Faecal samples collected from 959 dogs were processed by modified Kato\u2013Katz technique and then examined for helminth eggs. The results of the study showed that 237 (24.7%) of the dogs examined were infected with different types of helminths. The prevalences for the various helminth eggs observed were:<jats:italic>Toxocara canis<\/jats:italic>9.0%,<jats:italic>Ancylostoma<\/jats:italic>spp. 17.9%,<jats:italic>Toxascaris leonina<\/jats:italic>0.6%,<jats:italic>Trichuris vulpis<\/jats:italic>0.5%,<jats:italic>Uncinaria stenocephala<\/jats:italic>0.4% and<jats:italic>Dipylidium caninum<\/jats:italic>0.2%. The faecal egg intensities, determined as mean egg count\/gram of faeces (\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0SEM), were:<jats:italic>T. canis<\/jats:italic>462.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0100.5,<jats:italic>Ancylostoma<\/jats:italic>spp. 54.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a08.6,<jats:italic>T. leonina<\/jats:italic>0.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.4,<jats:italic>T. vulpis<\/jats:italic>0.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.0,<jats:italic>U. stenocephala<\/jats:italic>1.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.7 and<jats:italic>D. caninum<\/jats:italic>0.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.1. Host age was found to be a significant factor with respect to the prevalence and intensity of<jats:italic>T. canis<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>Ancylostoma<\/jats:italic>spp. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of intestinal helminth parasites between male (27.0%) and female (22.5%) dogs (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&gt;0.05). The prevalence of helminth parasites was significantly higher (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05) in the local breed (African shepherd) (41.2%) than in Alsatian dogs (16.2%) or in other exotic breeds (21.0%).
