“…For instance, eggs of Trichuris sp. were detected in 1.7% (2/113) of the samples analyzed, these data are similar to others previously reported (STALLIVIERE et al, 2009;TESSEROLLI et al, 2005). On the other hand, ovigerous capsule of D. caninum were detected only in 1% (1/113) of the positive samples, thus indicating a low parasite burden in cats and consequently low transmission between these animals.…”

Gastrointestinal helminths are considered to be the most common parasites affecting cats worldwide. Correct diagnosis of these parasites in animals living in urban areas is pivotal, especially considering the zoonotic potential of some species (e.g. Ancylostoma sp. and Toxocara sp.). In this study, a copromicroscopic survey was conducted using fecal samples (n = 173) from domestic cats living in the northeastern region of Brazil. Samples were examined through the FLOTAC technique and the overall results showed positivity of 65.31% (113/173) among the samples analyzed. Coinfections were observed in 46.01% (52/113) of the positive samples. The most common parasites detected were Ancylostoma sp., Toxocara cati, Strongyloides stercoralis, Trichuris sp., Dipylidium caninum and Cystoisospora sp. From an epidemiological point of view, these findings are important, especially considering that zoonotic parasites (e.g. Ancylostoma sp. and Toxocara sp.) were the nematodes most frequently diagnosed in this study. Therefore, the human population living in close contact with cats is at risk of infection caused by the zoonotic helminths of these animals. In addition, for the first time the FLOTAC has been used to diagnosing gastrointestinal parasites of cats in Brazil.Keywords: Copromicroscopic diagnosis, helminth, protozoa, felines, zoonosis, FLOTAC. ResumoHelmintos gastrointestinais são considerados os mais frequentes parasitos que afetam gatos em todo o mundo. O correto diagnóstico desses parasitos, em animais que vivem em áreas urbanas, é crucial, especialmente quando considerado o potencial zoonótico de algumas espécies (ex. Ancylostoma sp. e Toxocara sp.). Neste estudo, uma pesquisa coproparasitológica foi realizada, utilizando-se amostras de fezes (n = 173) de gatos domésticos da região Nordeste do Brasil. As amostras foram examinadas através da técnica FLOTAC, e os resultados gerais mostraram uma positividade de 65,31% (113/173). Co-infecções foram observadas em 46,01% (52/113) das amostras positivas. Os parasitas mais comuns aqui detectados foram Ancylostoma sp., Toxocara cati, Strongyloides stercoralis, Trichuris sp., Dipylidium caninum e Cystoisospora sp. De um ponto de vista epidemiológico, esses resultados são importantes, especialmente considerando que os parasitos zoonóticos (ex. Ancylostoma sp. e Toxocara sp.) foram os mais frequentes nematódeos diagnosticados neste estudo. Portanto, a população humana, em estreito convívio com esses animais, apresenta risco de infecção por helmintos de caráter zoonótico. Além disso, pela primeira vez, a técnica de FLOTAC tem sido utilizada no diagnóstico de parasitos gastrointestinais em gatos no Brasil.

“…T. cati is often reported to be the most prevalent nematode in cats around the world, as observed in surveys conducted in the USA (NOLAN & SMITH, 1995) (ZANZANI et al, 2014) and China (YANG & LIANG, 2015). Also, in Brazil, T. cati was found to be the most prevalent helminth in cats in Rio Grande do Sul (LORENZINI et al, 2007;PIVOTO et al, 2013), Paraná (TESSEROLLI et al, 2005), Santa Catarina (STALLIVIERE et al, 2009) and the metropolitan region of São Paulo (GENNARI et al, 2001;RAGOZO et al, 2002;FUNADA et al, 2007).…”

The frequency of gastrointestinal infections in 502 cats seen at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of São Paulo, SP, Brazil, between 2005 and 2014, was measured. The samples were analyzed using methods of flotation and sedimentation. The results were compared with those from studies published previously using fecal samples from the same hospital at different times. Associations between the frequency of positivity for each parasite and age, breed, sex, diarrhea and use of anthelmintic were investigated (chi-square or Fisher's exact tests). A partitioned chi-square test was used to compare different periods. Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp., Cystoisospora spp. and Sarcocystis spp. were the most common parasites, followed by Toxocara cati and Ancylostoma spp. Cryptosporidium spp. presented higher frequency in young cats and Sarcocystis spp. with the presence of diarrhea (p < 0.05). Results from this study with previous periods showed that the frequencies of Cryptosporidium spp., Cystoisospora spp. and T. cati were lower (p < 0.05) than those observed in previous periods. The frequencies of Giardia spp. and Ancylostoma spp. were similar to the results found in the preceding period and lower than the values found for the other periods (p < 0.05). The reasons for these changes should be investigated.

RESUMO.Com o objetivo de determinar a frequência de endoparasitos em cães e gatos, foi realizado um levantamento dos resultados de exames coproparasitológicos, executados na rotina de um Laboratório Veterinário em São Luís -Maranhão, no período de julho de 2012 a julho de 2015. Nesse período foram realizados 780 exames, sendo 92% de cães e 8% de gatos. Deste total, 23% das amostras foram positivas para pelo menos um parasito. Ancylostoma sp. foi o gênero mais frequente em ambas as espécies com 48% dos cães e 63% dos gatos parasitados. Quanto à infecção, 80% dos cães e 86% dos gatos apresentaram infecção única, enquanto que 20% dos cães e 14% dos gatos apresentaram infecção múltipla. Esses resultados revelam uma incidência expressiva, o que representa elevados riscos não só aos animais como também na saúde humana e tal fato reforça a necessidade de implementar medidas efetivas no sentido de reduzir a carga parasitária dos animais e minimizar os riscos de infecção humana. Palavras-chave: Levantamento epidemiológico, prevalência, caninos, felinos Endoparasites in digs and cats diagnosed in São Luís -MaranhãoABSTRACT. In order to determine the frequency of endoparasites in dogs and cats, a survey was conducted of the results of parasitological tests, performed in the routine of a Veterinary Laboratory in São Luís -MA, from July 2012 to July 2015. In this period they were conducted 780 tests, 92% of dogs and cats 8%. Of this total, 23% of the samples were positive for at least one parasite. Ancylostoma sp. it was the most common genre in both species with 48% of dogs and 63% of infected cats. Regarding infection, 80% of dogs and 86% of cats showed only infected, while 20% of dogs and 14% of cats showed multiple infections. These results reveal a significant impact, which is a high risk not only to animals but also on human health and this fact reinforces the need to implement effective measures to reduce the parasite load of animals and minimize the risk of human infection.
