Resumen
El presente trabajo de investigación que se realizó entre los meses de agosto a octubre del 2015, tuvo como objetivo principal la determinación de la prevalencia del parásito gastrointestinal Toxocara canis en muestras de heces de 300 perros domésticos de la ciudadela Martha de Roldós de la ciudad de Guayaquil, las cuales fueron procesadas y analizadas en el laboratorio de la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad de Guayaquil, empleando el método coproparasitológico de flotación de Willis, dando como resultado que del total de perros muestreados el 17.3 % dieron positivo a Toxocara canis. Con relación a la edad, los perros más afectados fueron los del rango pertenecientes a menores de seis meses con un 94.2 %, en cuanto a la relación con el sexo del animal, no hubo una significancia importante, ya que las hembras positivas fueron de 51.9 %, mientras que en los machos fue de 48.1 %. Con todo esto se concluye que los cachorros menores de seis meses, sin importar su sexo, siempre serán los más afectados por este tipo de parásitos. Por lo cual se recomienda realizar una correcta desparasitación en los cachorros y en las madres gestantes
