Abstract
During the study, dogs were diagnosed with the following helminthic diseases: toxocariasis, echinococcosis, uncinariosis, trichuriasis, capillariosis, dipilidiosis, which took the form of mono and mixed invasions.
 The aim of this study was to identify the intensity of helminth infestation of dogs of different ages and methods of keeping.
 Materials and methods. Experimental studies were conducted during 2018–2020 on the basis of the laboratory “Innovative technologies and safety and quality of livestock products” and “Veterinary Pharmacy” of the Department of Veterinary Examination, Microbiology, Zoohygiene and Safety and Quality of Livestock Products; epizootology and parasitology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Sumy National Agrarian University.
 In cities and villages, faecal samples were taken from dogs, taking into account the method of keeping (tethered or untethered) and their use (office, hunting, decorative, etc.), which were placed in airtight containers, labeled samples and sent to the laboratory for the research.
 The object of clinical and laboratory research were dogs aged one to seven years, admitted to veterinary clinics in the period from 2018 to 2020, with suspected helminthic diseases. Testing of dogs was performed by collecting medical history and clinical examination.
 Results. According to the results of the research, it was established that among helminthic diseases during 2018–2020 the following diseases were registered: toxocariasis, cestodes, uncinariosis of dogs. Among the blood-parasitic diseases for the period 2018–2020 were diagnosed with heartworm disease, babesiosis of dogs.
 Among ectoparathyroidism, the laboratory diagnosed demodectic mange, otodectosis, canine sarcoptosis, and carnivorous syphonepterosis. A total of 513 surveys were conducted in 2018, of which 80 were positive; for 2019–509, of which positive – 58; for 2020 – 488, of which 62 are positive.
 Conclusions. Intestinal helminthiasis has been found to account for the lowest proportion (11 %) of carnivorous parasitic diseases compared to blood parasitic diseases (19 %) and ectoparasitosis (70 %), but they are of great interest for study because of their significant epidemiological significance and may be the cause of disease in humans.
 It has been proven that helminthic diseases of dogs run as mixed invasion, and a minority of cases 31.7 % of cases run as mono invasion. Of the total number of patients with helminthic diseases, 73.4 % of the total number of animals were accompanied by other diseases of infectious and non-infectious ethology
Highlights
Literature data indicate that parasitic diseases of dogs are widespread both abroad and in Ukraine, both among service and hunting dogs kept in nurseries, and among ornamental, domestic animals [1, 2]
Among the blood-parasitic diseases were diagnosed with heartworm disease and babesiosis in dogs
It has been experimentally established that of all the studied settlements it showed that in most cases 68.3 % of helminthic diseases of dogs and cats run as mixed invasions, and a minority of cases 31.7 % of cases run as mono invasions [15, 16]
Summary
Literature data indicate that parasitic diseases of dogs are widespread both abroad and in Ukraine, both among service and hunting dogs kept in nurseries, and among ornamental, domestic animals [1, 2]. It should be noted that parasitic diseases of dogs caused by helminths as a pathology occupy a significant place among other diseases. Along with the threat to animal health, have social significance, because millions of domestic and stray animals, especially in large cities, being in close proximity to humans and being carriers of zoonoses [3], pose a threat to their health owners and other people. Dogs are closely related to humans, providing communication, security and a source of die tary protein. Dogs pose a risk (2021), «EUREKA: Health Sciences» Number 4 to public health, and a good understanding of canine diseases is important for planning and implementing control measures
