“…In addition, in this region, there are many channels for dispersal of the waters of this river to prevent Dioctophyme renale: prevalence and risk factors in dogs flooding (Figure 1). This is important not only in relation to parasitism among dogs, but also because infection by this parasite is zoonotic (URANO et al, 2001;IGNJATOVIC et al, 2003;TOKIWA et al, 2014). This may be affecting the population of the district and verification of this high prevalence in dogs indicates that there is a need for studies concerning the prevalence in humans, mainly because the population use the river to fishing for food (fish, frogs), drinking and recreation.…”

“…Embora a maioria dos peixes destinados à alimentação humana seja eviscerada, larvas L3 do parasita podem ser encontradas na musculatura dos peixes, evidenciando um potencial risco para consumidores e sendo dessa forma uma parasitose de importância em saúde publica (Pedrassani & Nascimento 2015). Na literatura há diversos relatos da parasitose em humanos (Urano et al 2001, Ignjatovic et al 2003, inclusive da parasitose renal bilateral (Li et al 2010).…”
