As a part of a wider study that examined endoparasites of carnivores in northwest Italy, 270 canine fecal samples were analyzed with flotation techniques. Overall prevalence was 7.4 % for Capillaria spp. and 12.2 % for Trichuris vulpis. This article stresses the importance of an accurate morphological and morphometrical analysis to distinguish eggs of T. vulpis from eggs of the genus Capillaria.

Abstract
As a part of a wider study that examined endoparasites of carnivores in northwest Italy, 270 canine fecal samples were analyzed with flotation techniques. Overall prevalence was 7.4 % for Capillaria spp. and 12.2 % for Trichuris vulpis. This article stresses the importance of an accurate morphological and morphometrical analysis to distinguish eggs of T. vulpis from eggs of the genus Capillaria. We also suggest that different Capillaria spp. are present in the Italian dog population.File in questo prodotto:
