Annotation
A total of 55 domestic cats (Felis catus f. domestica) and one wild (Bengal) cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) from the Vientiane Province, central Laos, were examined for helminth parasites with emphasis given to potential human parasites. A total of 16 species of helminths were found. This study demonstrated that examination of cats may provide useful data on the occurrence of helminths which are potential causative agents of human disases.
