20.500.12556/DKUM-79797 Problematika bolhavosti pri psih Flea infestations in dogs Bolhavost je najpogostejša zajedavska bolezen pri psih. Povzročajo jo 2-3 mm velike brezkrile žuželke iz rodu Siphonaptera, ki živijo v kožuhu gostitelja. Prehranjujejo se z njegovo krvjo in mu s tem povzročajo nelagodje, srbenje ter v nekaterih primerih tudi alergijsko vnetje kože. Ker informacij o tem, kako sistematično se v Sloveniji tega problema lotevajo lastniki psov, primanjkuje, smo želeli ugotoviti razširjenost pojavljanja bolh pri psih ter ozaveščenost lastnikov psov o problematiki bolhavosti na območju SV Slovenije. Podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo ankete, v kateri je sodelovalo 99 lastnikov psov, in kliničnega pregleda 145 naključno izbranih živali. Rezultati ankete kažejo, da preko 90 % lastnikov psov (n=92) uporablja sredstva za zatiranje bolh, pri čemer se jih le tretjina poslužuje redno. Večina lastnikov psov za zatiranje bolh uporablja sredstva v obliki ampul ali tablet, ki jih kupuje pri veterinarju in o njihovih stranskih učinkih ne dvomi. Čeprav je le 46 % lastnikov psov, ki bolhe zatirajo, seznanjenih, da pes prenaša pasjo trakuljo (katere vmesni gostitelj je tudi človek), jih kar 77 % zatira tudi notranje zajedavce. Delež lastnikov, ki bolhe zatira sistematično, je le 33 %; večina jih sredstva uporablja le sezonsko, ne glede na dejstvo ali s psom sobivajo ali ne. Ugotovljena razširjenost pojavljanja bolhavosti je v SV Sloveniji relativno nizka (12 %) in primerljiva z ostalimi evropskimi državami. Na podlagi rezultatov diplomske naloge lahko sklepamo, da bi bilo potrebno lastnike psov bolj intenzivno ozaveščati o problematiki bolhavosti in o pomenu sistematičnega zatiranja bolh. Flea infestation is the most common parasitic disease in dogs. It is caused by 2-3 mm large wingless insects from the genus Siphonaptera that live within the coat of the host. They feed with hosts blood, causing him discomfort, itching and, in some cases, allergic skin inflammation. Since there is a lack of information on how systematically dog owners address this problem in Slovenia, the aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of fleas in dogs and the awareness of dog owners about the problem of fleas and the diseases transmitted by fleas. Data were collected by means of a survey of 99 dog owners and a clinical examination of 145 selected animals. The results of the survey showed that over 90 % of dog owners (n=92) use flea repellents, with only a third of them using them regularly. The majority of respondents possess only a dog (≈60 %), while the rest mostly also cats, which increases the risk for flea infection. The share of dogs living inside is 30 %, while the rest live only outside (32 %) or mixed (38 %), which also increases the risk for flea infection. Most dog owners use flea ampoule or tablet remedies that they buy from a veterinarian and have no doubts about their side effects. Although only 46 % of dog owners who eradicate fleas know that the dog transmits also canine tapeworm (for which human is an intermediate host), 77 % also suppress internal parasites. The share of owners, who systematically eradicates fleas is only 33 %, the majority of them uses repellents only seasonally, regardless of the fact whether they live with the dog or not. The observed prevalence of flea infestation is relatively low (12 %) and comparable to other European countries. Based on the results of the thesis, we can conclude that dog owners should be more intensively informed about the problematic of flea infestation and the importance of systematic flea control. bolhe pes okolje stopnja okuženosti zatiranje fleas dog environment infestation rate eradication true true false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Diplomsko delo/naloga 2021-08-17 20:05:42 2021-09-02 13:57:48 2022-08-09 22:04:00 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 Maribor 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 74977539 VS_Veingerl_Karin_2021.pdf VS_Veingerl_Karin_2021.pdf 1 2158FDEE8BB3728239DB1830DC77697B 1819b665ac64f5b8cbbf96df2b034ba92d828ad5de652e5f1fe70c143a934eb9 ee911342-ff86-11eb-9697-00155d581298 20.500.12556/dkum/6e4fb0f6-0e98-4456-85d8-0a870314ae87 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=151835 Fakulteta za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede 0 0 0
