Horses are herbivores that spend almost all day grazing. While grazing they are infected by different Endoparasites through ingestion of infective eggs or larvae on pasture. The most significant equine Endoparasites in Sweden are the equine roundworm Parascaris equorum, small (Cyathostominae) and large strongyles (Strongylus spp), the tapeworm Anoplocephala perfoliata and the pinworm Oxyuris equi. For many years have horses been dewormed on regularly basis, which has resulted in the development of resistance to many anthelmintic classes. Because of the problems with resistance it is since 2007 necessary to have a prescription on anthelmintics and faecal sampling is also recommended.

The cat has become a popular pet. To secure a prosperous cat-human relationship, the cat owner has to understand what kind of animal the cat is and what requirements need to be fulfilled. The purpose of this literature review is to summarize kittens? needs of socialization, anthelmintics, nutrition, vaccination and gonadectomy, until the age of six months and to give the cat owner information on how to care for the cat during this period. Articles were search for in ScienceDirect, Primo and Scopus.

Målet med studien var att utföra en prevalensundersökning av endoparasiter i träck från vuxna svenska hundar. Urvalskriterierna var hundar över ett år från hushåll med maximalt tre hundar, varav två tilläts delta. Hundarna skulle vara friska samt obehandlade med anthelmintika och endektocider minst tre månader före provtagningstillfället. Provtagningsmateriel delades ut på djursjukhus och mindre kliniker runtom i landet. Djurägarna ombads att fylla i en remiss med frågor om ras, ålder, kön, hundens användningsområde, avmaskningsstatus, om hunden haft möjlighet att fånga bytesdjur och/eller om den vistades på hunddagis. Proverna samlades in under perioden januari till oktober 2014.
