Abstract

Lucrarea are ca scop identificarea speciilor parazitare și determinarea indicilor parazitologici la pisicile (Felis catus) cu habitat interior din municipiul Chișinău. În urma investigației au fost identificate 8 specii de paraziți, încadrate în 4 clase, 6 familii și 8 genuri. Clasa Conoidasida a inclus Cystoisospora felis (8,99%), Toxoplasma gondii / Hammondia hammondi (5,62%) și Sarcocystis spp. (1,12%), cu o prevalență totală de 15,70%. Clasa Chromadorea a fost dominantă, fiind reprezentată de Toxocara cati (13,48%), Ancylostoma caninum (6,7%) și Toxascaris leonina (4,5%), ceea ce confirmă predominanța nematodelor. Clasa Cestoda a fost reprezentată de Dipylidium caninum (2,25%), iar clasa Arachnida de Rhipicephalus sanguineus (1,1%). Prevalența totală a infecției parazitare a fost de 39,3%, cu predominarea clasei Chromadorea (27,0%), urmată de Conoidasida (15,70%), Cestoda (2,25%) și Arachnida (1,1%).
