摘要

体外寄生虫通过其摄食行为和促进继发性感染或细菌感染,可严重影响野生动物物种。在这里,我们报告了两例由非洲猎豹(Acinonyx jubatus)的伊克斯蜱虫感染引起的眶周损伤,包括野生动物中罕见的创伤性蝇病记录。这两只猎豹最近被重新引入莫桑比克中部的Marromeu-Coutada综合设施,并遭受了相对严重的伤害。表面上看,这使他们免疫功能低下,因此更容易受到蜱虫的侵扰,特别是当接触到新物种时。这些事件发生在湿热季节的高峰期,成年蜱虫的丰度可能最高。这些案例为重新引入的猎豹蜱虫侵扰的风险提供了新的见解,并提供了密集的释放后监测的重要性,以便及时进行兽医干预。贡献:本研究在本期刊范围内。由于相关的直接损害和蜱传病原体的潜在传播,伊克斯蜱对整个非洲的野生动物和家畜具有重要的兽医意义。本研究调查了最近重新引入热带环境的猎豹中蜱虫感染的两个案例。确定的危险因素似乎是暴露于新的体外寄生虫,伤害和炎热潮湿的季节。这突出了在规划野生动物迁移时考虑外寄生虫风险的必要性。

Incidents of high tick load in injured cheetahs after reintroduction into a tropical ecosystem.

Ectoparasites can severely impact wildlife species, both through their feeding behaviour and by facilitating secondary infestations or bacterial infections. Here, we report on two cases of periorbital damage caused by ixodid tick infestations in cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), including a rare record of traumatic myiasis in wildlife. Both cheetahs were recently reintroduced to the Marromeu-Coutada Complex in Central Mozambique and had sustained relatively severe injuries. This ostensibly yielded them immunocompromised and thus more vulnerable to tick infestations, particularly when exposed to novel species. These incidents occurred during the peak hot-wet season in which adult tick abundance is likely highest. These cases provide novel insights into the risks of tick infestations for reintroduced cheetahs and the importance of intensive post-release monitoring to allow for timeous veterinary intervention.Contribution: This study falls within the scope of the journal. Ixodid ticks are of veterinary importance for wildlife and domestic animals across Africa because of the associated direct damage and potential spread of tick-borne pathogens. This study investigates two cases of tick infestations in cheetahs recently reintroduced into a tropical environment. The identified risk factors appear to be exposure to novel ectoparasites, injuries, and the hot-wet season. This highlights the need to consider ectoparasite risk when planning wildlife translocations.

期刊介绍: The Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, is the official publication of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute. While it considers submissions from any geographic region, its focus is on Africa and the infectious and parasitic diseases and disease vectors that affect livestock and wildlife on the continent.
