• We determined the prevalence of primarily zoonotic parasites in the small intestines of 40 (20 males and 20 females) red foxes living near human dwellings. The total prevalence of parasite infection was 77.5 % (31/40); the prevalence was 37.5 % (15/40) for and 35 % (14/40) for . The mean intensity infection was 3 and 11 helminths for and , respectively. The prevalence of other intestinal helminths and mean infection intensity in this study are given: 40 % (16/40) with 1000 individuals, spp. 40 % (16/40) with 8 individuals, 10 % (4/40) with 8 individuals, and 10 % (4/40) with 1 individual. With regards to prevalence and intensity of infection, as well as prevalence of individual parasites, there were no significant differences (P≥0.05) between male and female red foxes.
