【 摘 要 】

Faeces of 240 stry dogs and 240 family dogs that frequent the same public area in Tirana City they gathered and analyzed during the two years. We used the coproscopic? method to identify intestinal parasites of which could be infested. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the environment biopollution at public areas from exogenous stage of intestinal parsites by stray dogs using two indicators: a) the prevalence of infestation and b) number of species of which are infested dogs. It showed that the prevalence of infestation of stray dogs was 77.5% and 20% of family dogs. Regardless of the season or in which environment were collected samples, in both two groups of dogs were identified the same representatives of intestinal parsites, and specifically identified:Echinococcus granulosus ,Dipylidium caninum ,Taenia spp, Mesocestoides lineatus, Ancylostoma spp, Uncinaria spp , Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Trichuris spp, Giardia spp and Coccidia spp.The high prevalence of infestation at the stry dogs is a result of their lifestyle. To ensure the food they attend household waste, territory around the slaughterhouses, etc. In these areas they take food both with the invasive stages of intestinal helminths (3,8,18). At the same time they fed with wreck and alive rodent, with different arthropods and annelids worms, who as we know serve as paratenic hosts for many of the representatives of invasive helminthes of dogs (3,6,7,16,19, 21). Moving in search of food they come into contact with other public environments contaminated by their counterparts. Thus homogenized and increased parasite loads that they carry with which contaminate even more moving and living environments where. Family dogs infested by intestinal fauna when representatives will hike in public environments that are contaminated by stray dogs.Between the infestation prevalence of stray dogs and the infestation prevalence of family dogs from intestinal parasitic fauna has a positive correlation ( r = 0.736 for p = 0.0275), therefore can ignore the level of? family dogs infestation from invasive intestinal fauna is an expression of the impact of polluted environment from stray dogs on the health conditions of family dogs.
