Abstract

Fourteen of 30 stray dogs examined from Ismailia City, Egypt were infected with one or more species of intestinal trematodes, including Mesostephanus appendiculatus, Mesostephanus milvi, Mesostephanus fajardensis, Echinochasmus liliputanus, Heterophyes dispar, and Pygidiopsis genata. The morphology of each species was compared with earlier descriptions and a key to the identification of canine intestinal trematodes in this geographic region was developed.
