is a parasite of the large intestine of canids and has a global distribution. Despite its well-established epidemiology, the question of its pathogenicity in dogs remains debated. It has been suggested that younger age and concurrent infection with may be responsible for more severe clinical presentations. This retrospective study aimed to describe the clinical and diagnostic features of -infected dogs and to compare these findings with dogs infected with both and other intestinal parasites (poly-infected dogs). Forty-five dogs were included, with twenty-five being solely infected by and twenty poly-infected dogs. Only weight loss was more frequent ( = 0.006) in poly-infected dogs compared to mono-infected dogs. No significant differences were observed in laboratory abnormalities between mono-infected and poly-infected dogs. Only diarrhea was more frequent ( = 0.007) in younger dogs compared to adults. The egg shedding pattern was significantly higher ( = 0.04) among adult dogs compared to young ones, and there was a significant positive correlation between egg shedding and age (r = 0.41; = 0.005). These findings suggest that might be responsible for both clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities in dogs, irrespective of the host's age and the presence of other intestinal parasites.
是犬科动物大肠的一种寄生虫，在全球范围内均有分布。尽管其流行病学情况已为人熟知，但关于其在犬类中的致病性问题仍存在争议。有人认为年龄较小以及同时感染 可能是导致更严重临床表现的原因。这项回顾性研究旨在描述感染 的犬类的临床和诊断特征，并将这些结果与同时感染 和其他肠道寄生虫的犬类（多重感染犬）进行比较。共纳入45只犬，其中25只为仅感染 的犬，20只为多重感染犬。与仅感染 的犬相比，多重感染犬中只有体重减轻更为常见（ = 0.006）。在仅感染 和多重感染的犬之间，未观察到实验室异常有显著差异。与成年犬相比，幼犬中只有腹泻更为常见（ = 0.007）。成年犬的虫卵排出模式显著高于幼犬（ = 0.04），并且虫卵排出与年龄之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.41； = 0.005）。这些发现表明，无论宿主年龄和其他肠道寄生虫的存在情况如何， 都可能是犬类临床症状和实验室异常的原因。
