Several free-roaming dogs can be easily found in the public areas of Bali. They go out in search of foods and friends and defecate everywhere. In general, these groups of dogs do not receive good healthcare from their owners and are generally threatened by some disease-causing organisms, especially helminths. This study was conducted to identify and measure the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) that cause infection in free-roaming dogs in Bali Province, Indonesia.
A total of 1611 fresh dog fecal samples were collected from all areas of Bali Province and subjected to qualitative fecal examination using flotation techniques to obtain STH eggs.
The incidence of STHs in free-roaming dogs was 38.36%. However, three types of STHs were identified, including spp., spp., and spp. spp. had the highest prevalence of 37.8%, followed by spp. and spp. at 6.02% and 0.87%, respectively. Multiple infections of these worms were also recorded. The polyparasitism prevalence of spp. and spp. was 3.85%, followed by that of spp. and spp. at 0.5% and that of spp. and spp. at 0.06%. There were no altitude-wise differences in the prevalence of STH infection.
The prevalence of STHs was high in free-roaming dogs. This finding necessitates more serious attention as it affects both animal and public health.
在巴厘岛的公共场所很容易发现几只流浪狗。它们外出寻找食物和伙伴,随地排便。总体而言,这些流浪狗没有从主人那里得到良好的医疗护理,并且普遍受到一些致病生物的威胁,尤其是蠕虫。本研究旨在识别和测量在印度尼西亚巴厘省导致流浪狗感染的土壤传播蠕虫(STH)的流行率。
从巴厘省所有地区共收集了1611份新鲜狗粪便样本,并采用浮选技术进行定性粪便检查以获取STH虫卵。
流浪狗中STH的发生率为38.36%。然而,鉴定出了三种类型的STH,包括 属、 属和 属。 属的流行率最高,为37.8%,其次是 属和 属,分别为6.02%和0.87%。还记录到了这些蠕虫的多重感染。 属和 属的混合感染率为3.85%,其次是 属和 属的混合感染率为0.5%, 属和 属的混合感染率为0.06%。STH感染的流行率在海拔方面没有差异。
流浪狗中STH的流行率很高。这一发现需要更严肃的关注,因为它影响动物和公众健康。
