Pages

  280-287

Abstract

 BACKGROUND: Health and welfare of Dogs can be adversely affected by Ectoparasite infestations and these infestations pose severe risks to human health due to close contact between Dog and human. OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out to detemine the Frequency of Ectoparasite infestation in referred Dogs to veterinary hospital of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. METHODS: From April 2017 to April 2018, a total of 460 Dogs were examined for Ectoparasites. Age, gender, season, breed, keeping place, hair length, hair colour, pruritus, alopecia and distribution of parasites on different parts of the body of each examined Dog were recorded in a questionnaire. RESULTS: Out of 460 Dogs examined, 99 (21. 52%) were found to be infested with Ectoparasites. Forty-eight (10. 43%) Dogs were infested with Ctenocephalides canis and Pulex irritans. Rhipicephalus turanicus, Sarcoptes scabiei, Hippobosca longipennis and Rhipicephalus sanguineus were found on 14 (3. 04%), 10 (2. 17%), 10 (2. 17%) and 9 (1. 95%) Dogs, respectively. Infestation with Wohlfahrtia magnifica, Demodex canis, Otodectes cynotis, Haemaphysalis erinacei and Linognathus setosus were observed in 9 (1. 95%), 3 (0. 65%), 2 (0. 43%), 1 (0. 21%) and 1 (0. 21%) examined Dogs, respectively. There was a statistically significant association between Ectoparasite infestation and sex, keeping place and pruritus (P<0. 05). No statistical relationship was found between Ectoparasite infestation and age, hair colour, hair length, season and alopecia (P>0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study conducted on Dog Ectoparasite infestation in Mashhad district, Northeast Iran. Fleas were the most common Ectoparasites and although Ectoparasite infestation rate was relatively low, high species diversity was observed. Some of these Ectoparasites have zoonotic importance.
