Abstract: Coprological examination of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites and their life stages in humans and dogs and in soil was carried out in a low income tea estate community in the Central Province. This community has limited access to public health facilities and veterinary services and lives in close contact with free roaming dogs. Parasites in faeces were isolated and identified morphologically and morphometrically using microscopical methods, followed by molecular confirmation of selected protozoans. Soil samples … Show more

“…The eggs from these ascarids are common environmental contaminants of human habitation [10]. Higher rates of soil contamination (10-30%) with Toxocara eggs have been found globally in the vicinity where children commonly play, like backyards, playing grounds, and recreational parks, and viable eggs can survive for up to fifty-two weeks [11], [26] [45]. Mohammed [10] reported that out of 764 soil samples collected from relaxation parks in Abuja, Nigeria, helminth eggs were found in 68% of the samples studied.…”

“…Dogs are kept under homebased tethering (chaining or in a cage) and free roaming rearing methods ( 19 ). In this study, it was noted that there are specific dogs that do not belong to any of these two major systems and are referred to as “stray dogs.” Dogs that are not under anyone's management or ownership freely mingle with the community dogs, posing a risk to animal and public health ( 20 ). Indeed, all free roaming dogs pose a potential risk for disease transmission (in case of non-vaccination status) or other harm, even if they just roam during the night.…”

“…Інтенсивна міграція тварин, недотримання санітарно-гігієнічних правил їхнього утримання та низький рівень ветеринарного обслуговування сприяють поширенню паразитозів, у тому числі тих, джерелом інвазії яких є домашні м'ясоїдні, такі як собаки і коти (Rubel & Wisnivesky, 2005;Dubná et al, 2007;Johnson et al, 2015). Тому автори свідчать, що проблема запобігання поширенню паразитарних хвороб у собак є надзвичайно актуальною та потребує комплексного підходу до її вирішення, де важливе епідеміологічне та епізоотологічне значення має дослідження поширення паразитозів залежно від регіону (Little et al, 2009;Bandaranayaka et al, 2019;Michalczyk et al, 2019;Sepalage et al, 2020).…”
