Abstract
Toxocara cati are widespread in cats and are the causative agent of zoonosis. Prevention of the spread of infective Toxocara eggs in the environment is a priority and includes timely treatment of toxocariasis in cats. The aim of study. To study the effectiveness of the use of the pyrantel embonate in domestic and homeless kittens with confirmed intestinal toxocariasis and with a negative result from the study of feces. Materials and methods. In the experimental groups took 44 kittens under the age of 10 months. A coproscopic examination was performed by flotation method with a solution of sodium nitrate (density 1.34 g/cm3) with the inclusion of a centrifugation step. Kittens of all groups were treated with an anthelmintic containing a pyrantel embonate. Repeated coprovoscopy was performed on the 10th and 30th day after deworming. Results. The pyrantel embonate showed 100% effectiveness in groups of domestic and homeless kittens infected T. cati. Conclusion. We recommend to carry out the deworming in young homeless kittens up to a year and with a negative result from the study of feces. This will prevent the spread of pathogen eggs in the environment and the accumulation of larvae in animal tissues.
