The present study conducts a survey on cestode and Protozoan of dogs in Harbin, Urumqi, Qinhuangdao, Ji'nan, Tai'an, Zhengzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Haikou in China using brine flotation and centifugal sedimentation methods.A total of 358 faecal samples of household dogs (165 males and 193 females) were examined by faecal flotation for the presence of helminth eggs.Faecal samples (simple random sampling) were taken by local veterinary clinics between April 2011 and October 2012 in the framework of routine clinical procedures from 358 dogs (165 males and 193 females).Positive results with the presence of at least one parasite corresponded to 5.59 % Diplogonoporus grandis , 6.15 % Echinococcus, 8.38 % Taenia canine, 6.98 % Isospora canine, 2.23 % Cryptosporidium and 7.82% Balantidium coli.There was no significant difference in overall prevalence between genders and sexes, except for Balantidium coli, which was more common in male dogs than female dogs (P < 0.05).Shanghai showes significant difference in Echinococcus compared with other cities (P < 0.05).In the meanwhile, statistically significant differences were observed among different regional groups in Balantidium coli in Shanghai, Tai'an and Guangzhou (P < 0.05).The data were analyzed using the statistical software package SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).Identification of a risk factor required at a 95% confidence level (P < 0.05) , as well as a biologically plausible association between the factor and seroreactivity to Parasites.The results of this survey indicate that the control and treatment of Parasites have been effective in some cities of China.However, further implementation of integrated strategies is necessary to prevent and control Parasites in dogs.
