Intestinal parasite prevalences in dogs and cats: a decade of retrospective data from a reference veterinary laboratory in Madrid, Spain
These findings highlight the importance of parasite control for purposes of both animal and public health, and emphasize a need for regular faecal testing, deworming and improving owner awareness of parasites. To minimize zoonotic risks and improve pet health management, we would recommend standardizing diagnostic procedures and designing suitable veterinary interventions.
