| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to identify the helminth species present in client-owned dogs in three selected cities of Nueva Ecija and determine the positivity rate of each gastrointestinal helminth identified. Facalysis and blood testing using commercial test kits were performed in ninety (90) client-owned dogs from cities of San Jose, Munoz and Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija. Standard fecal flotation techniques were done to demonstrate helminths. The general positivity rate for all gastrointestinal helminths and the positivity rate of each particular parasite were analyzed. Results showed that 52.22%(47/90) of examined dogs were positive with at least one helminth species. Four species of gastrointestinal helminth parasites were identified across three cities in Nueva Ecija with mean positivity rates of 40.00%(36/90) for Ancylostoma sp., 11.11%(10/90) for Dipylidium sp., 1.11%(1/90) for Trichuris and 10%(9/90) for Toxocara canis. Dirofilaria immitis antigen was also identified using commercial test kit with 13.33%(12/90)positivity rate. Ancylostoma sp. is consistently the most common species found in sampled dogs from all three cities in Nueva Ecija. | |
