BACKGROUND
Humans can get infected through direct or indirect contact with infective stages of zoonotic parasites shed to the environment through dog faeces.
OBJECTIVES
This study was designed to investigate the presence of gastrointestinal parasites present in dog faeces shed on the street of Ibadan metropolis, one of the largest cities in Africa.
METHODS
Twenty-three locations were randomly selected using grid-sampling method. A total of 203 faecal samples collected from the streets of selected areas were processed for detection of helminth eggs and protozoan oocysts using flotation technique. Eggs/oocysts per gram of faeces was counted using modified McMaster technique.
RESULTS
The prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was 43.3% (88/203). Single and multiple infections were 69 (78.4%) and 19 (21.6%) respectively. The parasites detected were sp. 24.6% (50/88) sp. 14.2% (29/88), sp. 9.8% (20/88), sp. 2.5% (5/88) and sp, 3.9% (8/88). sp. (320 × 10 epg) and sp. (5 × 10 epg) had the highest and least intensity respectively. Streets within residential areas having markets had the highest number of positive samples. All the genera of parasites detected in this study have zoonotic potential.
CONCLUSION
The high prevalence of zoonotic parasites detected in dog faeces from Ibadan metropolis showed that infected stray dogs roam the streets and constitute potential risk to human health. This study suggests the need for enforcement of laws restraining roaming or straying dogs and proper veterinary care of dogs.

背景
人类可通过直接或间接接触经狗粪便排放到环境中的人畜共患寄生虫感染阶段而受到感染。
目的
本研究旨在调查非洲最大城市之一伊巴丹市街道上狗粪便中存在的胃肠道寄生虫。
方法
采用网格抽样法随机选取23个地点。从选定区域的街道收集的总共203份粪便样本，使用浮选技术处理以检测蠕虫卵和原生动物卵囊。使用改良的麦克马斯特技术计算每克粪便中的卵/卵囊数。
结果
胃肠道寄生虫的患病率为43.3%（88/203）。单一感染和多重感染分别为69例（78.4%）和19例（21.6%）。检测到的寄生虫有 种，占24.6%（50/88）； 种，占14.2%（29/88）； 种，占9.8%（20/88）； 种，占2.5%（5/88）； 种，占3.9%（8/88）。 种（320×10 epg）和 种（5×10 epg）的感染强度分别最高和最低。有市场的居民区街道阳性样本数量最多。本研究中检测到的所有寄生虫属都具有人畜共患潜力。
结论
在伊巴丹市狗粪便中检测到的人畜共患寄生虫患病率很高，表明受感染的流浪狗在街头游荡，对人类健康构成潜在风险。本研究表明需要执行限制狗游荡或流浪的法律，并对狗进行适当的兽医护理。
