Une étude parasitologique a été menée en 2015 sur des chiens de sexe, âge et race différents, vivant en liberté dans la ville de Lubumbashi, République démocratique du Congo. Des échantillons de fèces ont été prélevés et analysés par coproscopie selon une méthode de flottation. Sur les 120 chiens examinés, 78 (65 %) étaient infestés, parmi lesquels 74 (61,7 %) avaient des helminthes gastro-intestinaux et 4 (3,3 %) avaient des coccidies. Les coproscopies ont révélé la présence de cinq espèces de parasites : Ankylostoma spp. (41 chiens), Toxocara canis (22), Toxascaris leonina (8), Isospora canis (4) et Dipylidium caninum (3). I. canis n’a été retrouvé que chez les chiots. Le dépistage fréquent d’ankylostomes et de T. canis suggère qu’il existe à Lubumbashi un risque de contamination de l’homme par ces parasites zoonotiques.

Aims: To study the intestinal helminth fauna of domestic and neglected dogs living in the city of Samarkand and adjacent areas of the Samarkand region and to assess their epidemiological significance. Materials and methods: 112 dogs of different ages from Samarkand and the surrounding area were examined. 45 animals were examined by the method of incomplete helminthological autopsy; diagnostic deworming was performed in 12 priotarny dogs; in 55 dogs, feces were examined once by the Fulleborn method. Results: In the examined dogs, 4 types of cestodes and 4 types of nematodes were found in the intestines. The most common type was dog tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum). The extent of invasion (EI) is 73.7%, the intensity of invasion (AI) is 5-56 copies. Taenia hydatigena tapeworm was detected during preventive deworming in 5 animals out of 12 (41.7%), and at autopsy in 18 dogs out of 45 (40%), AI 1-4 copies. The tapeworm of Echinicoccus granulosus was found in the autopsy of one dog out of 45 (EI-4.4%, AI-more than 350 copies). Mesocestoides lineatus cestodes were observed in the autopsy of 3 dogs (EI-6.7%, AI-1-2 copies). Trichuris (=Trichocephalus) vulpis lived in the caecum of 20 dissected animals (EI-88%, AI-5-23 copies). During coproscopy of feces of 55 dogs, whipworm eggs were found in 25 animals (45.5%). Males and females of Toxocara canis were found in the intestines during autopsy of 5 animals (EI -22%, AI-2-4 copies). Eggs Toxocara coproscopy found in the feces of dogs 9 out of 55 (16.4 percent). The EI of the nematode Toxascaris leonina averaged 14.0%. AI 1-3 copies. The nematode Pterygodermatites (=Rictularia) affinis was found in the singular (male) in the duodenum of one dissected dog. Conclusions: In domestic and neglected dogs living in the territory of Samarkand and the Samarkand region, it was possible to establish the presence of 8 species of intestinal helminths, of which three species are dangerous to humans and have important epidemiological significance: Echinicoccus granulosus, Dipylidium caninum and Toxocara canis.

AbstractThe prevalence of helminth species in stray dogs, from the capital city of the state of Queretaro, was evaluated. A total of 378 dogs were captured and examined for the presence of helminths from January to December 2008. The results showed that 275 (72.8%) of examined dogs were infected with one or more helminth species. Single infections were observed in 139 (50.5%) of infected dogs and 136 (49.5%) harboured mixed infections. Out of the 378 dogs examined, 208 (55.2%) presented nematodes and 182 (48.1%) cestodes. The prevalences (confidence interval) and mean intensities of infection ( ± SD) of nematodes and cestodes encountered were:Ancylostoma caninum42.9% (37.9–47.8) and 22.1 ( ± 34.3);Toxocara canis15.1% (11.8–19.0) and 8.3 ( ± 15.0);Spirocerca lupi4.5% (2.7–7.1) and 3.9 ( ± 4.8);Toxascaris leonina2.3% (1.1–4.5) and 4.8 ( ± 3.5);Physaloptera praeputialis1.9% (0.8–3.8) and 9.7 ( ± 14.9);Dirofilaria immitis1.3% (0.4–3.1) and 5.6 ( ± 2.1);Oslerus osleri0.3% (0.0–1.6) and 5 ( ± 0.0);Dipylidium caninum44.9% (40.0–50.0) and 18.1 ( ± 27.7);Taeniaspp. 6.9% (4.7–9.9) and 6.9 ( ± 7.1). There were no significant differences in prevalences observed either between female (68.5%) and male (76.8%) or between young (70.6%) and adult (74.2%) animals. No differences were observed in the ANOVA test for the mean intensity of infection of any of the parasites (P>0.05).

Abstract Free-ranging grey wolves (Canis lupus), which are presently recolonizing Italy, can be parasitized by a diversity of helminths, but have rarely been subject to studies of their parasites. Therefore, this study aims to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths of road-killed grey wolves from the Piedmont region of Italy. Forty-two wolves were collected and examined for the presence of helminths. We recorded 12 helminth species: nine Nematoda and three Cestoda. The nematodes were: Ancylostoma caninum (7.1%), Capillaria sp. (2.4%), Molineus sp. (2.4%), Pterygodermatites affinis (11.9%), Physaloptera sibirica (9.5%), Toxocara canis (9.5%), Toxascaris leonina (2.4%) and Uncinaria stenocephala (26.2%); the cestodes were: Dipylidium caninum (4.8%), Mesocestoides sp. (4.8%) and Taenia multiceps (76.2%). Physaloptera sibirica had the highest mean intensity and T. multiceps had the highest prevalence. Based on age and sex, no differences in the intensity or prevalence of helminth species were found among the hosts. Molineus sp. was recorded for the first time in wolves from the Palearctic region; P. affinis and P. sibirica are respectively reported for the first time in wolves from Europe and Italy.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de parásitos intestinales en cachorros comercializados en la ciudad de Puno y evaluar la posible asociación de las variables grupo racial y tipo de comercialización (formal, informal) con la presentación de parasitismo intestinal. Se tomaron muestras fecales de 172 cachorros entre 1 y 4 meses de edad, sin distinción de sexo y grupo racial, del mercado informal, así como de veterinarias y tiendas de mascotas (formal). Las muestras fueron procesadas por las técnicas de examen directo y de concentración por flotación con solución de sulfato de zinc al 33% (GE 1.18). De las 172 muestras, 90 evidenciaron formas parasitarias (huevos, quistes u ooquistes), representando una prevalencia de 52.3%. Las prevalencias de parásitos intestinales en cachorros de raza pura y mestizos fueron de 44.2 y 60.5%, respectivamente, y de cachorros del comercio informal y formal fueron de 66.3 y 38.4%, respectivamente. Las especies encontradas fueron Dipylidium caninum, Ancylostoma caninum, Toxascaris leonina, Toxocara canis, Trichuris spp, Giardia spp, Isospora spp y Sarcocystis spp. Se observaron 11 casos de bi-parasitismo, uno de tri-parasitismo y uno de tetra-parasitismo. El tipo de comercialización estuvo asociado a la presencia de parasitismo intestinal (p<0.05), mas no el grupo racial.

SummaryThe present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal and cardio-respiratory parasites in dogs in Liguria (northwest Italy) which is a region that has scarcely been studied. A total of 450 dogs (260 males and 190 females) were enrolled in the study from 2009 and 2013. All dogs lived in a rural or semi-rural environment in the provinces of Imperia (n = 352) or Savona (n = 98), Liguria. Coprological examinations showed that 197 dogs (43.8 %, CI 38.7-48.9 %) were infected by parasites. Specifically, 3.3 % of the dogs presented only cardio-respiratory species, 32.4 % only intestinal species, and 8.0 % presented a mixed infection.The most frequent intestinal parasites wereToxocara canis(20 %),Trichuris vulpis(17.8 %), Ancylostomatidae (12 %), Coccidia (2.7 %),Aonchotheca putorii(1.8 %) andToxascaris leonina(1.8 %). The cardio-respiratory species found wereEucoleus aerophilus(9.6 %),Eucoleus boehmi(1.6 %),Angiostrongylus vasorum(0.7 %), andCrenosoma vulpis(0.2 %). A total of 116 dogs (25.8 %) were parasitized by a single species, multiple infections were observed in 81 dogs (18.0 %) up to a six-order infection.This preliminary study highlighted that the prevalence of intestinal parasites in investigated area is high. Cardio respiratory parasites were detected in an area that has not been investigated before. The creation of a more extensive sampling programme of the area, on a provincial basis in order to build a more detailed map of prevalences for different species of dog parasites throughout Liguria, a more extensive sampling programme of the area needs to be created - ideally for each province.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine the possibility of soil contamination with propagative stages of intestinal endoparasites at different public places (public parks, playgrounds, sandpits, sidewalks, road sides). In a one-year-study, totally 578 dog’s faecal samples from 8 towns (Košice, Trebišov, Veľké Kapušany, Prešov, Snina, Levoča, Zvolen and Trenčín) and 3 villages (Dlhé Stráže, Dravce, Valaliky) were examined for the presence of parasitic germs. 29.9 % of faecal samples were positive. Eight different species of intestinal parasites with following incidence were detected: Toxocara canis (11.9 %), Trichuris vulpis (8.5 %), Ancylostomatidae (8.1 %), Taenia spp. (4.0 %), Toxascaris leonina (3.1 %), Capillaria spp. (1.0 %), Dipylidium caninum (0.2 %) and Coccidia oocysts (0.2 %). Additionally 285 sandpits were examined. Sand samples were collected from Košice (136), Zvolen (38), Trenčín (36), Prešov (30), Veľké Kapušany (24), Snina (15), and village Valaliky (6). The parasitic eggs occurence in the sandpits was as follows: Toxocara spp. (11.8 %), Ancylostomatidae (1.1 %), Taenia type (0.7 %) and Trichuris spp. (0.4 %). The occurrence of Toxocara spp. varied between the urban and rural environments. The highest number of Toxocara spp. was found in village Valaliky (33.3 %) whereas cities showed lesser prevalence (Prešov — 10 %, Košice — 7.4 %, Trenčín — 5.6 %, Zvolen — 5.3 %, Veľké Kapušany — 4.2 %). The epidemiological aspects and health risk factors are also discussed.

Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de parásitos gastrointestinales en caninos menores de seis meses de edad provenientes de la venta comercial. También determinar si las variables raza, sexo y edad están asociadas a la presentación de cuadros de parasitosis. Metodología: Se recolectaron 97 muestras de heces de mascotas caninas que se comercializan en el cercado de Lima, las cuales fueron procesados mediante las técnicas de examen directo, de concentración por flotación, de concentración por sedimentación y de Ziehl Neelsen, considerándose positivas las muestras con presencia de huevos de parásito o parásitos bajo el microscopio. Resultados y Conclusiones: El 100% de las muestras analizadas fueron positivas a la presencia de parásitos. Las mayores frecuencias fueron del nemátode Toxocara canis fue (87.96%) y del protozoario Isospora canis (98.78%) ; los mismos como asociación biparasitaria (62.89%) y monoparasitarias Toxocara canis (17.56%); por primera vez se encontró una asociación de triprarasitismo de Toxocara canis - Isospora canis - Toxascaris leonina (12.37%). En los machos hubo una mayor presentación de parasitosis (57.7%) que en las hembras (42.3%). Caninos de raza pura tuvieron mayor frecuencia de presentación de parasitosis (82.5%); La edad no presentó diferencias estadísticas en los tres estratos estudiados, dándose en el estrato de ≥ 8 y < 12 semanas representados por el 41.2% de casos. La parasitosis en caninos evaluados es del 100%, siendo Toxocara canis el más frecuente.
