[Arthropods as coproscopic findings in dogs and cats]

A review is given on arthropodes which might occur in faeces of dog and cat in Central Europe in correspondence to their route and way of infestation, including findings based on our own faecal examinations. Tables are given for the diagnosis of preimaginal stages and a key for the identification of imagines. The veterinary importance of such coprological findings as well as possible therapeutic measures are discussed.
