Abstract
A parasitological study was carried on faecal samples obtained from intestinal segments of dogs killed for human consumption at Mami Market Area, Sokoto, Nigeria. Faecal samples of 40 different local dogs were analyzed using concentration techniques for the presence of Oocysts, eggs, larvae and adult parasites. Twenty nine (29), representing 72.5% of the samples were positive for one form of parasite or another comprising of fifteen (15) different parasite species.
