Abstract
In a small town and its adjacent villages of the Hessian Neckar Valley, Federal Republic of Germany, 155 of the officially registered domestic dogs were examined for intestinal helminths. Twenty percent of the animals proved to be infected. The highest prevalence of 5.8% could be attributed to infections with Toxocara canis. These values are well below the average rates for dogs in the larger German cities.
