Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Captive animals are susceptible to parasitic diseases due to the stress and confinement they experience. In addition, they can serve as reservoirs of zoonotic parasites that have the potential to infect humans. To investigate this possibility, we estimated the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in captive mammals at Khon Kaen Zoo, Thailand.
UNASSIGNED: One hundred and forty-seven individual mammals (37 primates, 43 carnivores, 62 herbivores, and 5 rodents) were examined for parasitic infections by fecal examination daily for 3 consecutive days using the formalin-ethyl acetate concentration technique (FECT) and the agar plate culture method.
UNASSIGNED: According to FECT, the overall prevalence of GI parasites was 62.6% (92/147). Within animal groups, the numbers were as follows: 67.6% (25/37) in primates, 23.3% (10/43) in carnivores, 85.5% (53/62) in herbivores, and 80.0% (4/5) in rodents. Using the agar plate culture method, 21.43% (27/126) were positive for Strongyloides spp. and hookworm infections. The GI parasites identified belonged to three categories: protozoa (including Entamoeba histolytica species complex, Entamoeba coli, Giardia spp., coccidia, and ciliated protozoa), trematodes (minute intestinal flukes and rumen flukes), and nematodes (strongyle/hookworm, Strongyloides spp., Ascarididae, and Trichuris spp.).
UNASSIGNED: The findings of this study indicate the prevalence of several GI parasites in zoo animals with the potential for transmission to humans, given the animals\' close proximity to both visitors and animal caretakers.

摘要：
■圈养动物由于经历的压力和禁闭而容易患寄生虫病。此外,它们可以作为有可能感染人类的人畜共患寄生虫的水库。为了调查这种可能性，我们估计了孔敬动物园圈养哺乳动物的胃肠道（GI）寄生虫的患病率，泰国。
■一百四十七种哺乳动物（37种灵长类动物，43个食肉动物,62种食草动物,和5只啮齿动物）使用福尔马林-乙酸乙酯浓缩技术（FECT）和琼脂平板培养方法连续3天每天通过粪便检查检查寄生虫感染。
■根据FECT，胃肠道寄生虫的总体患病率为62.6%(92/147).在动物群体中，数量如下:灵长类动物的67.6%(25/37)，食肉动物占23.3%(10/43)，食草动物占85.5%(53/62)，啮齿动物占80.0%(4/5)。采用琼脂平板培养法,21.43%(27/126)的阳性表达为类圆线虫。和钩虫感染。确定的胃肠道寄生虫属于三类：原生动物（包括溶组织内阿米巴物种复合体，大肠杆菌内阿米巴，贾第虫。,球虫,和纤毛原生动物)，吸虫（微小的肠吸虫和瘤胃吸虫），和线虫（strongyle/钩虫，类圆线虫属。,蛔虫科,和Trichurisspp.).
■这项研究的结果表明，动物园动物中几种胃肠道寄生虫的流行，有可能传播给人类，鉴于动物与游客和动物看护人都非常接近。
