埃塞俄比亚狼(EW)Canissimensis,是世界上最稀有的犬科动物和非洲最濒危的食肉动物,在埃塞俄比亚高地的六个孤立的栖息地碎片中发现。以前关于贝尔山国家公园(BMNP)EW中寄生虫患病率的报道有限,几乎没有关于他们的蠕虫动物的信息。这项研究旨在了解BMNP中EW中蠕虫寄生虫的患病率,埃塞俄比亚。在这项研究中,粪便样本是从Web谷(WV)的43个EW中收集的,BMNP,从2020年6月至10月,使用粪便沉降法和显微镜离心浮选法评估了蠕虫卵的存在。狼的43个粪便样本中有42个(98%)含有来自两个分类蠕虫组的卵。来自Capillariaspp的鸡蛋。和寻常毛虫最常见,其次是犬弓形虫,二叶草。,弓形虫Leonina,和嗜气毛细血管.记录了一个EW(2%),因为藏有Monieziaexpossa。43例EW中约有9例(21%)出现单特异性感染:9例EW(21%)携带2种寄生虫,9个EW(21%)托管了3种寄生虫,11例EW(26%)感染了4种寄生虫,2例EW(5%)感染了5种寄生虫,1个EW(2%)呈现6种寄生虫,1个EW(2%)携带7种寄生虫,1个EW(2%)被诊断为无寄生虫物种。并发蠕虫感染与女性EW高度相关。Megeti3与并发蠕虫感染水平低有关。在研究区域的狼中发现的蠕虫寄生虫的流行表明,环境被肠道寄生虫高度污染。定期控制EW中的寄生虫传播,家养狗,以及BMNP及其周围的人类,公共教育,必须进行进一步的寄生虫流行病学研究。
Ethiopian wolves (EWs), Canis simensis, are the rarest canids in the world and Africa\'s most endangered carnivore, found in only six isolated habitat fragments in the highlands of Ethiopia. Previous reports on the prevalence of parasites in the EW in Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) are limited, with little information on their helminth fauna. This study seeks to understand the prevalence of helminth parasites in the EW in BMNP, Ethiopia. In this study, fecal samples were collected from 43 EWs in Web Valley (WV), BMNP, from June to October 2020, and the presence of helminth eggs was assessed using fecal sedimentation and centrifugal
floatation methods with microscopy. Forty-two out of 43 fecal samples from wolves (98%) contained eggs from two taxonomic groups of helminths. Eggs from Capillaria spp. and Trichuris vulpis were found most frequently, followed by Toxocara canis, Diphyllobothrium spp., Toxascaris leonina, and Capillaria aerophila. One EW (2%) was recorded for harboring the cestode Moniezia expansa. About 9 of the 43 EWs (21%) presented monospecific infection: 9 EWs (21%) harbored 2 parasite species, 9 EWs (21%) hosted 3 parasite species, 11 EWs (26%) had infection involving 4 parasite species, 2 EWs (5%) were infected with 5 parasite species, 1 EW (2%) presented 6 parasite species, 1 EW (2%) harbored 7 parasite species, and 1 EW (2%) was diagnosed without parasite species. Concurrent helminth infection was highly associated with female EW. Megeti 3 was associated with a low level of concurrent helminth infection. The prevalence of helminth parasites found in wolves in the study area suggests that the environment is highly contaminated with intestinal parasites. Regular control of parasite transmission in EW, domestic dogs, and humans in and around BMNP, public education, and further parasite epidemiological studies must be conducted.
