The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for the occurrence of endoparasitosis in dogs and cats in Espírito Santo, Brazil. For the study, 345 dogs and 160 cats were examined. Faecal samples from the animals were collected, and owners were interviewed about their handling of their animals. For the diagnosis of the infections, the Willis-Molley, simple centrifugal flotation and formalin-ether sedimentation techniques were performed. The data found in the tests were tabulated and analysed with a chi-square test (p <0.05), and calculation of odds ratios (OR) with confidence intervals of 95% were then performed to determine the association between the variables and the outcome of stool examinations. The prevalence of parasites was 59% for dogs and 54% for cats. The genus Ancylostoma was the most prevalent (45%). Supplying filtered water, not feeding raw foods, standardisation of a defecation site and cleaning up the faeces reduced the chances of developing intestinal parasites. An increased frequency of deworming was also shown to be a protective factor; specifically animals which received anthelmintic more than once a year had a lower predisposition for intestinal parasites.
本研究的目的是确定巴西圣埃斯皮里图州犬猫体内寄生虫病的患病率及发病风险因素。在该研究中，对345只犬和160只猫进行了检查。采集了动物的粪便样本，并就动物主人对其宠物的饲养方式进行了访谈。为诊断感染情况，采用了威利斯 - 莫利法、简易离心漂浮法和福尔马林 - 乙醚沉淀法。将检测中获得的数据制成表格，并采用卡方检验（p <0.05）进行分析，随后计算比值比（OR）及其95%置信区间，以确定变量与粪便检查结果之间的关联。犬的寄生虫患病率为59%，猫为54%。钩口属是最常见的（45%）。提供过滤水、不喂食生食、规范排便地点以及清理粪便可降低感染肠道寄生虫的几率。驱虫频率增加也被证明是一个保护因素；具体而言，每年接受驱虫不止一次的动物感染肠道寄生虫的倾向较低。
