Abstract

Infections with GI nematodes often cause outbreaks of disease which is a major concern resulting in huge economic losses. There is vast economic impact of T. vitulorum and it mostly affects buffalo calves due to its survivability and causes heavy economic losses in India. In this study a total of 500 faecal samples of Murrah buffalo calves were examined having age below 3 months to know the status of T. vitulorum in Mumbai region. Out of 500 faecal samples 56 samples were positive for Toxocara vitulorum, Among the 6 age groups made, Group 1 (00 to 15 days), Group 2 (16 to 30days), Group 3 (31 to 45 days), Group 4 (46 to 60 days), Group 5 (61 to 70 days) and Group 5 (76 to 90 days) showed prevalence of T. vitulorum, 13.09%, 13.68%, 17.97%, 11.84%, 06.25% and 03.26% respectively. In sex wise prevalence of T. vitulorum, out 247 faecal samples of male buffalo calves, 33 (13.36%) found positive and out of 253 faecal samples of female buffalo calves 23 (09.09%) were found positive for T. vitulorum infection. The EPG counts were found significantly increased during 1 to 2 months of age which subsequently decreases.

水牛犊牛蛔虫病的主要诱发因素是年龄而非性别：印度孟买的证据

消化道线虫感染通常会导致疾病爆发，造成巨大的经济损失，这是一个令人担忧的重大问题。T.vitulorum对经济影响巨大，由于其存活率高，它主要影响水牛犊，并在印度造成严重的经济损失。本研究共检测了 500 头 3 个月以下的 Murrah 水牛的粪便样本，以了解孟买地区的 T. vitulorum 感染情况。在 500 份粪便样本中，56 份样本的Toxocara vitulorum呈阳性，在 6 个年龄组中，第 1 组（00 至 15 天）、第 2 组（16 至 30 天）、第 3 组（31 至 45 天）、第 4 组（46 至 60 天）、第 5 组（61 至 70 天）和第 5 组（76 至 90 天）的T. vitulorum感染率分别为 13.09%、13.68%、17.97%、11.84%、06.25% 和 03.26%。按性别划分，在 247 份雄性水牛犊牛的粪便样本中，33 份（13.36%）呈阳性；在 253 份雌性水牛犊牛的粪便样本中，23 份（09.09%）呈阳性。EPG计数在水牛1至2月龄时明显增加，随后逐渐减少。
