Sumario:The last 20 years have witnessed a great technological progress along with important cultural and social changes that have improved some aspects of both human and animal health. However, zoonotic diseases caused by dog intestinal parasites persist as a commonplace public health concern in developing countries and as an increasing problem in developed ones. The effectiveness and security of the new drugs available for the prophylaxis and control of parasites has not hindered the emergence of parasitic infection as a serious problem in pets. This review aimed to examine some of the more important intestinal parasites of dogs involved in zoonotic diseases and to highlight issues associated with their diagnosis. The main purpose is to advise veterinarians in clinical practice concerning their importance as a public health agent in preventing and controlling dog zoonotic diseases through the correct use of antiparasite drugs and by educating pet owners.
