Dogs are the most popular pets worldwide. Close contact between dogs and people
increases the risk of transmission of various zoonotic parasitic infections. Given the importance of
veterinary medicine in preserving the One Health concept, the aim of this research was to identify
intestinal parasites that may have zoonotic potential and to evaluate risk factors (individual and
environmental). The research was conducted in Serbia in 2022 and 2023 on 382 owned dogs, using
qualitative methods of coprological examination with a concentration on parasitic elements. The overall
prevalence of intestinal parasites was 62.6%, with the following detected: protozoa: Cystoisospora
spp. (9.2%), Sarcocystis spp. (4.5%), Neospora caninum/Hammondia spp. (3.7%), Giardia intestinalis
(11.8%); nematoda: Toxocara canis (11.5%), Toxascaris leonina (4.2%), family Ancylostomatidae (38.0%),
Trichuris vulpis (21.5%), Capillaria spp. (10.5%); trematoda: Alaria alata (1.6%) and cestodes from the
Taeniid...ae family (1.3%). Factors like age, size and coat length, as well as the way of living, attitude
and diet were linked to a significantly higher (p < 0.05) prevalence of intestinal parasites. Based on the
results of coprological diagnostics, this research indicates the importance of educating dog owners,
conducting routine parasitological tests on their pets and regular deworming strategies.
