title: Rural origin, age, and endoparasite fecal prevalence in dogs surrendered to the Regina Humane Society, 2013.
abstract: We report the results of fecal parasite surveillance in dogs surrendered to the Regina Humane Society, Saskatchewan, Canada, between May and November 2013. Overall, 23% of 231 dogs were infected with at least 1 intestinal parasite. Endoparasite infection was positively associated with rural origin (P = 0.002) and age (< 12 months; P < 0.001).
