The endoparasites occurrence in felines confined in two Zoos, between December 1999 and April 2000, was studied. Fecal samples of 18 felines (_Panthera tigris, Panthera leo, Felis serval, Panthera onca, Puma concolor, Leopardus tigrinus_ and _Leopardus wiedii_) were collected and the methods of Faust, modified Baermann and Hoffmann, were used for fecal analyses. Three genera were identified in the feces: _Trichuris_ spp., _Toxocara_ spp. and _Giardia_ spp. In the zoo of Pomerode, six animals (46%) were infected by _Trichuris_ spp. and/or _Giardia_ spp. and all samples from the zoo of Brusque were infected by _Trichuris_ spp., _Toxocara_ spp. and _Giardia_ spp. |
