Dogs are important animals that serve in transmission of E. granulosus; they also play a major role as vectors for many zoonotic parasite, bacteriae and viruses in the Sudan. The current study reports on presence of gastrointestinal helminthes with emphasis on E granulosus. During a rabies control campaign, conducted in 2011 at Nyala South Darfur State, 117 stray dogs investigated. Postmortem examination revealed that, 95.7% of examined animals were infected with one or more GIT parasite worms. The worms identified in dogs were: Ancylostoma caninum (62.4%), Dipylidium caninum (1.7%), Taenia spp. (89.7%) and Echinococcus granulosus (6.8%). No difference in the prevalence was observed between young and old dogs. Although male dogs had higher worm burdens than females, no difference in susceptibility was found between male and female dogs. Moreover, no differences in the prevalence was observed between the southern and northern areas of Nyala although the infected dogs of the northern areas had higher worm burdens than those in the South. Thus, open abattoirs and clandestine slaughterhouses appear to be the main reasons for the high prevalence of canine echinococcosis in the study area.
