Epidemiology intestinal helminth parasites Ancylostoma spp gastrointestinal helminths Uncinaria stenocephala Journal of Helminthology ,ISSUE NO:2008,PG NO:89-93 An epidemiological study of gastrointestinal helminths of dogs (Canis familiaris) in two veterinary clinics in Ibadan, Nigeria, was conducted between January 2001 and December 2002. Faecal samples collected from 959 dogs were processed by modified Kato–Katz technique and then examined for helminth eggs. The results of the study showed that 237 (24.7%) of the dogs examined were infected with different types of helminths. The prevalences for the various helminth eggs observed were: Toxocara canis 9.0%, Ancylostoma spp. 17.9%, Toxascaris leonina 0.6%, Trichuris vulpis 0.5%, Uncinaria stenocephala 0.4% and Dipylidium caninum 0.2%. The faecal egg intensities, determined as mean egg count/gram of faeces (^SEM), were: T. canis 462.0 ^ 100.5, Ancylostoma spp. 54.1 ^ 8.6, T. leonina 0.8 ^ 0.4, T. vulpis 0.1 ^ 0.0, U. stenocephala 1.0 ^ 0.7 and D. caninum 0.2 ^ 0.1. Host age was found to be a significant factor with respect to the prevalence and intensity of T. canis and Ancylostoma spp. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of intestinal helminth parasites between male (27.0%) and female (22.5%) dogs (P . 0.05). The prevalence of helminth parasites was significantly higher (P , 0.05) in the local breed (African shepherd) (41.2%) than in Alsatian dogs (16.2%) or in other exotic breeds (21.0%). Single parasite infections (85.7%) were more common than mixed infections (3.5%). 2023-05-13T17:50:56Z 2023-05-13T17:50:56Z 2008-03 Journal doi: 10.1017/S0022149X07875924 https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/123456789/5509 en application/pdf Journal of Helminthology |
