“…These finding are similar to those reported by Fisher (2003) However, some studies have reported Ancylostoma to be more prevalent than Toxocara in dog excrement samples, including Kopp et al (2007), who analyzed animal between three and six months of age; Lorenzini et al (2007) who studied animals one year of age; and Prates et al (2009), Ramirez-Barrios et al (2004, and Swai et al (2010), who analyzed dogs in different age ranges. Dogs of all ages can be infected by A. caninum because they do not develop effective immunity against this helminth (BLAZIUS et al, 2005;BOAG et al, 2003).…”

This study evaluated the efficacy of pyrantel pamoate and ivermectin on gastrointestinal nematodes in dogs. Fecal egg counts per gram (EPG) were measured by the fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) in order to evaluate the anthelmintic efficiency and fecal float exams were also performed to assess the concordance between coproparasitological techniques. A total of 45 naturally infected dogs in the city of Bandeirantes, Paraná State, were selected and divided into three groups: Group 1, 15 animals that received pyrantel pamoate (145 mg) in a single dose; Group 2, 15 animals that received ivermectin (3 mg); and Group 3, 15 animals that comprised an untreated control group. Fecal testing was performed two and 10 days after treatment. Toxocara was the most prevalent genus, followed by Ancylostoma and Trichuris. Ancylostoma had low resistance to ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate treatment, while Toxocara were resistant to both treatments. Statistical correlation testing to compare coproparasitogical techniques revealed moderate concordance, substantial and almost perfect concordance for detection of Ancylostoma, Trichuris, and Toxocara, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the gender Ancylostoma had low resistance and Toxocara is resistant to both drugs and because of their high prevalence in young animals means that others anthelmintic drugs may be recommended to combat infections. Additionally, the Gordon and Whitlock modified and Willis-Mollay techniques are effective for detection particularly of Toxocara in dogs.

Para tanto foram realizados a contagem de ovos nas fezes (OPG) para avaliação da eficiência anti-helmíntica através do Teste de Redução da Contagem de Ovos nas Fezes (RCOF) e exame de flutuação Willis-Mollay para verificação de concordância entre as técnicas coproparasitológicas. Selecionou-se 45 cães na cidade de Bandeirantes, Paraná, naturalmente infectados, os quais foram divididos em três grupos experimentais: Grupo 1, 15 animais que receberam pamoato de pirantel 145 mg; Grupo 2, 15 animais que receberam ivermectina 3 mg e Grupo 3, 15 animais do grupo controle, não tratados. Coletas de fezes foram realizadas dois e dez dias depois para realização dos exames coproparasitológicos. Observou-se que o gênero de maior prevalência foi Toxocara, seguido de Ancylostoma e Trichuris. Ancylostoma apresentou baixa resistência ao tratamento

Ferreira et al, (2009) em Aracaju SE analisou amostras de 150 cães, 50 de cães domiciliados, 50 de cães de um abrigo e 50 de cães errantes apreendidos do Centro de Zoonoses de Aracaju, sendo Ancylostoma sp.…”

“…Uma revisão sistemática constatou que a prevalência de cistos de Giardia em cães no Brasil variou de 0,8% a 45%. Em diversas regiões do Brasil, esta prevalência esteve entre 8,4% a 11,1%, com base em exames microscópicos [11,15,31,46]. Os dados obtidos nos arquivos do LEPA, refletem uma prevalência semelhante de Giardia sp.…”

Background: Giardia, an intestinal parasite of asexual reproduction, is an important etiologic agent of diarrhea in animals and humans, transmitted by orofecal route. The disease caused by this agent, giardiasis, is endemic in the world and representing an important public health problem. The aim of the present study was do a retrospective study to determine the prevalence of Giardia sp. in fecal samples from dogs, cats, sheep and goats (small ruminants) evaluated at FMVZ Unesp, Botucatu, SP. In addition, this study presents a review of the literature on the prevalence of this protozoan in dogs, cats and small ruminants in different states of Brazil, according to the environmental of these animals. Materials, Methods & Results:During 2011 to 2017, 2,698 fecal samples of dogs, 359 fecal samples of cats and 320 fecal samples of goats and sheep were analyzed. A total of 18.9% of the dogs, 24.8% of the cats, and 6.6% of the goats and sheep were positive for Giardia sp. Only previous studies that used the zinc sulphate centrifugal flotation (Faust technique) were included for comparation of prevalence. The prevalence of Giardia sp. in samples of centrifugation-fluctuation in zinc sulfate was similar in dogs, higher in cats and lower for small ruminants when compared to previous investigations. 4.4% and 6.7% of the positive samples from dogs and cats, respectively, were associated with some co-infection. Co-infections by Cystoisospora spp., Ancylostoma spp. and/ or Toxocara spp. were the most common for dogs and cats. Discussion: This study reveals the presence of Giardia sp. in different animal species in an endemic area. The results are similar to the prevalence previous reported in dogs, and higher in cats using the same diagnostic technique (Faust technique). Co-infections by Cystoisospora spp., Ancylostoma spp. and/ or Toxocara spp. were the most common for dogs and cats, as well-known in previous studies. Investigations with household, shelter and stray dogs found a significantly lower occurrence of Giardia sp. in the group of household dogs. However, for cats these comparisons should made with caution. Despite having a owner, some of these cats have free access to the streets, so they might be more expose to the sources of infection. There are few previous reports of the presence of Giardia sp. in goats and sheep, which presented much higher prevalence when compared with this study. This variation in prevalance of Giardia sp. in small ruminants can occur due to differences inherent to each region in Brazil, as well as the presence of risck factors regarding animal age, type of raising of the animals, hygienic-sanitary and management conditions, and the presence of domestic animals inside sheep and goat installations, which can potentially favor the mechanical transmission of cysts or reservoirs of this parasite. Therefore, due to regional variations in this parasite prevalence, this information is more value in regional areas, reaffirming the importance of this kind of studies in brazilian states and cities.
