Abstract

Dogs have an important role in public health due to their close contact with humans and living in common areas. This study was aimed to investigate the presence and prevalence of gastrointestinal system helminths in stray dogs in Erzurum province. Gastrointestinal helminth eggs were detected in a total of 190 out of 446 (42.6%) in stray dogs in Erzurum province. In the study, taeniid eggs (17.71%, 79/446), T. canis (16.82%, 75/446), T. leonina (12.78%, 57/446), Linguatula spp. (4.48%, 20/446), spiny-headed worms (2.91%, 13/446), hookworms (2.69%, 12/446), Alaria spp. (1.12%, 5/446) and Trichuris spp. (0.22%, 1/446) eggs were observed. In addition, proglottid structures of Mesocestoides spp. (3.14%), Taenia spp. (2.69%), and D. caninum (1.12%), adults of Alaria spp. (0.22%), T. canis (0.22%), and T. leonina (0.22%) were detected. According to the results of the study, zoonotic parasites including taeniid cestodes, T. canis, Linguatula spp., spiny-headed worm, hookworm, Alaria spp., and Trichuris spp. were common in stray dogs in the province. Public health risks can be reduced by regular deworming of dogs, proper management of the process, prevention of environmental contamination with dog feces, and proper enforcement of sanitation protocols.

埃尔祖鲁姆省流浪狗的胃肠道寄生虫:流行情况和对公共卫生的风险

狗在公共卫生中扮演着重要的角色，因为它们与人类有密切的接触，并且生活在公共区域。本研究旨在调查埃尔祖鲁姆省流浪狗胃肠道系统寄生虫的存在和流行情况。在埃尔祖鲁姆省446只流浪狗中，有190只(42.6%)检测到胃肠道蠕虫卵。共发现带绦虫虫卵(17.71%，79/446)、犬弓形虫虫卵(16.82%，75/446)、狮子弓形虫虫卵(12.78%，57/446)、舌虫虫卵(4.48%，20/446)、棘头虫虫卵(2.91%，13/446)、钩虫虫卵(2.69%，12/446)、木耳虫虫卵(1.12%，5/446)和滴虫虫卵(0.22%，1/446)。此外，还检出中齿绦虫(3.14%)、带绦虫(2.69%)、犬金蝇(1.12%)、阿拉尔氏蝇(0.22%)、犬金蝇(0.22%)、狮子金蝇(0.22%)成虫的原舌结构。调查结果显示，我省流浪狗中常见的人畜共患寄生虫有绦虫、犬弓形虫、舌虫、棘头虫、钩虫、阿拉利亚虫和毛缕虫。通过定期为狗驱虫、对驱虫过程进行适当管理、防止狗粪便污染环境以及适当执行卫生规程，可以减少公共卫生风险。
