The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is the government body that regulates and makes recommendations for controling infectious diseases.  Infections that humans can acquire from animals are called zoonotic (zoe-o-not-ick).  Annual fecal (stool) examinations are recommended for all pets, not just because parasites can affect your pet, but also the possibility of transmission to their owners. The CDC has information about these zoonotic diseases and associated risks on their website.
