伊朗阿哈尔市野生家兔体内寄生虫流行及其人畜共患意义

摘要:本研究于2020年4月至6月在伊朗阿哈尔市选取30只野兔，采用武器狩猎或诱捕法测定远渡寄生虫的流行情况，并准备进行尸检。对它们实施安乐死，并检查是否有寄生虫和原生动物感染。直接从直肠采集粪便，采用沉降和浮沉技术分离卵囊或卵囊，并根据形态学鉴定孢子卵囊。12只(40%)家兔感染远藤寄生虫。在污染病例中鉴定出2种不同的线虫和1种不同的metacestata和2种不同的原生动物。检出的内寄生虫分别为:双歧通道虫(6.66%)、改形毛圆线虫(6.66%)、猪状囊尾蚴(13.33%)、大艾美耳虫(10%)、steidae艾美耳虫(3.33%)。野兔是人类寄生虫人畜共患病的潜在来源。公共卫生方面的关切表明，需要对影响作为人类食物来源的野生动物物种的人畜共患疾病进行流行病学研究。在这方面，野兔作为人畜共患寄生虫宿主的作用已被广泛记载。

期刊介绍： American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, a quarterly, peer reviewed publication and is dedicated for publication of research articles in the field of biology of animals and with the scientific understanding of how animals work: from the physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organ systems down to the structure and function of bio molecules and cells; particular emphasis would given to the studies of growth, reproduction, nutrition and lactation of farm and companion animals and how these processes may be optimized to improve animal re- productivity, health and welfare. Articles in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects and the environment also are encouraged. AJAVS is an important source of researcher to study articles on protection of animal production practices, herd health and monitoring the spread of disease and prevention in both domestic and wild animals.
