Abstract：
Zoonotic parasitic diseases in dogs are particularly concerning in regions with low human development indices due to inadequate sanitary services and insufficient environmental and health education. This study aimed to assess the parasitological status of dogs living in households and evaluate their owners\' knowledge about zoonoses. A total of 183 dogs from Rolim de Moura, Rondônia State, were screened for the presence of ectoparasites, and 163 fecal samples were collected for analysis. The results showed that 74.23% (112/163) of the animals had at least one species of endoparasite. The most identified pathogens were Ancylostoma spp. (68.71%, 112/163), Trichuris vulpis (11.66%, 19/163), Toxocara canis (6.75%, 11/163), Cystoisospora canis (4.91%, 8/163), Dipylidium caninum (1.23%, 2/163), and Hammondia/Neospora (0.61%, 1/163). Ectoparasites were observed in 43.17% (79/183) of the evaluated animals, with Rhipicephalus sanguineus found in 31.15% (57/183) and Ctenocephalides felis felis in 20.77% (38/183). Only 11.48% (7/61) of the owners were familiar with the term \"Zoonoses.\" However, a significant majority (83.61%, 51/61) believed that dogs can transmit diseases to humans. Our findings highlight the prevalence of parasites in the studied area and associated risk factors, underscoring the urgent need for educational interventions to raise awareness about these diseases and their risks to human health.
摘要：
由于卫生服务不足以及环境和健康教育不足，在人类发展指数较低的地区，狗的人畜共患寄生虫病尤其令人担忧。这项研究旨在评估生活在家庭中的狗的寄生虫学状况，并评估其主人对人畜共患病的知识。共有183只来自RolimdeMoura的狗，朗多尼亚州，筛查了体外寄生虫的存在，并收集163份粪便样本进行分析。结果表明，74.23%(112/163)的动物体内寄生虫至少有一种。鉴定最多的病原体是Ancylostomaspp。（68.71%，112/163)，毛虫(11.66%,19/163），犬弓形虫（6.75％，11/163），犬囊孢子虫(4.91%,8/163），犬联啶（1.23%，2/163），和Hammondia/新孢子虫（0.61%，1/163）。在43.17％（79/183）的评估动物中观察到外寄生虫，在31.15％（57/183）中发现了血根虫，在20.77％（38/183）中发现了Ctenocephalidesfelis。只有11.48％（7/61）的所有者熟悉“人畜共患病”一词。\"然而,显著多数(83.61%，51/61）认为狗可以将疾病传播给人类。我们的发现强调了寄生虫在研究区域的患病率和相关的危险因素，强调迫切需要教育干预措施，以提高对这些疾病及其对人类健康的风险的认识。
