Pojedine intestinalne nematode pasa i mačaka pokazuju zoonozni potencijal, pa samim tim imaju javno-zdrastveni značaj. Na teritoriji grada Banja Luke je pregledano 149 uzoraka (131 od pasa i 18 od mačaka), s tim da je 40 uzoraka fecesa pasa sakupljeno sa dvije javne površine u gradu. Parazitološkim pregledom (flotacija sa zasićenim rastvorom cink sulfata i determinacija adulta i larvi parazita u fecesu) dobijeni su sledeći rezultati: Toxocara canis (9,16%), Ancylostomatidae (5,34%), Trichuris vulpis (7,63%), Toxascaris leonina (1,52%), Toxocara cati (33,3%), Trichuris spp. (5,5%) i Hydatigera taeniformis (5,5%). Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata možemo zaključiti da su intestinalne nematode u daleko većem stepenu raširene nego što se pretpostavljalo i da zbog toga predstavljaju zdrastveni problem kod pasa i mačaka na teritoriji Banja Luke. Some intestinal nematodes of dogs and cats show zoonotic potential, and therefore they are of public-health significance. In the territory of the city of Banja Luka, 149 samples were examined (131 of dogs and 18 cats), with 40 samples of dog feces collected from two public areas in the city. Parasitological examination (saturated zinc sulfate floatation and determination of larvae and adult parasites in feces) resulted in the following data: Toxocara canis (9.16%), Ancylostomatidae (5.34%), Trichuris vulpis (7.63%), Toxascaris leonina (1.52%), Toxocara cati (33.3%), Trichuris spp. (5.5%) and Hydatigera taeniaeformis (5.5%). On the basis of the obtained results we can conclude that the intestinal nematodes are more widespread than is generally assumed and therefore represent a health problem for dogs and cats in the territory of Banja Luka.
