Abstract
Aim:
This study was undertaken to derive the prevalence rate of
ancylostomosis in dogs by a collection of fecal samples from
Anand district.
Materials and Methods:
The fecal samples were collected from the dogs brought to the
Hospital of Veterinary College (Teaching Veterinary Clinical
Service Complex) and the surrounding areas of Anand district. On
the day of collection, fecal samples were collected and brought
to the Department of Veterinary Parasitology and processed for
standard qualitative examination. The sedimentation technique
was used to detect the presence of
Ancylostoma
spp.
eggs in the samples.
Result:
The highest prevalence rate was observed in the month of May
(36.66% fecal samples) and the lowest in the month of December
(13.79% fecal samples) at Anand district.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded that heavy infection is present in Anand
district especially in the season of summer followed by monsoon
and the least in winter.
Keywords:
ancylostomosis, dog, fecal, prevalence rate, sedimentation
technique.
