“…These results differ from the ones found by Balassiano et al (2009), Ederli et al (2005), Pivoto et al (2013) and Awadallah & Salem (2015), who did not find any association between infection and water source or type of feeding. However, our findings were in accordance with the results found by Moura et al (2009).…”

“…The variable of access to streets did not present any significant value in the present study (p = 0.612), and this was concordant with the findings of Balassiano et al (2009) and Pivoto et al (2013). However, Olabanji et al (2016) observed a relationship between this variable and infection, and stated that dogs that were free to roam the streets presented higher exposure to oocysts because they were in contact with contaminated environments and interacted with other infected animals.…”

“…On the other hand, similar frequencies were described by Pereira et al (2011), who reported that oocysts of this protozoon were present in 29.5% of the dogs and 24.7% of the cats that were evaluated in their study. In addition, Balassiano et al (2009) found oocysts in 26.2% of the dogs that they studied in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro.…”

This study investigated the frequency of oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. in feces from dogs and cats in five municipalities in the southern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The risk factors associated with infection were also investigated. Feces samples from 110 dogs and 18 cats were stained using the auramine method. At the time of feces sampling, a questionnaire with semi-open-ended questions was applied to the animal guardians and all data obtained underwent statistical analysis. The real frequency of oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. was 24.63% (27 dogs and two cats). Only four samples of dog feces were diarrheic and no presence of oocysts was observed in any of them. Variables that represented risk factors for infection were: homemade food, untreated water, circulation of animals on grassy terrain and living in the same environment as other animals (cattle). The results made it possible to inferring that within the population studied, the frequency of parasitism due to Cryptosporidium spp. in dogs was relevant and emphasize the asymptomatic nature of this infection. The adopting control measures are highlighted, particularly in relation to variables that represent risk factors for this infection.

En Bélgica un estudio similar, determinó que el 18.1% de los animales analizados presentaban este agente parasitario (24), de igual manera se halló una prevalencia del 7,4% en caninos sin domicilio de Irán (25). En Colombia se reportó un valor del 4,5% para la ciudad Popayán (16).…”

ResumenIntroducción: Las enfermedades parasitarias son un problema de salud pública al ser causadas por agentes patógenos que afectan animales domésticos, los que a su vez pueden infectar humanos, principalmente en países ubicados en áreas tropicales. Objetivo: Identificar parásitos intestinales que afectan a caninos domiciliados de la zona urbana del municipio de Coyaima, y determinar la prevalencia y las variables asociadas al parasitismo en el área de estudio. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal de febrero del 2011 a marzo del 2012, recolectando muestras de 175 caninos domiciliados de la zona urbana del municipio de Coyaima, las cuales se procesaron mediante la técnica de concentración formol -éter para la identificación de estadios de huevos de helmintos y quistes de protozoarios. Los datos fueron v20 tabulados y analizados con el programa estadístico SPSS . Resultados: La prevalencia hallada para el parasitismo intestinal canino de la zona urbana del municipio de Coyaima fue del 53,1%, siendo estos resultados concordantes con los reportados por otros autores en estudios similares, realizados en países latinoamericanos. Conclusiones: La población canina de la zona urbana del municipio de Coyaima presenta afección por parásitos gastrointestinales, siendo entidades prevalentes Uncinarias, 20,6%, Toxocara canis 8,6%, Strongyloides spp., 2,9%, Entamoeba spp., 21,1%, Blastocystis spp., 18,3% y Giardia spp., 16%, entre las cuales se destacan, agentes etiológicos de relevancia por su carácter zoonótico, como los causantes de la toxocariosis, la migración larvaria cutánea y la giardiasis, entre otras. Se recomienda implementar campañas de educación en la población en general y ejecutar acciones de prevención por parte de estamentos responsables de la salud animal.

Objective: Identify the intestinal parasites in dogs of the Coyaima urban area, also the prevalence and associated variables that are involved with the parasitism in the study area. Materials and Methods: it was developed study between February 2011 to March 2012 where were collected 175 dog's samples in the Coyaima urban area.

“…Among animals, cats and rodents are considered important reservoirs for a wide range of zoonotic parasites. For example, cats may harbour several species of gastrointestinal parasites (e.g., Ancylostoma tubaeforme, A. brasiliensis, Toxocara cati and Toxoplasma gondii), and shed their immature stages through the faeces, contaminating the environment (BALASSIANO et al, 2009;COSTA et al, 2012;BEUGNET et al, 2014;MONTEIRO et al, 2016;SARAVANAN et al, 2016).…”

Gastrointestinal parasites are important pathogens affecting animals, some of them are of medical and veterinary concern. Although the dynamic of parasitic infections is a complex phenomenon that has been studied under experimental conditions, it shows several gaps in knowledge, especially in insular regions where a confined population of animals and parasites co-exists. In this study was assessed the parasitism by endoparasite gastrointestinal in feral cats (n = 37) and rodents (n = 30) from the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago; in addition, the risk of human infection and ecological implications of these findings were discussed. Out of all samples analysed, 100% scored positive for the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in both feral cats and rodents. A total 17 genera and/or species of endoparasite gastrointestinal were identified, Ancylostoma sp., Strongyloides sp., Trichuris campanula and Toxocara cati were the parasites more frequently in feral cats. In rodents Eimeria sp., Strongyloides sp. and Trichuris muris were parasites more frequently herein detected. Human population living in this area are at risk of parasite infections due to the population of rodents and feral cats in the archipelago.Keywords: Helminths, protozoal disease, zoonosis, synanthropic animals. ResumoParasitas gastrointestinais são importantes agentes patogênicos que afetam os animais, sendo alguns destes de interesse médico e veterinário. Embora a dinâmica das infecções parasitárias seja um fenômeno complexo que tem sido estudado sob condições experimentais, existem várias lacunas no conhecimento, especificamente em regiões insulares onde existem populações confinadas de animais e parasitas. Neste estudo foi avaliado o parasitismo por endoparasitas gastrointestinais em gatos ferais (n = 37) e roedores (n = 30) do Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha. Além disso, discutiu-se o risco de infecção humana e implicações ecológicas desses achados. De todas as amostras analisadas, 100% obtiveram resultados positivos para a presença de parasitos gastrointestinais tanto em gatos ferais quanto em roedores. Um total de 17 gêneros e/ou espécies de endoparasitos gastrointestinais foram identificados, Ancylostoma sp., Strongyloides sp., Trichuris campanula e Toxocara cati foram os parasitos mais frequentes em gatos ferais. Em roedores Eimeria sp., Strongyloides sp. e Trichuris muris foram os mais detectados. A população humana que vive nesta área corre o risco de infecções parasitárias, devido à população de roedores e gatos ferais no arquipélago.Palavras-chave: Helmintos, doenças protozoárias, zoonoses, animais sinantrópicos.
