Methods: This study was conducted on 360 dogs in and around Tabriz to find the rate and type of human flea contamination in these dogs, which were divided into three categories: pets, guards, and stray dogs. After fleas were identified in the dogs’ skin, they were taken with glue and fixed on the slide with glue. When the number of fleas was large, the captured fleas were transported to a test tube and treated with 70% alcohol. Dehydration of fleas was performed with ascending percentages of ethanol from 50 to 100% absolute and was kept inside each alcohol percentage for 10 to 20 minutes. Results: Regarding the dogs studied in this research, the rate of actual contamination in guard dogs was 76.67% (92 dogs were contaminated with flea feces). However, 74 dogs (about 15%) were infested with different fleas. Unfortunately, the rate of contamination in stray dogs was 100%. The rate of real contamination based on the separation of fleas and flea excrement from the body of this group of dogs was equal. The rate of flea infestation in pet dogs was 14 out of 100 dogs, representing 14% contamination. Conclusion: It should be acknowledged that, unfortunately, flea infestation is expected in the region’s dogs, depending on the type of dogs kept. Infestation with these insidious skin parasites with varying rates and symptoms is common, which, in addition to the economic damage of spending time and money on medicine for disease in animals, causes environmental pollution, increases the likelihood of disease transmission by these parasites, and increases the possibility of human infection and disease transmission from them to humans, as well as environmental pollution.","PeriodicalId":470697,"journal":{"name":"International journal of medical parasitology and epidemiology sciences","volume":"62 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140729563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to domestic animals, Sarcocystis infects many wild animals, birds, coldblooded animals, and humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate and estimate the initial status of Sarcocystis infection in minced beef in Tabriz. Methods: For digestion test and diagnosis of Sarcocystis contamination from butchers in Tabriz, 300 samples and 100 grams of minced meat samples were prepared and transferred in plastic bags and separately to the parasitology laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Islamic Azad University of Tabriz, Iran. After preparing the digestive solution according to the standard method, an experiment was performed for each sample. Results: In this study, out of the total number of 300 collected samples, 189 samples were infected with the Sarcocystis parasite (63%). Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the prevalence of Sarcocystis infection is high and this issue, in addition to inflicting economic losses due to livestock losses and seizure of infected carcasses or organs, as well as reducing livestock production, indicates the existence of health risks for residents. Due to the life cycle and epidemiology of this parasite, the need for further studies and control and health measures is important.","PeriodicalId":470697,"journal":{"name":"International journal of medical parasitology and epidemiology sciences","volume":"352 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134952554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
