Abstract
Anthelmintics remain a fundamental component of both treatment of parasitic disease and preventative health for pets. The focus of intestinal helminth control to reduce disease and zoonotic risk in the UK has been routine treatment rather than testing. As a result, testing is often viewed as unnecessary if routine preventative treatment is occurring. Diagnosing intestinal roundworms in cases of gastrointestinal disease is important because heavy burdens can contribute to the severity of clinical signs and intestinal pathology. However, routine testing alongside prevention for worm infections in cats and dogs is also vital to demonstrate the effectiveness of treatment plans, gather data on parasite distributions and detect anthelmintic resistance.
