| Sumario: | Dogs can harbor a wide range of intestinal parasites, among which are helminths and
protozoa that are potentially pathogenic for both them and humans due to their zoonotic nature,
such as Toxocara canis, Dipylidium caninum and Taenia multiceps, the population being children
are most at risk of contracting these infections. The purpose of this study was to identify and
determine the frequency of gastrointestinal parasites in canines diagnosed in the Linalab and
Vetelab clinical laboratories during the first semester of 2020 in the municipality of Popayán -
Cauca. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was designed. The feces of 384 canines
were collected and analyzed in the aforementioned laboratories during the first semester of 2020.
The results of the investigation were analyzed with the statistical package SPSS v. 21, through
descriptive statistics and inference, the latter to compare age, sex and breed with the presence of
gastrointestinal parasites in the sampled dogs, being considered significant when p <0.05 using
the chi-square test. Approximately 80% (n = 304) of the canines had enteroparasites, the most
frequent being intestinal coccidia with 15.9% (n = 61), followed by ancylostoma with 11.7% (n =
45) and Giardia intestinalis with 10.7% (n = 41). The frequency of polyparasitism was 5.5%. It is
concluded that there is a high frequency of gastrointestinal parasites in the analyzed samples, at
least 12 species were identified, three of them with a frequency greater than 12% that constitute
great importance from the One Health approach, in order to promote awareness about these
diseases in the pet-owning public and the importance of regular parasite control programs for
their pets and their home environment. |
