Carnivores’, monkeys’ and humans’ Strongyloidosis is caused by nematodes Strongyloides stercoralis. Helminths are localized in the small (rarely ― thick) part of the intestine. Invasion in carnivores and humans is more common in regions with warm and humid climates, but recently, cases of its registration in countries with moderate and even cold climates are observed. The feature of strongylatosis infestation is the presence of 2 helminth’s generations ― parasitic and free-living, herewith species of free-living generations remain and develop in the external environment, including premises, but parasitic species infect animals by oral or percutaneous ways, as well as cause auto-infestation. Clinically strongyloidosis is manifested in young animals, as well as in animals in immunodeficiency states. Nematodes injure the intestinal mucosa, causing inflammation, swelling, and erosion. As a result, the of nutrients absorption’s and assimilation’s process is disrupted. Signs of catarrhal enteritis are clinically observed― diarrhea (often with blood), anorexia, slowing growth and development. During the migration of larvae through the lungs, bronchopneumonia is observed, including the addition of secondary bacterial infections; with percutaneous infection ― itching and dermatitis. For the diagnosis of the infestation is preferable to use helmintological methods (Berman’s method). Against Strongyloides the efficiency of benzimidazoles, avermectins and milbemycin is noticed. The authors describe cases of detection of nematodes Strongyloides stercoralis in cats and dogs in Moscow region. For deworming of animals was used a combination of 2 anthelmintic with a synergistic effect against adult stages and larvae of strongyloidiasis: ivermectin and fenbendazole.
