| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to identify the helminths present in client-owned cats in three selection cities of Nueva Ecija and determine the positivity rate of each gastrointestinal helminth identified. Fecalysis and blood testing were performed in ninety (90) client-owned cats from cities of Munoz, San Jose and Cabanatuan. Standard fecal flotation technique and sedimentation were done to demonstrate different helminth parasites. The over-all positivity rate of helminth parasite and positivity rate of each species were analyzed. Results showed only two helminth species present in the three cities. Five out of 90 of the examined cats were found positive with gastrointestinal helminth species with an over-all positivity rate of 16.65%. Ancylostoma sp. was the most common helminth species with 9.99% positivity rate while Toxocara cati has 6.66% positivity rate. The results also showed a 0% positivity rate with Dirofilaria immitis among the three cities. | |
