摘要：

The aim of the present study was to monitor the circulation of parasitic infections and the general parasitological situation in the environment of a shelter for dogs and cats during routine operation. The study was performed during a 3-month period in a shelter with capacity of 30 animals. We regularly examined the haircoat of sheltered animals for the occurrence of fleas. At the same time samples of dog faeces were collected for parasitological examination. The animals were treated with selamectin (Stronghold) for protection against parasites. The preparation reduced the flea population and it also proved highly effective against ascarids in dogs and cats. We detected an infection with other parasites (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia sp., Trichuris vulpis, Giardia lamblia) and treated the positive animals accordingly with 5 mg kg(-1) of praziquantel and 50 mg kg(-1) of fenbendazole during three days (Caniquantel Plus). The study indicated that protection against parasites in shelters for animals needs more complex measures than in households with individually kept dogs and cats.
