SUMMARY:

Canines and felines provide several benefits to society, contributing to the well-being and social, physical and emotional development of their owners. However, the advantages of this coexistence can be lost if the animals' health is not adequately preserved. People in a hoarding situation are characterized by excessively accumulating objects and/or animals, living in extremely precarious conditions. In turn, quilombola communities, historically oppressed, suffer from basic health problems, associated with precarious living and housing conditions and lack of environmental sanitation. Therefore, the precarious sanitary conditions of these populations contribute to the spread of pathogens, especially those with zoonotic potential. Due to the scarcity of studies, the objective of this study was to identify gastrointestinal parasites (GIP) of canines and felines from people in hoarding situations and quilombola communities in the municipality of Garanhuns, with a view to identifying GIP with zoonotic potential. To this end, visits were made to quilombola communities to collect fecal people in hoarding situations were identified in the urban area of the municipality. The samples were processed by modified Sheather flotation (with 1.3d hypersaturated sucrose solution) and centrifugal-flotation with zinc sulfate (1.18d) methods. The clinical aspects of the animals studied were also evaluated. Of the 95 fecal samples analyzed, eggs of the following nematodes were detected in 54.74% (52/95): Ancylostoma spp. (52.63%), Strongyloides stercoralis (3.16%), Toxocara canis (2.11%) and Trichuris vulpis (1.05%). With the exception of T. vulpis, the other GIP identified have zoonotic potential. The majority of animals (92.31%) were parasitized by a single species of parasite and the modified Sheather flotation technique proved to be more efficient in detecting GIP. The clinical signs found in parasitized animals were: weight loss (17/52; 32.70%), cachexia (9/52; 17.31%), decreased appetite (11/52; 21.15%), diarrhea (10/52; 19.23%), vomiting (3/52; 5.77%), pale mucous membranes (5/52; 9.61%), weakness (2/52; 3.85%), apathy (3/52; 5.77%) and presence of parasites in feces (1/52; 1.92%). The parasitized animals were sent for veterinary assistance at the zoonosis control center and the owners of animals parasitized by GIP with zoonotic potential were sent to Primary Care. Close contact with pets and contaminated environments, combined with behaviors and habits related to hygiene, facilitate the transmission of zoonoses, especially for socioeconomically vulnerable populations. Multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary and intersectoral actions, within the One Health approach, are necessary
