Abstract. Canine strongyloidiasis is an intestinal helminthiasis with uncertain anthropozoon status. It is commonly accepted that canine strongyloidiasis is characteristic of tropical and subtropical climatic zones and is not found in Europe.
The article investigated the distribution of strongyloidiasis among chihuahua breed dogs of a private kennel in Kiev.
The studies conducted over the years 2017–2018. A total of 34 chihuahua breed dogs examined: 21 dogs were in a private kennel, 13 dogs were purchased by different owners. Eight dogs also examined, which were kept together with the individuals purchased from the kennel.
The faeces was collected directly from the rectum in adult dogs and napkin or floor in puppies. Studies of all dogs conducted 6 times: three times - with an interval of 7 days and three times - with the same interval month after. For laboratory diagnostics, the native smear method and the modified Berman method (author's modification) with the use of a centrifuge were used.
According to the study, the incidence of invasion in private kennel conditions in dogs is 42.8 %: in adult dogs - 14.2 % and in dogs up to one year - 28.5 %. Among dogs sold, aged from 6 months to 3 years, the incidence of invasion is 46.1 %. The incidence of invasion among dogs kept together with invased animals is 100 %.
In dogs under 1 year of age the highest extensity and intensity of invasion is noted: EI is 52.6 % of the total number of tested dogs, the intensity of invasion is 246 ± 16.1. The severes clinical signs are observed in dogs up to 10 months of age. They are characterized by recurrent diarrhea, mucus in faeces, dermatitis on the abdomen and limbs, growth retardation, weight loss, and bronchopneumonia.
The results of our study prove the possibility of the formation of foci of strongyloidiasis in the temperate climate of Ukraine due to the spread of invased dogs.
