Dogs, cats, parasites, and humans in Brazil: opening the black box
2014
Overview
Dogs and cats in Brazil serve as primary hosts for a considerable number of parasites, which may affect their health and wellbeing. These may include endoparasites (e.g., protozoa, cestodes, trematodes, and nematodes) and ectoparasites (i.e., fleas, lice, mites, and ticks). While some dog and cat parasites are highly host-specific (e.g.,
Aelurostrongylus abstrusus
and
Felicola subrostratus
for cats, and
Angiostrongylus vasorum
and
Trichodectes canis
for dogs), others may easily switch to other hosts, including humans. In fact, several dog and cat parasites (e.g.,
Toxoplasma gondii
,
Dipylidium caninum
,
Ancylostoma caninum
,
Strongyloides stercoralis
, and
Toxocara canis
) are important not only from a veterinary perspective but also from a medical standpoint. In addition, some of them (e.g.,
Lynxacarus radovskyi
on cats and
Rangelia vitalii
in dogs) are little known to most veterinary practitioners working in Brazil. This article is a compendium on dog and cat parasites in Brazil and a call for a One Health approach towards a better management of some of these parasites, which may potentially affect humans. Practical aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitic diseases of dogs and cats in Brazil are discussed.
