115 Abstract The present study detected the prevalence rate of hydatid cysts in different organs of 103 donkeys at Giza Zoo in Egypt during the period that extended from October, 2016 to September, 2017. The overall prevalence rate of hydatid cysts was 15.53%, with the majority of cysts (87.50%) found in the liver, followed by the mixed infection of lung and liver (12.50%). The majority of the cysts (56.89%) were fertile, and (40.72%) were sterile, while (2.40%) were calcified. Considering number of fertile cyst, (66) of mixed type lung and liver cysts were fertile compared to (29) of liver cysts. It was found that the prevalence rate of hydatid cysts was higher in female donkeys than in male and in old age donkeys with no cases in young to adult age ones.

In this study, a total of 50 stray dogs of different ages and sexes were captured from different areas of Ismailia City and examined for ectoparasites. The detected ectoparasites were six species of arthropods (one tick, three fleas, one louse, and one dipteran fly species). All the examined dogs were infested with at least one species of ectoparasites. The most prevalent ectoparasite was Ctenocephalides canis flea (100%), followed by Rhipicephalus sanguineus tick (60%), chewing lice (Heterodoxus spiniger) (46%), Ctenocephalides felis flea (44%), Hippobosca longipennis fly (16%) and Echidnophaga gallinacea flea which was detected in 4% of examined dogs. Mixed ectoparasitic infestation with two or more ectoparasites was higher (84%) than single infestation (16%), with the most common combination (fleas and ticks) reaching 28%. The prevalence of Heterodoxus spiniger was significantly higher (p<0.01) in young dogs than adult ones, while Hippobosca longipennis prevalence was significantly higher (p<0.05) in adult dogs than young ones. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in ectoparasite prevalence in relation to sexes. In conclusion, stray dogs in Ismailia City carry many ectoparasites that can be transmitted to companion dogs and act as vectors of many diseases affecting dogs and humans.

E-mail address: asmaa_ibrahim@vet.suez.edu. eg Abstract: In a study on the parasites of stray dogs in Ismailia City, 50 stray dogs of different sexes and ages were humanely euthanized, necropsied, and examined for helminth parasites. Twenty helminths (14 trematodes, two cestodes, and four nematodes) were detected. The total prevalence of helminths was 100%, with trematodes (36%), cestodes (100%), and nematodes (34%). Of the recorded 14 trematodes, Pygidiopsis summa and Ascocotyle rara were recorded for the first time in Ismailia Province and might be for the first time among Egyptian dogs. The most prevalent trematode was Pygidiopsis genata (20%). The detected cestodes were Dipylidium caninum (100%) and Taenia hydatigena (10%). The recovered nematodes were Toxocara canis (20%), Toxascaris leonina (10%), Spirocerca lupi (10%), and Rictularia affinis (8%). There was a highly significant difference (p<0.01) in the prevalence of trematodes between different ages (60% in adults and 0% in young dogs). The prevalence of Toxocara canis was significantly higher (p< 0.05) in young dogs (40%) than in adult ones (6.7%). There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the prevalence of the detected helminths with the sex of dogs. Histopathological examination of the lungs and oesophagus of dogs infected with Spirocerca lupi revealed chronic pneumonia, pulmonary alveolar emphysema, granulation tissue formation, and an early stage of fibroma in the oesophagus. All necropsied dogs were infected with at least one zoonotic helminth parasite. In conclusion, stray dogs in Ismailia City carry several helminth parasites, thus posing a risk for both human and companion dog populations.
