Title

The Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasites in Native Dogs in Palestine

Pages

  435-442

Abstract

 Background: Dogs play an important role in transmission of parasites and zoonotic diseases, especially in developing countries. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of internal parasites in stray and Pet dogs in Palestine. Methods: Fecal samples were collected during the period between Jan to May 2019. A total of 150 fecal samples were collected and tested for parasites using sedimentation and flotation techniques. The targeted dogs were both Pet dogs and Stray dogs and were grouped according to gender and age. Results: Although there was no significant difference in infestation between males and females, the prevalence rate of infestation in males was 63. 1% compared to females 72. 4%. Dogs of ages under one year had similar rate of infestation compared to older dogs with a rate of 67. 3% and 67. 4% respectively. Infestations were significantly higher (P<0. 05) in Stray dogs 81. 4% compared to Pet dogs 48. 4%. The highest infestation rate was with Toxocara canis 46. 0% followed by Dipylidium caninum 23. 0%, Echinococcus spp. 14. 0%, Isosopora canis 9. 0%, Ancylostoma caninum 8. 0%, Giarda spp. 5. 0%, Strongyloides spp. 4. 0%, Trichuris vulpis 3. 0%, and Cryptosporidium spp. 3. 0%. Conclusion: Local dogs in Palestine, especially Stray dogs, are infested with different types of intestinal parasites that may cause many common and noncommon diseases to humans. To prevent the spread of these parasites, future public health should be proposed and applied by authorities to achieve a healthy status of the residents in the country. Health awareness spread among people about the seriousness of the diseases transmitted by dogs must also be activated.
