“…Moreover, since 2006 in Warsaw they are obligated to clean up after their dogs, that might protect the environment against spreading of parasite infections. Both in dogs and cats the eggs of roundworms were identified more often in young animals than in older ones, which is in line with the results obtained in previous epidemiological studies on the prevalence of the nematodes of the genus Toxocara, and it seems obvious that this observation results from intrauterine and lactogenic route of infection (5,9,30,32,34,38). Correlations between toxocarosis and the sex of the animals were observed in both dogs and cats, but they were statistically insignificant.…”

The aim of the study was to analyse canine and feline infections with intestinal parasites basing on routine coproscopic tests. In total 5,809 results were analysed. Infections with Giardia intestinalis (6.93% – in dogs, 4.56% – in cats) and Toxocara spp. (4.07% – in dogs, 5.42% – in cats) were the most commonly noted. The majority of intestinal parasitic infections were identified more frequently in younger animals (under 1 year of age) as compared to older ones. This study showed the increase in the prevalence of coccidia (from 1% to 2.53%) and whipworms (from 2.6% to 3.07%) in dogs and a decrease in roundworm and hookworm related diseases in comparison to previous reports (years 1974-2002). The results showed changes in infection prevalence of both protozoan species (G. intestinalis and Cystoisospora spp.) both in dogs and cats, which suggests that climate conditions had an influence on the infection prevalence of the mentioned species. Moreover, the age of animals had an influence on the infection prevalence of intestinal parasites in dogs. However, there was no influence of both dogs’ and cats’ sex on the average infection prevalence of investigated parasites.

“…This trend likely reflects an increased awareness among dog owners about parasitic diseases, increased use of deworming and preventative protocols, and the improved efficacy of new products on the market (Palmer et al, 2010). The odds of being positive for parasites decreased by 4% each year, which is in agreement with other studies (Barutzki and Schaper, 2013;Sudan et al, 2015;Tamponi et al, 2017).…”

“…According to some studies, monoparasitism appears to be much more common than polyparasitism in pets presented to a teaching hospital (Kirkpatrick, 1988;Sudan et al, 2015), monoparasitism (38.1%) was less frequent than polyparasitism (46.7%). Additionally, the low socio-economic conditions can affect the host-parasite relationship, leading to more pet scavenging for food and therefore more parasite exposure (Schurer et al, 2014).…”

Although many studies on the frequency of endoparasites in dogs and cats in Canada have been reported, seasonal and/or annual patterns are often not evaluated. The frequency and risk factors of endoparasite infections from fecal samples of cats and dogs submitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island-Canada were 2 determined, using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Investigated predictors of endoparasitism available in the 2000 to 2017 database included sex, age, geographic origin and seasonality. A total of 15,016 dogs and 2,391 cats were evaluated for endoparasite status using specific diagnostic tests: direct smear, Baermann, and/or 33% zinc sulfate solution in a standardized centrifugal flotation method. Overall, twelve and eight parasite genera were detected in dogs and cats, respectively. The overall proportional infection was 14.6%, and the cat population showed a higher frequency of positivity to parasites compared to the dog population (P<0.001). The most frequent genera recovered in the whole population (dogs and cats), were Giardia duodenalis (5.2%), Cystoisospora spp. (3.3%) and Toxocara spp. (3.2%). Endoparasitism levels were diagnosed more in feces submitted from young, female intact dogs from PEI compared to the baselines of mature, sterilized male dogs from other provinces, respectively, and diagnoses occurred more often in autumn months than in winter months. There was no significant diagnostic trend across the years for the individual parasites models. The frequency of detected potentially zoonotic parasites in this study highlights the veterinary public health and One Health context of parasitic infections in pets. Although the presented results are not from a random sample and therefore frequency results should be interpreted with caution, the model relationship results may still be relevant. In addition, results are of value to estimate parasite impact and to assist researchers, veterinarians and pet-owners with suitable information to control parasites.

“…A significantly high proportion of young dogs were infected with Ancylostoma caninum, Toxocara canis and Cystoisospora sp. Some age-dependent analyses have shown that puppies are more susceptible to these intestinal parasites than adult dogs [6,26]. Particularly, younger dogs are more exposed to Toxocara canis and Ancylostoma caninum infections because they can acquire these helminths by several routes such as transmammary routes by migrating larvae, ingestion of embryonated eggs from the environment or finally by somatic larvae via paratenic hosts [6].…”

Dogs harbour a variety of intestinal parasites, some of which have a negative impact in their health status and also have a relevant health-risk impact for human beings. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in a population of stray and domestic dogs from Havana, Cuba. Serial stool samples from 293 dogs, derived in 178 stray dogs and 115 domestic dogs were analyzed by parasitological techniques, comprising direct wet mount, flotation and sedimentation techniques. The associationbetween the infected dogs with the variables: age, sex and provenance (domestic or stray) weredetermined. In total, 168 dogs (57.3%) were infected at least with one intestinal parasite of veterinarian importance. The zoonotic helminths Ancylostoma caninum (45.4%) and Toxocara canis (25.3%) were the species more prevalent. Cystoisospora sp., (9.2%) was the protozoa infection more frequently identified. Infection rates were statistically significant in stray dogs than their counterparts, especially to infections caused by A. caninum and T. canis. There were not found significant differences regarding the sex of the canids with the infecting parasite. Puppies were more prone to infection with the majority of intestinal parasites identified compared with the adult dogs and had a high level of co infection as well. It is advisable to follow up the monitoring of faecal pollution with canine intestinal parasites in urban environments for understanding the dynamics of zoonotic helminths and make an integrated approach in order to minimize the risk of infection in different settings.
