“…In Pakistan, transmission in the sheep-dog assemblage is important and the lack of abattoirs in rural communities and home slaughter of livestock is common, especially on religious occasions. Lack of public awareness concerning CE transmission, poor hygienic conditions and improper disposal of offal support the access of Echinococcus cysts to dogs (Latif et al, 2010 In India, transmission is strongly related to cultural, educational, socioeconomical and agricultural factors (Traub et al, 2005). Uncontrolled home slaughter, especially for religious events, is common.…”

“…Moreover, a wide range of susceptible captive and wild animals may be involved in transmission which has so far not been studied in detail. Despite numerous case reports in humans, especially for India, few epidemiological studies have been performed in southern Asia and so far no large regional or national control programs have been initiated (Traub et al, 2005).…”

“…Children, the elderly and immunocompromised people are at greatest risk in developing countries, which, in conjunction with the lack of veterinary attention and zoonotic awareness, increases the risks of disease transmission (Traub et al 2005). Understanding the epidemiology of zoonotic parasitic infections is important for the minimization of risk to humans.…”

Prevalence of canine toxocariasis in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India

et al. 2012

Toxocara canis is one of the most common parasitic helminth worm of dogs and also a causative agent of zoonotic disease in humans. This pilot study was conducted to determine the presence of T. canis infection in dog population in and around Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India. A total of 558 faecal samples both from stray and owned dogs were screened and overall 24.3 % dogs were found positive for T. canis. A comparison between owned and stray dogs suggests that the higher prevalence was observed in the latter group. The age of the dogs had a considerable influence on prevalence, with a much higher proportion of younger dogs being infected. Among the stray dogs, the infection rate is much higher (62.79 %) in pups, as compared to 7.8 % in adult. Similarly, of the owned dogs screened 41.74 % pups were infected while the infection rate in adults was only 3.38 %. The higher rate of prevalence of this parasite in dogs could be the source of soil contamination for transmission of Toxocariasis which is of public health importance in this region.

“…Coprophagy of either human or pig faeces by dogs is also suspected by the finding of Ascaris sp. eggs (Traub et al, 2005). Recently, infection of A. lumbricoides in dogs was reported in an endemic region for this human parasite (Shalaby et al, 2010), suggesting that active infection with A. lumbricoides may occur in dogs in the study area.…”
