| description | This study carried on fifty seven feral cats in Babylon province urban and rural locations. The cats euthanized and examined for gastrointestinal helminthes
(GI). The results revealed that all examined cats were infected by one or more GI helminthes, which were including Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma tubaeforme, Pterygodermatites cahirensis, Dipylidium caninum, Dipylidium nölleri, Taenia taeniaeformis and Joyeuxiella pasqualei. The highest prevalence nematode occurred in urban habitant cats was Toxocara cati (43.75%) and the lowest was Pterygodermatites cahirensis (12.5%). However, in rural habitant cat, the highest prevalence rate of nematode was Physaloptera praeputialis and Toxocara cati (24%) followed by Ancylostoma tubaeforme (16%) and Pterygodermatites cahirensis (4 %). Among cestodes helminthes, the most prevalence species in urban habitant cat was Taenia taeniaeformis (31.25%) followed by Diplopylidium nölleri (25%), Dipylidium caninum (21.88%) and Joyeuxiella pasqualei (12.5 %.). In rural habitant cats, the most prevalent cestode was Diplopylidium nölleri (52%), followed by Diplopylidium caninum (36%), Taenia taeniaeformis (32%) and Joyeuxiella pasqualei (20%). |
