Dogs are the most popular pets worldwide. Close contact between dogs and people increases the risk of transmission of various zoonotic parasitic infections. Given the importance of veterinary medicine in preserving the One Health concept, the aim of this research was to identify intestinal parasites that may have zoonotic potential and to evaluate risk factors (individual and environmental). The research was conducted in Serbia in 2022 and 2023 on 382 owned dogs, using qualitative methods of coprological examination with a concentration on parasitic elements. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasites was 62.6%, with the following detected: protozoa: spp. (9.2%), spp. (4.5%), / spp. (3.7%), (11.8%); nematoda: (11.5%), (4.2%), family Ancylostomatidae (38.0%), (21.5%), spp. (10.5%); trematoda: (1.6%) and cestodes from the Taeniidae family (1.3%). Factors like age, size and coat length, as well as the way of living, attitude and diet were linked to a significantly higher ( < 0.05) prevalence of intestinal parasites. Based on the results of coprological diagnostics, this research indicates the importance of educating dog owners, conducting routine parasitological tests on their pets and regular deworming strategies.
狗是全球最受欢迎的宠物。狗与人的密切接触增加了各种人畜共患寄生虫感染传播的风险。鉴于兽医学在维护“同一健康”概念中的重要性，本研究的目的是确定可能具有人畜共患潜力的肠道寄生虫，并评估风险因素（个体和环境因素）。该研究于2022年和2023年在塞尔维亚对382只家养犬进行，采用粪便学检查的定性方法，重点关注寄生虫成分。肠道寄生虫的总体患病率为62.6%，检测到的寄生虫如下：原生动物： spp.（9.2%）、 spp.（4.5%）、/ spp.（3.7%）、（11.8%）；线虫：（11.5%）、（4.2%）、钩口科（38.0%）、（21.5%）、 spp.（10.5%）；吸虫：（1.6%）和带科绦虫（1.3%）。年龄、体型、被毛长度以及生活方式、态度和饮食等因素与肠道寄生虫的患病率显著较高（<0.05）有关。基于粪便学诊断结果，本研究表明对狗主人进行教育、对其宠物进行常规寄生虫学检测以及定期驱虫策略的重要性。
