This study was conducted in northern Côte d’Ivoire to investigate pig gastrointestinal parasites infections. For this purpose, a total of 210 faecal samples were collected from 5 localities of Korhogo’s department to inventory gastrointestinal parasites species and to determine their infections prevalences taking account risk factors as sex, age group and locality. Out of 210 faecal samples, 75 animals were found to be positive with various gastrointestinal parasites infections contributing an overall prevalence of 35.71%. The results revealed that eight parasites taxa were prevalent during the study period including Hyostrongylus rubidus (17.14%), Globocephalus urosubulatus (10%), Eimeria sp (8.10%), Ascaris suum (6.13%), Strongyloides spp (3.33%), Oesophagostomum dentatum (3.33%), Stephanurus dentatus (2.38%) and Trichuris spp (1.43%). Among sampling localities, the highest overall pigs gastrointestinal infection prevalence (44.44%) was observed in Tioro subprefecture while the lowest (27.66%) were noticed in Sohouo’s one. Those results showed that Gastro-intestinal parasites are widely spread in the studied areas of Korhogo region during dry season.
