The prevalence of helminths in adult dogs was investigated in Hunan Province, the People's Republic of China between June 2006 and December 2007. A total of 438 adult farm dogs slaughtered in local abattoirs from 9 representative administrative regions in Hunan Province were examined for the presence of helminths using a helminthological approach. All collected worms were counted and identified to species according to existing keys and descriptions. A total of 11 helminth species were found in the dogs, and they represented 2 phyla, 3 classes, 6 families and 8 genera. All dogs were infected by more than one helminth species. Clonorchis sinensis (29.4%) was the only trematode species found, Dipylidium caninum (42.3%) was the most common cestode species, and Toxocara canis (45.2%) the most common nematode species. 6 of the 11 dog helminths are also transmissible to humans (i.e., zoonotic), and can cause severe clinical human diseases, posing significant public health threats. The results of the present investigation have implications for the ongoing control of helminth infections in dogs and humans in Hunan Province, China.
2006年6月至2007年12月期间，在中国湖南省对成年犬体内蠕虫的流行情况进行了调查。采用蠕虫学方法，对来自湖南省9个代表性行政区当地屠宰场宰杀的438只成年农场犬进行了蠕虫检查。对所有收集到的蠕虫进行计数，并根据现有检索表和描述鉴定到种。在犬体内共发现11种蠕虫，分属于2个门、3个纲、6个科和8个属。所有犬均感染了不止一种蠕虫。华支睾吸虫（29.4%）是唯一发现的吸虫种类，犬复孔绦虫（42.3%）是最常见的绦虫种类，犬弓首蛔虫（45.2%）是最常见的线虫种类。11种犬蠕虫中有6种也可传播给人类（即人畜共患），并可导致严重的人类临床疾病，对公共卫生构成重大威胁。本调查结果对中国湖南省目前犬类和人类蠕虫感染的防控具有重要意义。
