“…Sometimes very intense infections lead to a dramatic deterioration of animal health, even with fatal outcomes (Ballweber et al, 2010;Luis Enrique et al, 2018). However, the intestinal parasites in dogs and cats proceed more often without clinical manifestation (Bilgic et al, 2020;Moreira et al, 2018;Li et al, 2019;Mircean et al, 2012;Stafford et al, 2020); what represents an epidemiological risk because asymptomatic animals can be a source of infection to humans when potentially zoonotic parasites are involved (Bilgic et al, 2020;Ilic et al, 2016;Nguyen et al, 2022). Worldwide published research papers show that intestinal parasites in dogs and cats are widespread Mircean et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2014;Unterkofler et al, 2022;Sweet et al, 2020;Nguyen et al, 2022;Abere et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2020).…”

Summary This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of Toxocara canis/cati, Strongyloides stercoralis, Giardia spp., and Cryptosporidium spp., which occur and are potentially zoonotic to humans in domestic dogs and cats in Moscow (Russia). The fecal flotation method and larvae detection by microscopy of a direct feces smear were performed to detect Toxocara, Giardia spp., and Cryptosporidium spp. The total parasitic prevalence in dogs was as follows: Giardia spp.: 10.2 % (226/2208), Cryptosporidium spp.: 2.7 % (60/2208), T. canis: 2 % (45/2208), S. stercoralis larvae: 1.1 % (25/2208). The younger animals under were infected more than those over 12 months of age (p<0.001). The preva lence rates were along these lines: Giardia spp. (18.2 %), Cryptosporidium spp. (5.7 %), T.canis (3 %), S. stercoralis larvae (2.3 %). The overall prevalence in cats was as follows: Giardia spp. - 5.2 % (71/1350), Cryptosporidium spp. - 4.8 % (65/1350), T. cati - 4.1 % (56/1350). Similarly to dogs, the infection rates were higher in cats under 12 months of age Giardia spp. (8.2 %), Cryptosporidium spp. (8.6 %), T. cati (7.5 %. Analysis of combined infections in dogs revealed the following combinations: Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. (35.5 %) larvae of S. stercoralis sp. and Giardia spp. (32.3 %), T.canis and Giardia spp. (22.6 %), T.canis and Cryptosporidium spp. (6.6 %), T.canis and S.stercoralis and (3.2 %), respectively. In cats, only two coinfections by Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. (58.3 %), and T.cati with Giardia spp. (41.7 %) were noticed. Further research is needed to study the spread of parasitic diseases in pet animals. The data will improve countermeasures to prevent these diseases’ spread among animals and humans.
