“…The high rate of infected dogs at the two sampling times is within the range found in previous studies in different regions of Brazil (LEITE et al, 2004;ALVES et al, 2005;BLAZIUS et al, 2005;LORENZINI et al, 2007). Ancylostoma spp.…”

“…The second most prevalent parasite found in 2009 was Strongyloides stercoralis. This result is different from most of the results found in the literature in Brazil (LEITE et al, 2004;ALVES et al, 2005;BLAZIUS et al, 2005;LORENZINI et al, 2007), but the same as in a study in the city of Rio Grande (SCAINI et al, 2003). Trichuris vulpis eggs were found in both 2009 and 2010, and similar results were observed in São Paulo (OLIVEIRA-SEQUEIRA et al, 2002), Santa Catarina (BLAZIUS et al, 2005) and Curitiba (LEITE et al, 2004).…”

“…Ancylostoma spp. was also one of the most prevalent parasite species in previous studies (LORENZINI et al, 2007;LEITE et al, 2004;CASTRO et al, 2005;GUIMARÃES et al, 2005;BLAZIUS et al, 2005). The second most prevalent parasite found in 2009 was Strongyloides stercoralis.…”

“…Toxocara canis was the main helminth found in 2010, corresponding to 58.6% of the number of eggs found. However, other studies in Brazil have indicated widely ranging lower prevalence for this parasite, from 1 to 11% (OLIVEIRA-SEQUEIRA et al, 2002;SCAINI et al, 2003;LEITE et al, 2004;ALVES et al, 2005;BLAZIUS et al, 2005;CASTRO et al, 2005;LORENZINI et al, 2007). Only a single study has demonstrated similar prevalence, of 70% (GUIMARÃES et al, 2005).…”

“…Another, other studies were conducted in the central-western region (Goiânia), southern region (Itapema, Porto Alegre, Curitiba and Rio Grande) and southeastern region (Praia Grande and Lavras), showing Ancylostoma spp. infection ranging from 9.2 to 93.7%, followed by Trichuris vulpis, from 3.25 to 32.5%, Toxocara spp., from 1.2 to 23%, and Dipylidium caninum, from 0.26 to 1.9% (SCAINI et al, 2003;LEITE et al, 2004;ALVES et al, 2005;BLAZIUS et al, 2005;CASTRO et al, 2005;GUIMARÃES et al, 2005;LORENZINI et al, 2007).…”

Domestic animals in urban areas may serve as reservoirs for parasitic zoonoses. The aim of this study was to monitor the parasitic status of household dogs in an urban area of Pinhais, in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil, after a one-year period. In May 2009, fecal samples, skin scrapings and ticks were collected from 171 dogs. Questionnaires were applied to the owners (sex, age, environment and anthelmintic use). In May 2010, 26.3% (45/171) of the dogs were fecal samples reanalysed. From the fecal samples, 33.3% (57/171) in 2009 and 64.4% (29/45) in 2010 were positive. The parasite species most observed were, respectively in 2009 and 2010, Ancylostoma sp., 66.7 and 44.8%, and Strongyloidesstercoralis, 26.3 and 3.4%. All the skin scrapings were negative, and no ticks or protozoa were found. There was no statistical association (p > 0.05) between positive fecal tests and age, sex or environment. In 2009 alone, dogs with a history of antiparasitic drug administration were 2.3 times more likely to be negative. A great number of replacement dogs was noticed one year later. Therefore, isolated antiparasitic treatment strategies may have no impact on parasite control, given the risk of introduction of new agents, thereby limiting the prevention strategies.

High prevalence of intestinal infections and ectoparasites in dogs, Minas Gerais State (southeast Brazil)

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the present study, 155 dogs euthanized by the Zoonotic Disease Unit of Uberlândia in Minas Gerais State (Southeast Brazil) were autopsied. Ectoparasites were collected, and the intestinal content of dogs was systematically examined for the presence of helminthic parasites. In total, we isolated 5,155 metazoan parasites of eight species (three intestinal helminth species, five ectoparasite species). The cestode Dipylidium caninum was present in 57 dogs (36.8 %), the nematodes Ancylostoma caninum in 30 (19.4 %) and Toxocara canis in 24 (15.5 %), respectively. Among the ectoparasites, 139 (89.7 %) dogs were infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus, 115 (74.2 %) with Ctenocephalides felis, 5 (3.2 %) with Tunga penetrans and one specimen (0.7 %) with Amblyomma cajennense, while myiasis was found in one dog (0.7 %). In logistic regression analysis, young age (adjusted odds ratio 5.74; 95 % confidence interval 1.18-27.85) and male sex (3.60; 1.24-10.40) were significantly associated with toxocariasis, and crossbreed dogs (8.20; 1.52-44.31), with dipylidiasis. Male (2.23; 1.12-4.43) and crossbreed dogs (5.17; 1.17-22.83) had also a significant higher number of concomitant parasitoses. Spatial distribution of dogs by neighbourhood identified high-risk areas. Our systematic study shows that dogs in Uberlândia carry a high number of parasites which may cause zoonotic diseases in humans; therefore, further specific evidence-based intervention measures are needed.
