The faecal egg intensities, determined as mean eggspergram offaeces (^SEM) were:T.canis393.8 ^ 83.4, Ancylostoma sp. 101.5 ^ 32.8, T. leonina 14.3 ^ 7.9, T. vulpis 3.4 ^ 1.5, D. caninum 2.2 ^ 0.8, U. stenocephala 0.2 ^ 0.2. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was significantly higher (P , 0.05) in dogs of age 0–6 months than in older age groups. There was no significance difference in overall prevalence of intestinal helminth parasites between male (58.3%) and female (50.0%) dogs (P . 0.05). The prevalence of helminth parasites was significantly higher (P , 0.05) in free-ranging than in kennelled dogs. The prevalence of helminth parasites was also significantly higher (P , 0.05) in African shepherds than in Alsatians and other exotic breeds. Each helminth parasite had similar prevalences and intensities among both genders(P . 0.05)exceptinT.vulpis.Theoverallprevalenceofintestinalparasites maycontinuetoriseduetolackoffunctional veterinaryclinicsfordogcareinIleIfe.
