TI  - Gastrointestinal Helminth Infections in Dogs Detected by Stool Examination in Isparta Province
AB  - This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth infections in dogs in Ispartaprovince according to feces examination. For this purpose, 139 owned dogs feces were examined macroscopic,then examined microscopically for helminth eggs with saturated saline flotation technique. At least onehelminth species was identified in 48 of the 139 dogs (34.5%) that were observed. The most common specieswere Toxocara canis (18.7%), followed by Ancylostoma spp. (6.5%) Uncinaria spp. (6.5%), Toxascaris leonina (5.75%),Taenia spp. (3.5%). In female dogs, 1.2 times more helminth infection was detected than in males. Although theinfection rate in dogs older than 1 year was 1.2 times lower than the infection rate in dogs between 0 and 1 year,there was no statistical difference (p> 0.05). As a consequence of this study, it has been thought that it isimportant to establish the existence of Echinococcus granulosus by using serological or molecular techniques todistinguish the Taenia spp. eggs. This situation is important in terms of one world, one medicine and one health,which is a new concept accepted in the world. As a result, the presence of zoonotic helminths in the dogs in theIsparta region poses a risk for human and animal health.
