RESUMO
This work was carried out between the months of May to June 2015, were collected stool sample of 25 dogs domiciled in different districts of Bom Jesus city with the objective of establish the frequency of gastrointestinal helminths with zoonotic potential. It is known that importance of estimating infections with gastrointestinal nematodes in the canine population because being a given a lot of relevance to veterinary clinicians who can use this information to guide owners on educational measures to reduce the risks of exposure to intestinal parasites, potentially causing zoonoses. From 25 stool samples processed by the Willis's method, 68% were positive for gastrointestinal helminths and centrifugal flotation technique in zinc sulfate there was obtained positivity percentage of 60%. This work draws attention to the high index of domestic dogs infected with gastrointestinal helminths.
