Note on the Prevalence of Intestinal Worms in Dogs in Cambridge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
In the course of investigations conducted in Cambridge upon dogs infected with Piroplasma canis, a number of animals have been incidentally examined for intestinal parasites. In an unbroken series of 24 dogs, which died (March—September 1907) from piroplasmosis, the animals were autopsied immediately after death and the intestine examined by slitting it open along its whole length. We briefly record the results of these examinations, for the reason that similar reports do not appear to have hitherto been published in this country. All of the dogs harboured worms. Only three species of worms were encountered: Ascaris mystax, Dipylidium caninum and Taenia serrata.
