Abstract

Giardia duodenalis is a facultative pathogenic intestinal parasite. Giardiosis in dogs and cats may appear with or without clinical signs. Typical signs include diarrhea with or without vomiting. The prevalence in young animals is high and may amount to up to 50%. There are 8 different genotypes (A - H), which are called assemblages. Assemblages C and D are most common in dogs and assemblage F most frequent in cats. However, animals may also be infected with the zoonotically effective assemblages A and B or exhibit mixed infections. The immunofluorescence test (IFA), the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and fecal centrifugation using zinc sulphate solution are currently recommended as diagnostic methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may be used to determine the corresponding assemblage. Approved treatments for giardiosis include fenbendazole and metronidazole. In addition, undertaking specific hygiene measures is warranted. Only animals showing clinical signs or those living in the same household with high-risk patients (e. g. immunosuppressed humans) are recommended to receive medication. The aim of treatment is clinical improvement of the diseased dogs and cats. Frequently, complete elimination of Giardia is not attained.

[猫和犬贾第鞭毛虫病:最新进展]。

十二指肠贾第虫是兼性致病性肠道寄生虫。贾第鞭毛虫病的狗和猫可能出现有或没有临床症状。典型症状包括腹泻伴或不伴呕吐。在幼龄动物中的流行率很高，可能高达50%。有8种不同的基因型(A - H)，它们被称为组合。组合C和D在狗身上最常见，组合F在猫身上最常见。然而，动物也可能感染人畜共患病有效组合A和B或表现出混合感染。目前推荐的诊断方法是免疫荧光试验(IFA)、酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)和硫酸锌溶液粪便离心。聚合酶链反应(PCR)可用于确定相应的组合。批准的治疗贾第鞭毛虫病的药物包括芬苯达唑和甲硝唑。此外，采取具体的卫生措施是必要的。只有有临床症状的动物或与高危病人(例如:免疫抑制的人)建议接受药物治疗。治疗的目的是临床改善患病的狗和猫。通常，完全消除贾第鞭毛虫是不可能的。

期刊介绍： Die Tierärztliche Praxis wendet sich mit ihren beiden Reihen als einzige veterinärmedizinische Fachzeitschrift explizit an den Großtier- bzw. Kleintierpraktiker und garantiert damit eine zielgruppengenaue Ansprache. Für den Spezialisten bietet sie Original- oder Übersichtsartikel zu neuen Therapie- und Operationsverfahren oder den Einsatz moderner bildgebender Verfahren. Der weniger spezialisierte Tierarzt oder Berufseinsteiger findet auf seinen Berufsalltag zugeschnittene praxisbezogene Beiträge in der Fortbildungsrubrik „Aus Studium und Praxis“. Mit dem hervorgehobenen „Fazit für die Praxis“ am Ende jedes Artikels verschafft sich auch der eilige Leser einen raschen Überblick über die wichtigsten Inhalte dieser modern konzipierten Fachzeitschrift mit den vielen hochwertigen, überwiegend farbigen Abbildungen. In jedem Heft ermöglicht ein ATF-anerkannter Fortbildungsartikel den Erwerb einer ATF-Stunde (Akademie für tierärztliche Fortbildung).
