Endoparasitic Diseases in Breeding Kennels: A Frequent and Complex Problem Requiring a Holistic Approach
Résumé
All over the world, kennels are held by different kinds of breeders: occasional, regular hobby, and professional breeders. Even if these dog breeders have various breeding practices, manage canine populations of very different sizes, and have various final purposes (i.e., companion dogs or working dogs), all conscientious breeders of dogs have the same priority: the health and wellbeing of their animals. Although parasites are extremely common pathogens in all dogs, they are particularly problematic in breeding kennels as they can interfere with breeding performance and the health of dogs. This review aims to explain why breeding kennels are predisposed to parasitic infestations, how the most common parasites can influence dog breeding performance and health, and how to prevent parasite infestations in this specific environment.
