Abstract
Dogs are responsible for many zoonosis. This paper presents some zoonosis transmitted by fecal parasites. Twenty fecal pools were collected from four different sites (five pools per site) between June and August 2015. Soon after retrieval, samples were sent to the laboratory for parasite research by the modified Wisconsin sugar flotation method. 85% of the analyzed samples contained eggs of parasites. The most frequent were eggs of Ancylostoma sp (100% of samples), followed by Toxocara canis and Giardia sp (17.6) and Trichuris vulpis and taenids (5.9%). These results indicate the need for parasitic control of dogs in the region in order to reduce environmental contamination and the risk of zoonosis.
