dc.description.abstractGastrointestinal parasites of cats can affect animal health and welfare, as well as human health because of some zoonotic parasites including Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium spp., Isospora spp., Blastocystis sp., and Toxocara spp. Therefore, it is fairly important to investigate the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in stray cats in order to reveal the frequency of parasite diseases and to prevent the spread of parasitic diseases. A total of 465 feces samples were collected from Veterinary Clinics located in 5 different districts of İzmir. For microscopic examination, all feces samples were processed by centrifugation-sucrose flotation. In addition, cat feces with diarrhea were stained by the by Kinyoun acid-fast staining for the diagnosis of Cryptosporidium spp. As a result, 73 of 465 (15.6%) cats were found to be infected with at least one of the following parasites: Blastocystis sp., Isospora spp., Cryptosporidium spp., Toxoplasma gondii-like oocyte, Toxocara spp., Hymenolepis spp. and Dipylidium caninum. Among the studied stray cats, Blastocystis sp. was detected as the most prevalent protozoon parasite (10.5%) in stray cats. Overall, the results show that stray cats are a significant source for distribution of various parasite diseases to humans and animals in İzmir, Turkey.en_US
