Abstract
Due to a high canine mortality experienced in the year 1764 in the town of Madrid, the Royal Court of Protomedicate and the Matritense Medical Academy were ordered by the authorities to study and find out the origin and nature of the disease. In the different reports, diverse pathological alterations were described in the necropsies performed in dogs, but among all the most relevant findings found were the presence and description of a great variety of numerous internal parasites, to which however both institutions did not attribute the cause of such mortality. The communication includes some data on the current prevalence of these canine endoparasites identified in our country.
