The findings of an investigation mounted to evaluate and compare the prevalence of parasitic gastro-intestinal helminth ova in three different breeds of dogs in Calabar, Nigeria are presented. Results of the investigation indicate that in Alsatians, 25% infestation with Strongyloides stercoralis, 25% Toxocara canis, 65% Ancylostoma caninum were found, in crossbreed between Alsatian and Mongrel, 15.56% infestation with Strongyloides stercoralis, 10.93% Toxascaris leonina, 25% Toxocara canis, 68.75% Ancylostoma caninum, 1.66% Dipylidium caninum were recorded while 15.88% infestation with Strongyloides stercoralis, 7.64% Toxocara leonina, 25.86% Toxocara canis, 77.64% Ancylostoma caninum, 2.25% Dipylidium caninum, 0.58% Trichuris vulpis, 1.17% Echinococcus granulosus, 0.58% Taenia ovis, 1.17% Taenia hydatigena and 21% coccidia oocyst were observed in Mongrel dogs. Possible factors responsible for this variation in degree of infestation are suggested and strategic prophylactic anthelmintic medication during early wet season or late dry season is recommended.
本文介绍了一项在尼日利亚卡拉巴尔开展的调查结果，该调查旨在评估和比较三种不同品种犬类中寄生性胃肠蠕虫虫卵的流行情况。调查结果显示，在阿尔萨斯犬中，粪类圆线虫感染率为25%，犬弓首蛔虫感染率为25%，犬钩虫感染率为65%；在阿尔萨斯犬与杂种犬的杂交品种中，粪类圆线虫感染率为15.56%，狮弓蛔虫感染率为10.93%，犬弓首蛔虫感染率为25%，犬钩虫感染率为68.75%，犬复孔绦虫感染率为1.66%；而在杂种犬中，粪类圆线虫感染率为15.88%，狮弓蛔虫感染率为7.64%，犬弓首蛔虫感染率为25.86%，犬钩虫感染率为77.64%，犬复孔绦虫感染率为2.25%，狐毛首线虫感染率为0.58%，细粒棘球绦虫感染率为1.17%，绵羊带绦虫感染率为0.58%，泡状带绦虫感染率为1.17%，球虫虫卵感染率为21%。文中提出了造成这种感染程度差异的可能因素，并建议在雨季初期或旱季末期进行战略性预防性驱虫药物治疗。
