spp. and are zoonotic food- and water-borne protozoa of veterinary importance. They are one of the main causes of diarrhea in domestic dogs (). Wild canids, such as red foxes () and raccoon dogs (), can act as natural reservoirs for these parasites. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of these pathogens and analyze possible factors that may affect the infection in wild and domestic canids. A total of 373 domestic dog, 219 red fox, and 78 raccoon dog fecal samples were collected and tested for spp. and presence with direct immunofluorescent staining. The dog owners filled a questionnaire on the dog's habits and lifestyle to identify and analyze potential factors that may affect the occurrence of these parasites in dogs. spp. were found in 16.3%, 28.3%, and 28.2% and in 0.7%, 27.4%, and 30.8% of the examined dogs, red foxes, and raccoon dogs, respectively. The highest prevalence was observed in puppies-15.4% and 18.5% for spp. and , respectively. In all three canid species, infection with increases the risk of co-infection with and vice versa.
[具体寄生虫名称1]属和[具体寄生虫名称2]是具有兽医重要性的人畜共患食源性和水源性原生动物。它们是家犬腹泻的主要原因之一（[此处可能有相关参考文献或注释缺失]）。野生犬科动物，如赤狐（[赤狐学名]）和貉（[貉学名]），可作为这些寄生虫的天然宿主。本研究的目的是估计这些病原体的流行率，并分析可能影响野生和家养犬科动物感染的因素。共收集了373份家犬、219份赤狐和78份貉的粪便样本，采用直接免疫荧光染色法检测[具体寄生虫名称1]属和[具体寄生虫名称2]的存在情况。犬主填写了一份关于犬的习性和生活方式的问卷，以识别和分析可能影响犬体内这些寄生虫发生的潜在因素。在所检查的犬、赤狐和貉中，分别有16.3%、28.3%和28.2%检测到[具体寄生虫名称1]属，0.7%、27.4%和30.8%检测到[具体寄生虫名称2]。幼犬中的流行率最高——[具体寄生虫名称1]属和[具体寄生虫名称2]分别为15.4%和18.5%。在所有三种犬科动物中，感染[具体寄生虫名称1]会增加感染[具体寄生虫名称2]的风险，反之亦然。
