulpis.). It was established that the level of contamination with the all above mentioned parasites in free-ranging dogs is hogher in the adult dogs compared to the young ones. The young dogs were predominantly infested with parasites from the class Sporozoite (Eimeria canis) and the Nematoda class (Toxocara leonina). The level of contamination with parasites of the free-rangeging dogs is higher in the rural regions compared to the urban area.

AbstractA study of gastrointestinal parasites in 269 faecal samples from dogs (Canis familiaris) collected from Ile-Ife, Nigeria between January and December 2004, revealed seven helminth species:Toxocara canis33.8%,Ancylostomasp. 34.6%,Toxascaris leonina3.3%,Trichuris vulpis3.7%,Dipylidium caninum4.1%,Uncinaria stenocephala0.7% andTaeniasp. 1.1%. The faecal egg intensities, determined as mean eggs per gram of faeces ( ± SEM) were:T. canis393.8 ± 83.4,Ancylostomasp. 101.5 ± 32.8,T. leonina14.3 ± 7.9,T. vulpis3.4 ± 1.5,D. caninum2.2 ± 0.8,U. stenocephala0.2 ± 0.2. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in dogs of age 0–6 months than in older age groups. There was no significance difference in overall prevalence of intestinal helminth parasites between male (58.3%) and female (50.0%) dogs (P>0.05). The prevalence of helminth parasites was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in free-ranging than in kennelled dogs. The prevalence of helminth parasites was also significantly higher (P < 0.05) in African shepherds than in Alsatians and other exotic breeds. Each helminth parasite had similar prevalences and intensities among both genders (P>0.05) except inT. vulpis. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasites may continue to rise due to lack of functional veterinary clinics for dog care in Ile-Ife. Therefore, there is the need to establish a veterinary facility in Ile-Ife.

Today, one of the important problems in the cultivation and maintenance of agricultural and domestic animals, both in industrial and private farms, is the spread of ecto- and endoparasites, which cause a significant decline in animal productivity, endanger their health and cause economic losses. The study of the level of distribution and conducting of diagnostic studies on parasitoses of animals in farms with different production orientation is an important and integral part of the overall complex of preventive and health-improving measures. The research was carried out during 2007–2017 in livestock enterprises of Kharkiv Oblast. As a part of the research work, 540 samples were collected from livestock farms, of which 180 were from the premises for keeping pigs, 100 from premises for keeping sheep, 120 from premises for keeping cattle, 80 from premises for dogs and 60 – from the surrounding territories of the livestock enterprises. We found that the objects of livestock rearing (pig complex, sheep farm, dairy farm, cynological center) in Kharkiv Oblast have a significant level of sanitary contamination with exogenous forms of helminths (21.7–45.6%) and the soil of the territories (20.0–36.6%). From samples taken from premises for pigs, eggs of four morphotypes were isolated (Ascaris suum – 5.3%, Trichuris suis – 14.6%, Oesophagostomum dentatum – 60.6%, Strongyloides ransomi – 19.4%), from premises for sheep – three morphotypes (Dicrocoelium lanceatum – 3.8%, Trichuris ovis – 29.3%, Strongylata spp. – 46.9%), from premises for cows – three morphotypes (Neoascaris vitulorum – 2.7%, Trichuris skrjabini – 12.9%, Strongylata spp. – 34.5%), premises for dogs – four morphotypes (Toxocara canis – 6.1%, Toxascaris leonina – 5.4%, Trichuris vulpis – 20.6%, Ancylostoma caninum – 17.5%). It should be noted that the places most contaminated with eggs of helminths were manure gutters (100%) and the floor of livestock buildings (50.0–86.7%). It has also been determined that, in the conditions of the cynological center, the Musca domestica was the source of environmental contamination with exogenous forms of Toxocara canis and Trichuris vulpis, and that the Muscina stabulans and Stomoxys calcitrans can be the source of spread of larvae of Ancylostoma caninum and eggs of Trichuris vulpis respectively.

Authors studied the seasonal invasion of yard dogs by socially dangerous bio- and geohelminths on the territory of the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. In the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, during all seasons of the year, domestic dogs are the source of 9 zoonotic species of helminths, such as Metorchis bilis, Echinococcus granulosus, Dipylidium caninum, Mesocestoides lineatus, Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Dirofilaria repens, Dirofilaria imitis и Trichinella spiralis for a person. Quantitative indicators of the extent of invasion caused by socially dangerous helminths of the species Metorchis bilis, Echinococcus granulosus, Dipylidium caninum, Mesocestoides lineatus, Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Dirofilaria repens, Dirofilaria imitis и Trichinella spiralis ranging from 13.33% to 60.00%. In autumn, in domestic dogs, socially dangerous helminths of the species Metorchis bilis, Echinococcus granulosus, Dipylidium caninum, Mesocestoides lineatus, Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Dirofilaria repens, Dirofilaria imitis и Trichinella spiralis were recorded with large amounts ranging from 6.67% to 40.00%. It was established that in populations of yard dogs, the most frequently recorded species of socially dangerous helminths of zoonotic etiology in all seasons were Echinococcus granulosus, Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum.

Abstract Free-ranging grey wolves (Canis lupus), which are presently recolonizing Italy, can be parasitized by a diversity of helminths, but have rarely been subject to studies of their parasites. Therefore, this study aims to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths of road-killed grey wolves from the Piedmont region of Italy. Forty-two wolves were collected and examined for the presence of helminths. We recorded 12 helminth species: nine Nematoda and three Cestoda. The nematodes were: Ancylostoma caninum (7.1%), Capillaria sp. (2.4%), Molineus sp. (2.4%), Pterygodermatites affinis (11.9%), Physaloptera sibirica (9.5%), Toxocara canis (9.5%), Toxascaris leonina (2.4%) and Uncinaria stenocephala (26.2%); the cestodes were: Dipylidium caninum (4.8%), Mesocestoides sp. (4.8%) and Taenia multiceps (76.2%). Physaloptera sibirica had the highest mean intensity and T. multiceps had the highest prevalence. Based on age and sex, no differences in the intensity or prevalence of helminth species were found among the hosts. Molineus sp. was recorded for the first time in wolves from the Palearctic region; P. affinis and P. sibirica are respectively reported for the first time in wolves from Europe and Italy.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de parásitos intestinales en cachorros comercializados en la ciudad de Puno y evaluar la posible asociación de las variables grupo racial y tipo de comercialización (formal, informal) con la presentación de parasitismo intestinal. Se tomaron muestras fecales de 172 cachorros entre 1 y 4 meses de edad, sin distinción de sexo y grupo racial, del mercado informal, así como de veterinarias y tiendas de mascotas (formal). Las muestras fueron procesadas por las técnicas de examen directo y de concentración por flotación con solución de sulfato de zinc al 33% (GE 1.18). De las 172 muestras, 90 evidenciaron formas parasitarias (huevos, quistes u ooquistes), representando una prevalencia de 52.3%. Las prevalencias de parásitos intestinales en cachorros de raza pura y mestizos fueron de 44.2 y 60.5%, respectivamente, y de cachorros del comercio informal y formal fueron de 66.3 y 38.4%, respectivamente. Las especies encontradas fueron Dipylidium caninum, Ancylostoma caninum, Toxascaris leonina, Toxocara canis, Trichuris spp, Giardia spp, Isospora spp y Sarcocystis spp. Se observaron 11 casos de bi-parasitismo, uno de tri-parasitismo y uno de tetra-parasitismo. El tipo de comercialización estuvo asociado a la presencia de parasitismo intestinal (p<0.05), mas no el grupo racial.

SummaryThe present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal and cardio-respiratory parasites in dogs in Liguria (northwest Italy) which is a region that has scarcely been studied. A total of 450 dogs (260 males and 190 females) were enrolled in the study from 2009 and 2013. All dogs lived in a rural or semi-rural environment in the provinces of Imperia (n = 352) or Savona (n = 98), Liguria. Coprological examinations showed that 197 dogs (43.8 %, CI 38.7-48.9 %) were infected by parasites. Specifically, 3.3 % of the dogs presented only cardio-respiratory species, 32.4 % only intestinal species, and 8.0 % presented a mixed infection.The most frequent intestinal parasites wereToxocara canis(20 %),Trichuris vulpis(17.8 %), Ancylostomatidae (12 %), Coccidia (2.7 %),Aonchotheca putorii(1.8 %) andToxascaris leonina(1.8 %). The cardio-respiratory species found wereEucoleus aerophilus(9.6 %),Eucoleus boehmi(1.6 %),Angiostrongylus vasorum(0.7 %), andCrenosoma vulpis(0.2 %). A total of 116 dogs (25.8 %) were parasitized by a single species, multiple infections were observed in 81 dogs (18.0 %) up to a six-order infection.This preliminary study highlighted that the prevalence of intestinal parasites in investigated area is high. Cardio respiratory parasites were detected in an area that has not been investigated before. The creation of a more extensive sampling programme of the area, on a provincial basis in order to build a more detailed map of prevalences for different species of dog parasites throughout Liguria, a more extensive sampling programme of the area needs to be created - ideally for each province.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine the possibility of soil contamination with propagative stages of intestinal endoparasites at different public places (public parks, playgrounds, sandpits, sidewalks, road sides). In a one-year-study, totally 578 dog’s faecal samples from 8 towns (Košice, Trebišov, Veľké Kapušany, Prešov, Snina, Levoča, Zvolen and Trenčín) and 3 villages (Dlhé Stráže, Dravce, Valaliky) were examined for the presence of parasitic germs. 29.9 % of faecal samples were positive. Eight different species of intestinal parasites with following incidence were detected: Toxocara canis (11.9 %), Trichuris vulpis (8.5 %), Ancylostomatidae (8.1 %), Taenia spp. (4.0 %), Toxascaris leonina (3.1 %), Capillaria spp. (1.0 %), Dipylidium caninum (0.2 %) and Coccidia oocysts (0.2 %). Additionally 285 sandpits were examined. Sand samples were collected from Košice (136), Zvolen (38), Trenčín (36), Prešov (30), Veľké Kapušany (24), Snina (15), and village Valaliky (6). The parasitic eggs occurence in the sandpits was as follows: Toxocara spp. (11.8 %), Ancylostomatidae (1.1 %), Taenia type (0.7 %) and Trichuris spp. (0.4 %). The occurrence of Toxocara spp. varied between the urban and rural environments. The highest number of Toxocara spp. was found in village Valaliky (33.3 %) whereas cities showed lesser prevalence (Prešov — 10 %, Košice — 7.4 %, Trenčín — 5.6 %, Zvolen — 5.3 %, Veľké Kapušany — 4.2 %). The epidemiological aspects and health risk factors are also discussed.

Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de parásitos gastrointestinales en caninos menores de seis meses de edad provenientes de la venta comercial. También determinar si las variables raza, sexo y edad están asociadas a la presentación de cuadros de parasitosis. Metodología: Se recolectaron 97 muestras de heces de mascotas caninas que se comercializan en el cercado de Lima, las cuales fueron procesados mediante las técnicas de examen directo, de concentración por flotación, de concentración por sedimentación y de Ziehl Neelsen, considerándose positivas las muestras con presencia de huevos de parásito o parásitos bajo el microscopio. Resultados y Conclusiones: El 100% de las muestras analizadas fueron positivas a la presencia de parásitos. Las mayores frecuencias fueron del nemátode Toxocara canis fue (87.96%) y del protozoario Isospora canis (98.78%) ; los mismos como asociación biparasitaria (62.89%) y monoparasitarias Toxocara canis (17.56%); por primera vez se encontró una asociación de triprarasitismo de Toxocara canis - Isospora canis - Toxascaris leonina (12.37%). En los machos hubo una mayor presentación de parasitosis (57.7%) que en las hembras (42.3%). Caninos de raza pura tuvieron mayor frecuencia de presentación de parasitosis (82.5%); La edad no presentó diferencias estadísticas en los tres estratos estudiados, dándose en el estrato de ≥ 8 y < 12 semanas representados por el 41.2% de casos. La parasitosis en caninos evaluados es del 100%, siendo Toxocara canis el más frecuente.
