Abstract
One hundred stray dogs in Bangkok were autopsied to examine their parasitic helminths in 1960-1961. All parts of viscera were carefully examined by the naked eye for detecting the large sized helminth, or under the dissecting microscope for the small helminths. All of 100 dogs were infected with from 1 to 9 species of helminths. The highest infection rate was 94% with Ancylostoma spp., which was followed by 33% Dirofil-aria immitis, 32% Dipylidium caninum. 30% Toxocara canis. and 27% Spirocerca sanguinolenta Trichuris vulpis Haplorchis taichui, and Gnathostoma spinigerum rates were 22%, 13%, and 10%. Others with lower rates were, Diphyllobothrium mansoni, Echinochasmus iaponicus Haplorchis yokogawai, Heterophyes heterophyes, Taenia taeniaeformis,Physaloptera canis, Pseudoheterophyes continua, and Strongyloides stercoralis. The latter three species were found from only one dog case each.Keywords
