This study aimed to assess the parasitological status of dogs living in households and evaluate their owners\u2019 knowledge about zoonoses. A total of 183 dogs from Rolim de Moura, Rond\u00f4nia State, were screened for the presence of ectoparasites, and 163 fecal samples were collected for analysis. The results showed that 74.23% (112\/163) of the animals had at least one species of endoparasite. The most identified pathogens were Ancylostoma spp. (68.71%, 112\/163), Trichuris vulpis (11.66%, 19\/163), Toxocara canis (6.75%, 11\/163), Cystoisospora canis (4.91%, 8\/163), Dipylidium caninum (1.23%, 2\/163), and Hammondia\/Neospora (0.61%, 1\/163). Ectoparasites were observed in 43.17% (79\/183) of the evaluated animals, with Rhipicephalus sanguineus found in 31.15% (57\/183) and Ctenocephalides felis felis in 20.77% (38\/183). Only 11.48% (7\/61) of the owners were familiar with the term \u201cZoonoses.\u201d However, a significant majority (83.61%, 51\/61) believed that dogs can transmit diseases to humans. Our findings highlight the prevalence of parasites in the studied area and associated risk factors, underscoring the urgent need for educational interventions to raise awareness about these diseases and their risks to human health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21020138","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]],"date-time":"2024-01-26T04:05:46Z","timestamp":1706241946000},"page":"138","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Parasitosis in Pet Dogs from Rond\u00f4nia, Amazon Biome, and Human Perception of Zoonoses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6739-7071","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Talita Oliveira","family":"Mendon\u00e7a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic Diseases Laboratory (LabEPar), Departament of Pathology, Reproduction, and One Health (DPRSU), School of Agricultural and Veterinary Studies (FCAV), S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Jaboticabal 14884-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3896-7554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia Parreira","family":"Perin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic Diseases Laboratory (LabEPar), Departament of Pathology, Reproduction, and One Health (DPRSU), School of Agricultural and Veterinary Studies (FCAV), S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Jaboticabal 14884-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dayane da Silva","family":"Zanini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (FMVZ), S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu 18618-681, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hort\u00eancia Laporti","family":"de Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal University of Rond\u00f4nia (UNIR), Porto Velho 76801-974, RO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulo Henrique Kanopp","family":"Pires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal University of Rond\u00f4nia (UNIR), Porto Velho 76801-974, RO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Igor Mansur","family":"Muniz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal University of Rond\u00f4nia (UNIR), Porto Velho 76801-974, RO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Hairton","family":"Tebaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic Diseases Laboratory (LabEPar), Departament of Pathology, Reproduction, and One Health (DPRSU), School of Agricultural and Veterinary Studies (FCAV), S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Jaboticabal 14884-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds Antonio","family":"Mathias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic Diseases Laboratory (LabEPar), Departament of Pathology, Reproduction, and One Health (DPRSU), School of Agricultural and Veterinary Studies (FCAV), S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Jaboticabal 14884-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karina Paes","family":"B\u00fcrger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic Diseases Laboratory (LabEPar), Departament of Pathology, Reproduction, and One Health (DPRSU), School of Agricultural and Veterinary Studies (FCAV), S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Jaboticabal 14884-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3958-7227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Estevam G.","family":"Lux-Hoppe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic Diseases Laboratory (LabEPar), Departament of Pathology, Reproduction, and One Health (DPRSU), School of Agricultural and Veterinary Studies (FCAV), S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Jaboticabal 14884-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"813","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pt.2017.05.013","article-title":"Zoonotic parasites of sheltered and stray dogs in the era of the global economic and political crisis","volume":"33","author":"Otranto","year":"2017","journal-title":"Trends Parasitol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.18605\/2175-7275\/cereus.v10n3p27-37","article-title":"Preval\u00eancia de parasitas intestinais em c\u00e3es triados no centro de controle de zoonoses de Gurupi, Tocantins","volume":"10","author":"Nunes","year":"2018","journal-title":"Rev.
