“…After making the measurements using video micrometric, the overall length of Trichostrongylus larvae is 621.15 to 818.9 μm. These results follow the literature, 619-796 μm long (Bowman 2014). In Indonesia, Trichostrongylus infection in agile gibbon and siamang has not reported.…”

Samples feces were collected from three heads of agile gibbon and three heads of siamang using direct smear, flotation, sedimentation, and McMaster methods. Identification is achieved by using faecal cultures to obtain larvae of parasitic worm. Identification result indicated that male agile gibbon (W/I) infected by two types of parasitic worms (Trichostrongylus and Strongyloides). In contrast, female agile gibbon (W/IIa and W/IIb), placed in the same cage as a male agile gibbon are uninfected by a parasitic worm. Male siamang (S/IA) put in a different cage with others is uninfected. Male siamang (S/IB) ia infected by three types of parasitic worms (Trichostrongylus, Strongyloides, and Cooperia) while the female siamang (S/IIB) that placed in the same cage with S/IB infected with one type of parasitic worm (Trichuris). Each egg account results showed no amount exceeding 300 eggs per gram of feces. This led to the degree of infection in agile gibbon and siamang at Serulingmas Zoological Garden, belonging to a common disease. It can be concluded that the type of parasitic worms found in the agile gibbon at Serulingmas Zoological Garden namely Trichostrongylus and Strongyloides while the variety of parasitic worms found in the siamang namely Trichuris, Trichostrongylus, Strongyloides, and Cooperia.

“…The One Health approach supports global health security by collaboration and communication at the human-animal-environment interface to address shared health threats such as zoonotic diseases, and others. The zoonotic parasitic diseases transmitted by dogs´ feces are considered under this approach, since it interferes with animal and human health, and its propagation generally occurs in the environment (3). In addition, the concept of one health contemplates the consequences produced by climate change (1), a determining factor in the transmission of canine soiltransmitted helminths (cSTH).…”

“…The high number of free-roaming dogs found in urban areas can serve as a source of pathogens which may be dangerous to humans; dogs can act as definitive hosts for a high number of parasites (3), some of which are considered zoonotic because they can cause disease in humans. Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati, and Ancylostoma caninum are, respectively, the primary species of zoonotic cSTHs.…”

IntroductionCanine soil-transmitted helminth (cSTH) parasites need specific environmental conditions to complete their life cycle. Toxocara canis and T. cati are the most important zoonotic cSTH, since they are the causal agents of human toxocariasis. Canine STHs are dispersed in feces from infected domestic and wildlife canines. In this study, the presence of STH in canine feces was evaluated in 34 crowded public parks and squares from San Juan Province (Argentina).MethodsFecal samples were collected during different seasons in 2021–2022 and analyzed by standard coprological methods, including Sheather and Willis flotation and Telemann sedimentation. InfoStat 2020, OpenEpi V. 3.01 and R and RStudio® were used for statistical analysis and QGIS 3.16.10 for mapping.ResultsFrom a total of 1,121 samples collected, 100 (8.9%) were positive for at least one intestinal parasite (IP) and three cSTH species were detected: Toxocara spp., Toxascaris leonina and Trichuris vulpis. The most prevalent cSTH species was T. vulpis (64/1121; 0.057%), while the least prevalent was Toxocara spp. (19/1121; 0.017%). The detection of Toxocara spp. eggs was significantly different depending on the season. The geo-spatial variation of each cSTH per season is described.DiscussionThis is the first study in San Juan Province to identify environmental contamination of cSTHs in public areas. The specific localization of areas with the presence of cSTH eggs could provide information to guide strategies to reduce the cSTH infection burden in dogs and promote serological screening of the human population for Toxocara spp. Given the zoonotic nature of Toxocara spp. We hope this information will help to reinforce activities of control programs, focusing on the “One Health” approach.
