This study aims to report the incidence of Calodium hepaticum among dogs and cats, pets or stray animals, captured by the Zoonosis Control Center (CCZ) in Lages, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Fecal samples from 108 pet dogs and eight pet cats, and from 357 stray dogs and 97 stray cats, captured by CCZ, were analyzed within the period from July 2010 to November 2012. Coproparasitological exams were performed by techniques of sedimentation, centrifuge-flotation, and simple flotation. Among 465 fecal samples from dogs and 105 from cats, the overall spurious infections for C. hepaticum eggs were 1.05%. For dogs, this positivity was 0.43% and for cats it was 3.81%. The two positive dogs were stray and out of the four cats, three were stray and one was a pet. Although the occurrence of C. hepaticum eggs was low, these data reveal the existence of infected rodents, especially in public places, since, out of the six infected animals, five (83.33%) were stray. These results are discussed and analyzed with an emphasis on the risk to public health.
本研究旨在报告巴西圣卡塔琳娜州拉热斯市人畜共患病控制中心（CCZ）捕获的犬猫（宠物或流浪动物）中肝毛细线虫的感染率。对2010年7月至2012年11月期间CCZ捕获的108只宠物犬、8只宠物猫、357只流浪犬和97只流浪猫的粪便样本进行了分析。通过沉淀法、离心浮选法和简单浮选法进行粪便寄生虫学检查。在465份犬粪便样本和105份猫粪便样本中，肝毛细线虫卵的总体假感染率为1.05%。犬的阳性率为0.43%，猫的阳性率为3.81%。两只呈阳性的犬是流浪犬，在四只呈阳性的猫中，三只流浪猫，一只宠物猫。尽管肝毛细线虫卵的检出率较低，但这些数据表明存在受感染的啮齿动物，尤其是在公共场所，因为在六只受感染的动物中，有五只（83.33%）是流浪动物。对这些结果进行了讨论和分析，重点关注对公众健康的风险。
