“…These findings are similar to those found by other investigators (Felz et al 1996). In a similar research in Afghanistan 31 of 105 dogs were infested with 5 species of ticks that R. turnanicus and R. sanguineus were the most common species (Le Riche et al 1988). R. turnanicus was not observed on dogs in the present study.…”

“…However, Fukase et al reported that C. canis was more common than C. felis in Kanagawa, Japan (Fukase et al 1987). Similar to our results, Le Riche et al and Chukwu reported that C. canis was the most common flea in Afghanistan, and Nigeria (Chukwu 1985;Le Riche et al 1988). C. canis and C. felis have been reported on various host species from different parts of Iran (Anvar et al 1972).…”

“…This might be due to the fact that females kept were confined to avoid unwanted breeding and hormonal changes during reproduction period. Hippobosca were found on 5 of 102 dogs infested with ectoparasites in the present study (4.9 %) but it was more prevalent (23.8 %) in Kabul, Afghanistan (Le Riche et al 1988). The prevalence of ectoparasites infestation was higher among 1-3 years old dogs (38.4 %) in present study but in Afghanistan it was stated that dogs less than 1 year old are more susceptible to ectoparasite infestations owing to their constant exposure to carrier mothers (Chee et al 2008).…”

The present study aimed to investigate the intensity and distribution of natural infestation of ectoparasites in owned dogs during June to November 2011 in Kerman city, southeast of Iran. One hundred two domestic dogs (63 males, 39 females) with age ranged between 45 days to 13 years were examined for ectoparasites infestation including (tick, lice, flea and mite) in Kerman city. Detailed questionnaire about grooming and bathing interval, keeping place (outdoor, indoor) and purpose of keeping were obtained from owners. After complete skin examination, animals hairs were combed and their skin rubbed with a piece of cotton soaked in alcohol to remove the ectoparasites in apparently normal cases, and deep skin scratching were prepared from all type of lesions in symptomatic dogs. A total number of 149 ectoparasites were collected. The most common ectoparasite was Rhipicephalus sanguineus tick, which infested 27 of the 102 dogs (26.47 %). Ctenocephalides canis was identified on two dogs (1.96 %) and 5 dogs infested with Hippobosca spp (4.9 %) that the highest infestation rate was seen in September (14.2 %). Studied samples were routinely checked for clinical symptoms. Itching and scratching lesions were the only reported signs which seen in flea infested dogs (6.4 %) and other infested dogs (93.5 %) had no clinical symptoms. Ectoparasites were significantly higher in outdoor dogs in compare with indoor group and the most tick infested location was ear (61.3 %) (P \ 0.05).

“…For Afghanistan, no transmission data are available; however, CE was described in a US Marine after deployment to Afghanistan (Kronmann et al, 2008) and an immigrant from Afghanistan in the US (Carter et al, 2009) showing that is actively transmitted. Moreover, 77/150 dogs from Kabul (73%) were positive for E. granulosus, with one dog infected with 152,700 worms (Le Riche et al, 1988). In Pakistan, transmission in the sheep-dog assemblage is important and the lack of abattoirs in rural communities and home slaughter of livestock is common, especially on religious occasions.…”

465Parasitología Introducción a dipilidiasis es una zoonosis parasitaria producida por Dipylidium caninum, gusano aplanado en sentido dorsoventral, de la familia Dilepidiidae, orden Cyclophyllidea, Subclase Eucestoda. Es un cestodo común en cánidos y félidos domésticos y silvestres, quienes son sus hospederos definitivos.El hombre lo adquiere accidentalmente al ingerir a los hospederos intermediarios infectados, la pulga del perro (Ctenocephalides canis), la pulga del gato (Ctenocephalides felis) y ocasionalmente por la pulga del hombre (Pulex irritans) o el piojo del perro (Trichodectes canis)La infección en el hombre se denomina dipilidiosis, la mayoría de los casos se presentan en lactantes y preescolares, lo que sugiere una mayor exposición a los hospederos intermedios, por el estrecho contacto con las mascotas, que pueden lamer la cara del niño, sus juguetes y utensilios de alimentación. En adultos, en cambio, es poco frecuente 2,3 . Presentamos el caso clínico de un preescolar con dipilidiosis y su posterior discusión. Caso ClínicoPreescolar de 2 años 8 meses de edad, sexo masculino, sano, sin antecedentes mórbidos de importancia, con controles ocasionales con el pediatra en el último Infección por Dipylidium caninum en un preescolar.Presentación del caso y revisión de la literatura Patricia Neira O., Leonor Jofré M. y Nelson Muñoz S.Dipylidium caninum infection in a 2 year old infant: case report and literature review Dipylidiasis is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the dog tapeworm Dipylidium caninum; it affects both feline and canine species and accidentally, humans. In Chile, as well as in other countries, it is an uncommon infection. A case of a 2 year old child from Casablanca, (a city located in the Valparaíso Region), with an infection by D. caninum, is presented. Clinical manifestations are reviewed, as well as epidemiology in domestic and wild animals, cases among the published national literature and its treatment and prevention strategies.
