有300多种陆生和水生哺乳动物,伊朗被认为是一个拥有充足的动物的国家。尽管许多研究已经评估了胃肠道蠕虫寄生虫在伊朗动物和人类中的分布,肺虫没有得到足够的重视。在上一篇文章中,我们回顾了伊朗牧草和野生反刍动物肺虫感染的多样性和患病率,本报告汇编了1980年至2022年间非反刍动物和人类中肺虫发生的现有科学信息,以提供对这些感染流行病学的见解.检索了国际和国家科学数据库,在同行评审的期刊上发表了26篇文章,一份会议文件,和一篇D.V.M.论文被纳入研究。总的来说,属于七个属的10种,包括Dictyocaulus,脱胎换骨,原虫,Crenosoma,Eucoleus,Aelurostrongylus,和Metastrongylus,在人类的呼吸道或粪便中报告,家畜(即,骆驼,equids,狗,和猫),和野生动物物种(即,刺猬,野猪,和野兔)。大多数研究(22/28)是使用验尸进行的。呼吸道线虫感染的总体患病率因骆驼动物种类而异(14.83%),当量(13.31%),狗(5%)野猪(45.66%),刺猬(42.57%),和野兔(1.6%)。此外,据报道,一名9岁儿童由嗜氧Eucoleus引起的肺毛细血管病。家养骆驼中的肺虫种类的流行,equids,还有狗,加上缺乏标记的驱虫药,支持需要提高我们对这些重要线虫寄生虫的了解,并为制定可持续控制策略提供信息。从动物园和野生动物医学的角度来看,在大多数哺乳动物物种中,缺乏关于肺虫感染的存在和流行的信息,即将进行的流行病学研究,整合经典寄生虫学和分子方法。
With over 300 terrestrial and aquatic mammalian species, Iran is considered a country with an ample mastofauna. Although many studies have assessed the distribution of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in animals and humans in Iran,
lungworms have not received adequate attention. Following a previous article in which we reviewed the diversity and prevalence of lungworm infections in pastoral and wild ruminants of Iran, this report compiles the available scientific information about the occurrence of
lungworms in non-ruminant mammals and humans from 1980 to 2022 to provide insights into the epidemiology of these infections. International and national scientific databases were searched, and twenty-six articles in peer-reviewed journals, one conference paper, and one D.V.M. thesis were included in the study. In total, 10 species belonging to seven genera, including Dictyocaulus, Deraiophoronema, Protostrongylus, Crenosoma, Eucoleus, Aelurostrongylus, and Metastrongylus, were reported in the respiratory tract or feces of humans, domestic animals (i.e., camels, equids, dogs, and cats), and wildlife species (i.e., hedgehogs, wild boars, and hares). Most of the studies (22/28) were performed using post-mortem examinations. The overall prevalence of respiratory nematode infection varied according to animal species in camels (14.83%), equids (13.31%), dogs (5%), wild boars (45.66%), hedgehogs (42.57%), and hares (1.6%). In addition, pulmonary capillariasis caused by Eucoleus aerophilus was reported in a 9 year old child. The prevalence of lungworm species in domestic camels, equids, and dogs, combined with a lack of labeled anthelmintic products, supports the need to improve our understanding of these important nematode parasites and inform the development of sustainable control strategies. From a zoo and wildlife medicine point of view, there is a shortage of information about the presence and prevalence of lungworm infections in the majority of mammalian species, pending epidemiological studies that integrate classical parasitology and molecular methods.
