Resumo
The objective of this study was to determine the
frequency of enteroparasites in dogs and to compare
different diagnostic techniques. Four hundred and thirty
four feacal samples from dogs in the municipality of Goiânia
(Goiás) were collected from august 2001 to march 2002, of
which 384 (88.5%) were from domiciliated dogs and 50
(11.5%) from homeless dogs. It was performed a comparative
study between centrifugal flotation with sugar saturated
solution (Sheather) and flotation with zinc sulfate (Faust)
techniques in 150 feacal samples from domiciliated dogs.
The technique using Sheather’s solution was significantly
superior to Faust’s method for the diagnosis of eggs, cysts
and oocysts of intestinal parasites. Based on those findings
the other samples were analyzed by the centrifugal flotation
with Sheather’s solution and modified Ziehl-Neelsen
techniques. From a total of 434 examined samples, 94
(21.65%) were positive for one or more enteroparasites, of
which 21 (42%) from homeless dogs and 73 (19%) from
domiciliated dogs. The most frequent parasites found in
homeless dogs were Ancylostoma (22%), Isospora spp (10%), Cryptosporidium parvum (6%) and Toxocara canis
(4%). Among domiciliated dogs it was found Ancylostoma
(9.9%), Isospora spp (2.6%), T. canis (2.34%), C. parvum
(2.08%), Giardia sp (1.6%), Sarcocystis sp (0.26%) and
Dipylidium caninum (0.26%). It was observed association
between T. canis and C. parvum (4%); Isospora spp and C.
parvum (4%), in homeless dogs and association between
Ancylostoma and T. canis (0.5%), Ancylostoma and Isospora
spp (0.8%), Ancylostoma and D. caninum (0.3%),
Ancylostoma, T. canis and Isospora spp (0.3%),
Ancylostoma and C. parvum (0.3%), T. canis and Isospora
spp (0.3%) in domiciliated dogs. When sex was taken into
consideration, it was found that 14.93% and 15.19% of
positive samples were from male and female dogs
respectively. In regards to age, 38.35% of parasitized dogs
had less than one year of age; 27.39% were between one
and three years of age and 34.24% were older than three
years.
