This study was performed in order to determine the prevalence of helminth infections among dogs and to emphasize the importance of this concept for public health. All selected dogs were from the city of Van and a total of 115 fecal samples were examined. Of these, 61 were from stray dogs, 26 were breeders and the final 28 dogs were dogs belonging to institutions. All samples were examined in the laboratory of the parasitology laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yuzuncu Yil University. Fulleborn's flotation method was used. Sixty nine (60.0%) of the dogs were found to be infected by one or more helminth species. Two Cestoda species and 4 Nematoda species were detected. Toxascaris leonina (23.5%), Taenia spp. (14.8%), Ancylostoma caninum (8.7%), Dipylidium caninum (3.5%), Uncinaria stenocephala (0.9%) and Toxocara canis (13.9%) were responsible for infections. Although the rates of infection between stray (59.0%) and official dogs (46.4%) was not significant, the rate was statistically significant according to Duncan's t-test ( < 0.05) in breeder dogs as compared to the previous 2 groups. The results show that helminth infection in dogs in Van is very high. The high prevalence of T. canis, Taenia spp., and A. caninum in dogs in Van is considered to be critical from the view point of public health importance. In conclusion, helminth infection of dogs is still a very serious problem for public health in Van.
进行这项研究是为了确定犬类中蠕虫感染的流行情况，并强调这一概念对公共卫生的重要性。所有选定的犬只均来自凡城，共检查了115份粪便样本。其中，61份来自流浪狗，26份来自饲养者，最后28只狗属于机构。所有样本均在于祖尔恰伊勒大学兽医学院寄生虫学实验室进行检测。采用了富勒伯恩漂浮法。发现69只（60.0%）犬只感染了一种或多种蠕虫种类。检测到两种绦虫和四种线虫。狮弓蛔虫（23.5%）、绦虫属（14.8%）、犬钩口线虫（8.7%）、犬复孔绦虫（3.5%）、窄头钩虫（0.9%）和犬弓首蛔虫（13.9%）导致了感染。虽然流浪狗（59.0%）和官方犬只（46.4%）的感染率差异不显著，但与前两组相比，饲养者犬只的感染率根据邓肯t检验具有统计学意义（<0.05）。结果表明，凡城犬类中的蠕虫感染率非常高。从公共卫生重要性的角度来看，凡城犬类中犬弓首蛔虫、绦虫属和犬钩口线虫的高流行率被认为至关重要。总之，犬类蠕虫感染对凡城的公共卫生仍然是一个非常严重的问题。
