Importance of parasitic control contamination of grassy area in urban environment: Belgrade experience

Abstract

Permanent increase number of pets and stray dogs in cities, presence actual epidemiological problem to spread of zoo noses. Numerous dogs at limited urban area, especially where dogs are infected with parasites, accomplish possibility to spread of parasitic infection. Dogs in both population, fifth its faces permanent smutty grassy areas and streets. How the numerous dogs were infected with parasites transmitted via faces, those present permanent epidemiological danger to human health, especially to children's. In aim of resolve those problem at first we must to present a regular parasitological control of grassy areas and dog faces found there how we initiate epidemiological situation and start with eradication and sanation of those problems. In our paper we present Belgrade experience, where those examination were performed continually until 1993.

Stalno povećanje broja pasa u gradovima, kućnih ljubimaca i lutalica predstavlja aktuelni epizootiološki i epidemiološki problem sa aspekta prenošenja zoonoza. Prisustvo velikog broja životinja na ograničenom prostoru grada pogotovu ako su nosioci endo i ektoparazita, ispunjava uslove za pojavu, širenje i održavanje pojedinih parazitskih infekcija. Psi iz obe populacije, svojim izmetom stalno prljaju zelene površine i ulice grada tako da izazivaju gađenje ljudi. Kako je velika većina pasa inficirana zoonotskim parazitima prenosivim putem izmeta oni predstavljaju evidentnu epidemiološku opasnost po zdravlje ljudi, posebno dece. U cilju rešavanja ovog problema osnovno polazište je redovna parazitološka kontrola zelenih površina i izmeta pasa koji se zatekne na njima kako bi se dobio uvid u epidemiološko situaciju i pristupilo sanaciji i eradikaciji ove kontaminiranosti. U našem radu dajemo prikaz iskustava Beograda u kome se ovakva parazitološka kontrola kontinuirano vrši od 1993.godine.
