This program aimed at the treatment and control of parasitic diseases with zoonotic potential in dogs and cats, such as skin diseases caused by accarus (sarcoptic mange, notoedric mange and quieletioses), verminosis (toxicoríasís and ancylostomiasis) and carp louse plagues. In this study, the drug used had ivermectine as active principle. The program represented a contribution to the public health and also to the animals whose owners had low income in the municipality of Ibiúna. Four hundred and eighteen animals were treated in five city districts, with the following results: seventy-four animals (18%) presented clinical signals indicating skin diseases caused by accarus; a hundred and twenty animals (29%) presented clinical signals indicating verminosis; nine animals (2%) presented carp louse plagues and the remaining two hundred and fifteen animals (51%) did not present clinical signals indicating parasitic diseases. Ninety-six animals did not finish the treatment, 23% of the medicated dogs and cats in the district. As to the animals that finished the treatment, 100% presented improvements after the first prescription of the drug.Downloads
