Abstract

Background and Objective: Dogs are associated with more than 60 types of common diseases with humans, among which parasitic diseases play an important role in public health. This study aimed to estimate the frequency of gastrointestinal Helminths fauna among Dogs in Gorgan, Iran. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was done on 70 Dogs (37 male and 33 female) consisting of 40 shelter Dogs, 18 pet Dogs and 14 guard Dogs in Gorgan (Iran) from November 2019 to January 2020. Age, gender and housing places of the Dogs were recorded, and Dogs' fecal samples were examined for gastrointestinal Helminths by flotation method with Sheather's solution. Results: The eggs of gastrointestinal Helminths were detected in 41 Dogs (58. 6%), including Toxocara canis (29. 3%), Echino-taenia (26. 8%), hookworms (24. 4%), Trichuris vulpis (7. 3%) and Toxascaris leonina (12. 2%). The highest and lowest rates of infection were related to Toxocara canis (31. 8%) in female Dogs Trichuris vulpis (5. 3%) in male Dogs, respectively. Also, in female Dogs, 69. 7% of the samples were infected with at least one gastrointestinal parasite, and there was a significant relationship between parasitic disease and female gender (P<0. 05). Also, the highest infection rate was observed in shelter Dogs (61%). Conclusion: The frequency of gastrointestinal Helminths among Dogs in Gorgan is high, particularly among female Dogs.
