宠物兔肠道寄生虫感染情况调查

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Pet Rabbits

为了解宠物兔肠道寄生虫感染情况,采用卢戈氏碘液染色法和饱和蔗糖溶液漂浮法对1个宠物市场和2个宠物兔场的305份兔新鲜粪便样品进行检查。结果检出肠道寄生虫5种,总感染率为71.2%,其中球虫感染率最高,为47.2%,隐孢子虫、贾第虫、圆线虫和栓尾线虫感染率分别为2.0%、3.9%、29.5%和1.0%;不同采样点和不同年龄段宠物兔肠道寄生虫的感染率统计学差异均极显著(P<0.01),寄生虫感染随年龄增长呈递减趋势。数据表明宠物兔肠道寄生虫感染率较高,且存在人兽共患机会性原虫,应加强其寄生虫病的防治。

To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in pet rabbits,a total of 305 fresh faecal specimens from one pet market and two pet rabbit farms were examined using the sheather＇s sugar flotation technique and Lugol＇s iodine-solution staining method.Five intestinal parasites were detected with the overall infection rate was 71.2%.Among which,Coccidium spp.had the highest prevalence（47.2%）,in contrast,the infection rate of Cryptosporidium spp.,Giardia spp.,Strongylid spp.,and Passalurus ambiguus was 2.0%,3.9%,29.5%,1.0%,respectively.The prevalence rate associated with different sampling locations and different age groups was significant by statistical analysis（P0.01）,with the overall prevalence of parasites declining with increasing age.The present study indicated that pet rabbits had a higher prevalence of intestinal parasites and some of which were zoonotic protozoon.Thus,prevention and curing of parasitic disease should be strengthened.
