Abstract

Some gastrointestinal (GI) protozoa and helminths in cats are clinically significant and pose zoonotic risks. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in owned and stray cats in Eryaman, Ankara, and to evaluate associated epidemiological and clinical factors. Fecal samples from 100 cats (48 owned, 52 stray) brought to a private veterinary clinic in Eryaman, Ankara, were examined. Descriptive, clinical, and laboratory data were recorded. Macroscopic examination was performed for adult helminths and cestode segments, and samples were transferred to Selcuk University Parasitology Laboratory for further analysis. Fulleborn flotation, Benedek sedimentation, and Baerman-Wetzell techniques were used. GI parasites were detected in 62% of cats. Helminths included Toxocara spp. (20%), Joyeuxiella spp. (1%), and Fasciola spp. (1%); protozoa included Giardia spp. (47%) and Cystoisospora spp. (10%). Among infected cats, 77% had mono-infections, 20% dual, and 3% triple co-infections. Prevalence was 58.3% in owned cats and 65.3% in stray cats, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). Age and gender were also not statistically associated with infection rates (P > 0.05). Due to the close contact between cats and humans, these findings highlight a public health concern. Regular veterinary check-ups and antiparasitic treatments are strongly advised to reduce transmission risks.
