| Abstract | ||||
| Out of 685 dog faecal deposits collected from the road sides and public places from Ismailia city,500 (73%) harboured parasite ova, oocysts and/or cysts. From the 500 infested samples; 49%, 34.4%, 14% and 2.6% showed one type, two types, three types and four types of parasite ova, oocysts or cysts respectively. The helminth infestation rates were; 32.1% of Toxascaris leonina, 25.5% of Toxocara canis: 17,5% of Dipylidium caninum, 10.2% of Taenia sp., 0.15% of spirometra sp < /em>.; 8.5% Heterophyes heterophyes and 1.3% Hookworm. The percentages of protozoan infestations were; 12.8 of Isospora spp., 2.3 of sarcocystis sp.; 3.8 of Cryptospordium sp < /em>. and 8.3 of Giardia sp.
