“…However, many surveys conducted worldwide show that the spectrum of flea species found on dogs varies largely in the different geographical areas. The prevalence of C. canis appears to be greater than that of C. felis felis or at least equivalent in many regions: Ireland (Baker and Hatch, 1972), Greece (Koutinas et al, 1995), Albania (Xhaxhiu et al, 2009), Hungary (Farkas et al, 2009), Korea (Chee et al, 2008), New Zealand (Guzman, 1984), Argentina (Gonzales et al, 2004), and Chile (Alcaino et al, 2002). In areas where C. felis felis appears to be predominant, C. canis still represents a considerable proportion of the flea population: 11.2% in France (Franc et al, 1998), 10% in Spain (Gracia et al, 2007), 12.5% in Germany (Beck et al, 2006), and 21% in the USA (Durden et al, 2005).…”

“…However, the other species have not been previously reported. It was reported that C. canis was the dominant species in Dublin [14], rural England [13], and Australia [15]. However, Harman et al [26] reported that C. canis was not identified among the dogs examined for fleas in Florida.…”

“…Different species of ticks and fleas may infest dogs and cats in different geographical regions. C. felis was the most prevalent species in London (Beresford-Jones 1981), Egypt (Amin 1966), and Denmark (Kristensen et al 1978), while C. canis was the dominant species in dogs in rural parts of the United Kingdom (Chesney 1995), Dublin (Baker and Hatch 1972), and Australia (Coman et al 1981). Pulex irritans was the prevalent species in dogs of the southern part of USA (Kalkofen and Greenberg 1974), and this species was also commonly found in dogs in Hawaii (Haas and Wilson 1967).…”

Background:The objective was to determine the prevalence of ectoparasite infestations in referred companion dogs to veterinary hospital of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, from 2009 to 2010.Methods:A total of 126 dogs were sampled for ectoparasites and examined by parasitological methods. The studied animals were grouped based on the age (<1 year, 1–3 years and >3 years), sex, breed and regionResults:Thirty six out of 126 referred dogs (28.57%) were positive for external ectoparasites. The most common ectoparasites were Heterodoxus spinigera, which were recorded on 11 dogs (8.73%). Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Sarcoptes scabiei, Otodectes cynotis, Xenopsylla cheopis, Cetenocephalides canis, Cetenocephalides felis, Hippobosca sp. and myiasis (L3 of Lucilia sp.) were identified on 9 (7.14%), 7 (5.56%), 6 (4.76%), 3 (2.38%), 3 (2.38%), 2 (1.59%), 2 (1.59%) and one (0.79%) of the studied dogs respectively. Mixed infestation with two species of ectoparasites was recorded on 8 (6.35%). Prevalence was higher in male dogs (35.82%; 24 out of 67) than females (20.34%; 12 out of 59), age above 3 years (31.81%; 7 out of 22) and in the season of winter (30.95%; 13 out of 42), but the difference was not significant regarding to host gender, age and season (P> 0.05).Conclusion:Apparently this is the first study conducted in companion dogs of Ahvaz District, South-west of Iran. Our results indicated that lice and ticks were the most common ectoparasites in dogs of this area. The zoonotic nature of some ectoparasites can be regard as a public health alert.
