Dogs and cats are popular pets that play integral roles in human societies worldwide. Unfortunately, they can carry potential zoonotic helminths that can be transmitted to humans. However, data on the gastrointestinal helminths affecting dogs and cats in Bogor, Indonesia, are currently lacking. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in pets from this area using a retrospective analysis.
A retrospective study was conducted at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of IPB University, Bogor. Cat and dog patients from January 2014 to April 2019 were tested for helminth infections and the results as well as their age, sex, and breed data were analyzed using the Chi-square test.
Among the dogs and cats examined for internal parasites, 61.11% (33/51) of the dogs and 53.80% (92/171) of the cats were infected by helminths. Among the dogs, hookworm (37.04%) and Toxocara spp. (24.07%) were detected, while in the cats, hookworm (11.11%), Toxocara spp. (38.01%), and Dipylidium caninum (4.68%) were detected. The prevalence of hookworm and D. caninum was higher in older pets, while Toxocara spp. infected younger cats and dogs (<1 year) more frequently. The prevalence of Toxocara spp. in the Indonesian local dog breed was higher when than other breeds. Sex did not significantly affect the prevalence of parasites in dogs or cats.
The discovery of zoonotic helminth parasites in the cat and dog pets from Bogor raises concerns for the inhabitants. Initiatives will be required to inform pet owners about prevention strategies for these parasitic diseases.
狗和猫是广受欢迎的宠物，在全球人类社会中发挥着不可或缺的作用。不幸的是，它们可能携带可传播给人类的潜在人畜共患蠕虫。然而，目前缺乏关于印度尼西亚茂物影响狗和猫的胃肠道蠕虫的数据。本研究旨在通过回顾性分析调查该地区宠物胃肠道蠕虫寄生虫的发生情况。
在茂物IPB大学兽医教学医院进行了一项回顾性研究。对2014年1月至2019年4月的猫和狗患者进行蠕虫感染检测，并使用卡方检验分析结果以及它们的年龄、性别和品种数据。
在接受体内寄生虫检查的狗和猫中，61.11%（33/51）的狗和53.80%（92/171）的猫感染了蠕虫。在狗中，检测到钩虫（37.04%）和弓首蛔虫属（24.07%），而在猫中，检测到钩虫（11.11%）、弓首蛔虫属（38.01%）和犬复孔绦虫（4.68%）。钩虫和犬复孔绦虫在老年宠物中的患病率较高，而弓首蛔虫属更频繁地感染年龄较小（<1岁）的猫和狗。印度尼西亚本地犬种中弓首蛔虫属的患病率高于其他犬种。性别对狗或猫体内寄生虫的患病率没有显著影响。
在茂物的猫和狗宠物中发现人畜共患蠕虫寄生虫引起了居民的关注。需要采取措施告知宠物主人这些寄生虫病的预防策略。
