Abstract

Sarcocystis infection was detected in 93% of horses in Mongolia. Using the compress method, sarcocysts were found in the muscles of the diaphragm, heart and tongue in 40 of the 43 horses that were slaughtered at the Makh Impex Meat Company in Ulaan Baatar in July 1998. The muscle of the tongue showed the highest rate (97.5%) of infection. The distribution of sarcocysts in the muscles was positively correlated with horse age; the rate of detection was significantly lower (p=0.01) in the under 10 year old group than the older group. All horses were apparently healthy and were slaughtered for human consumption.

摘要

在蒙古国，93%的马匹检测出感染了肉孢子虫。采用压片法，于1998年7月在乌兰巴托的马赫进出口肉类公司屠宰的43匹马中，有40匹马的膈肌、心脏和舌头肌肉中发现了肉孢子虫。舌头肌肉的感染率最高（97.5%）。肉孢子虫在肌肉中的分布与马的年龄呈正相关；10岁以下组的检出率明显低于年长组（p=0.01）。所有马匹表面上都很健康，是为供人类食用而屠宰的。
