Abstract:

Purpose: This study was carried out with the aim of investigating the presence of gastrointestinal helmint found in street dogs in the Pain Valley and districts and to reveal the zoonotic importance of these parasites. Methods: In our study, the output sample of the 279 street dogs within the boundaries of the districts of Diadin, Oriental, Eckirt, Hamur, Patnos, Taşlıçay and Tutak was collected and the output sample was macroscopically examined and microscopically examined with the methods of native and multiplication (Fülleborn swimming and Benidish collapse). Results: In 80 of the 279 examined output samples (28.7 percent), one or more types of helminth eggs were found. 31 of the output samples (%11.1) T. canis; 24 (%8.6) T. leonina; 17 (%6.1) Taenia spp.· 15 (5.4%) of Capillaria spp.10 (3.6%) of Alaria spp. 5 (1.8%) T. vulpis and 3 (1.1%) A. caninum were found positive in the direction of the egg. In this first study in Pain, it has been found that street dogs in Pain and their districts are infected with helminths that will significantly affect human health and that the necessary measures should be taken in terms of both human and dog health.
