Abstract: Dogs and cats in Brazil serve as primary hosts for a considerable number of parasites, which may affect their health and wellbeing. These may include endoparasites (e.g., protozoa, cestodes, trematodes, and nematodes) and ectoparasites (i.e., fleas, lice, mites, and ticks). While some dog and cat parasites are highly host-specific (e.g., Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Felicola subrostratus for cats, and Angiostrongylus vasorum and Trichodectes canis for dogs), others may easily switch to other hosts, including… Show more

“…Regarding gastrointestinal parasites, dogs are hosts for several species, including widespread parasites that affect humans such as the helminths Ancylostoma caninum and Toxocara canis (Dantas-Torres and Otranto, 2014). Hookworms (Ancylostoma sp.)…”

“…(Cantacessi et al 2015;Dantas-Torres and Otranto 2014). Some must have infected people in pre-Columbian times based on osteological (Enciso et al 2001), immunological (Frías et al 2013), and other palaeopathological data (Costa Junqueira et al 2009;Marsteller et al 2011), the recovery of ceramics showing human faces disfigured by what looks like mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (which is restricted to Latin America), and sixteenth-century Spanish descriptions of the disease, though comparable evidence of the almost always fatal visceral form is understandably lacking (Lainson 2012).…”

“…Os cães podem ser parasitados por piolhos, ácaros produtores de sarna, pulgas, carrapatos, piolhos e larvas de moscas. O grau de severidade à saúde do hospedeiro é influenciado pela imunidade do mesmo e o tamanho da carga parasitária (DANTAS-TORRES; OTRANTO, 2014).…”

“…Além disso, não é incomum o contato dos cães de áreas rurais de Rio Branco com animais silvestres, outra população de hospedeiros. Ainda é desconhecida a ocorrência de ectoparasitas permutados entre animais silvestres e cães de caça (DANTAS-TORRES; OTRANTO, 2014). Não foram encontrados estudos sobre a ectofauna parasitária em caninos domésticos no município de Rio Branco, Acre, Amazônia Ocidental, desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a epidemiologia de carrapatos, pulgas, piolhos e larvas de miíases em cães oriundos na área peri-rural.…”

“…Ectoparasitism occupy a prominent place among the parasitic diseases that affect farm animals, raising direct and indirect costs, due to the drop of the animals' yield and the need for a sanitary control (Fonseca et al, 2009). Meanwhile, for companion animals, the problem is also severe, since it directly compromises their welfare, besides representing a risk to human health, due to zoonotic transmission (Dantas-Torres and Otranto, 2014).…”
