Despite the existence of therapeutic and prophylactic measures, gastrointestinal parasites are common in pets. Due to the zoonotic potential of some species, parasitic protozoa and helminths are of great importance to public health. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of the main gastrointestinal parasites in domestic dog puppies in the city of Araçatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. One hundred fecal samples were collected from dogs up to six months of age. Parasites were diagnosed using Willis', Faust's and malachite green coproparasitological techniques. Parasite prevalence as determined by Willis and/or Faust diagnostic techniques was as follows: spp. 34%, spp. 28%, Ancylostomatidae 22% and spp. 8%. These prevalence rates were calculated by considering an animal to be positive if Willis' or Faust's or both tests returned a positive result. diagnosis with malachite green was negative for all samples. Infection with spp., the most prevalent pathogen in this survey, was not limited to dogs with abnormal fecal consistency. The occurrence of asymptomatic parasitized dogs increases the risk of zoonotic transmission.
尽管存在治疗和预防措施，但胃肠道寄生虫在宠物中很常见。由于某些物种具有人畜共患病的可能性，寄生原生动物和蠕虫对公共卫生非常重要。在本研究中，我们调查了巴西圣保罗州阿拉萨图巴市家犬幼犬中主要胃肠道寄生虫的发生情况。从6个月龄以下的犬只中采集了100份粪便样本。使用威利斯氏法、浮士德氏法和孔雀石绿粪便寄生虫学技术诊断寄生虫。通过威利斯氏法和/或浮士德氏诊断技术确定的寄生虫感染率如下： 属34%， 属28%，钩口科22%， 属8%。如果威利斯氏法或浮士德氏法或两者的检测结果为阳性，则将动物视为阳性来计算这些感染率。所有样本的孔雀石绿诊断均为阴性。本次调查中最常见的病原体 属感染并不局限于粪便性状异常的犬只。无症状感染寄生虫的犬只的存在增加了人畜共患病传播的风险。
