Abstract

Trichinella pseudospiralis belongs to the non-encapsulated clade of the genus and its epidemiology is influenced by various biotic and abiotic factors. The role of different animal species in the spread and epidemiology of the parasite is still not well understood and further research is needed in the areas where its occurrence has been recorded. In Slovakia, T. pseudospiralis was first documented in 2004 on a poorly maintained industrial pig farm where pigs, rats, and a domestic cat were found to be infected. In the following years, its occurrence was confirmed in foxes, wild boars, and three species of birds of prey. The objective of the present study was to investigate different micromammal and carnivore host species inhabiting the Tatra National Park in the north of Slovakia for the presence of Trichinella parasites. From 2018-2023, 715 small mammals belonging to 19 species and 92 muscle samples from 12 carnivorous species were individually examined for the presence of Trichinella muscle larvae using the artificial digestion method. The research brought new host records and completed the list of sylvatic hosts for T. pseudospiralis in Slovakia - the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) and raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) together with results of the genetic structure study conducted on a fragment of the 28S gene in T. pseudospiralis.

对中欧斯洛伐克假螺旋体毛细线虫的宿主多样性、遗传变异和流行病学的贡献。

伪螺旋毛线虫属于无包囊属，其流行病学受各种生物和非生物因素的影响。不同动物种类在该寄生虫传播和流行病学中的作用尚不十分清楚，需要在有该寄生虫发生记录的地区开展进一步研究。在斯洛伐克，2004 年在一个维护不善的工业化养猪场首次记录到伪螺旋体，发现猪、老鼠和一只家猫受到感染。随后几年，狐狸、野猪和三种鸟类也被证实感染了该病毒。本研究的目的是调查斯洛伐克北部塔特拉国家公园中栖息的不同小型哺乳动物和食肉动物宿主物种中是否存在旋毛虫寄生虫。从2018年至2023年，采用人工消化法对19个物种的715只小型哺乳动物和12种食肉动物的92份肌肉样本进行了单独检查，以确定是否存在肌肉毛滴虫幼虫。这项研究带来了新的宿主记录，并完成了斯洛伐克假螺旋体寄主的名单--黄颈鼠（Apodemus flavicollis）和浣熊犬（Nyctereutes procyonoides），以及对假螺旋体28S基因片段进行的遗传结构研究结果。

期刊介绍： The journal Veterinary Parasitology has an open access mirror journal,Veterinary Parasitology: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. This journal is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of the journal. Papers of geographically limited (local) interest which are not of interest to an international audience will not be accepted. Authors who submit papers based on local data will need to indicate why their paper is relevant to a broader readership. Parasitological studies on laboratory animals fall within the scope of the journal only if they provide a reasonably close model of a disease of domestic animals. Additionally the journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may act as disease reservoirs to domestic animals, or as a zoonotic reservoir. Case studies considered to be unique or of specific interest to the journal, will also be considered on occasions at the Editors'' discretion. Papers dealing exclusively with the taxonomy of parasites do not fall within the scope of the journal.
