Prevalence of Zoonotic Gastrointestinal Helminths Among Pet Dogs in Western Chitwan, Nepal

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Gastrointestinal helminth parasites (GIHPs) in dogs, belonging to the phyla Platyhelminthes and Nemathelminths, pose a zoonotic threat by contaminating human environments with cysts, oocysts, and eggs. Investigating GIHPs in domesticated dogs in close contact with humans is crucial to understanding zoonotic transmission.
