Abstract

A cross-sectional survey was undertaken to study the prevalence and intensity of infection with Toxocara cati in 100 stray cats, from April to October 2004 in urban areas of Sari, northern Iran. A total of 44 cats (44%) were found to be infected with T. cati. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of infection relative to host age and weight (P = 0.000). There was also a significant difference in the intensity of infection relative to body weight and urban sites (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the prevalence of infection relative to host gender, urban sites and season (P>0.05), nor in the intensity of infection between host gender, age and season (P>0.05). The intensity of infection ranged from 1 to 32 worms per cat, with a mean of 7.30 +/- 6.82.

摘要

2004年4月至10月，在伊朗北部萨里市的市区对100只流浪猫进行了一项横断面调查，以研究猫弓首蛔虫的感染率和感染强度。共发现44只猫（44%）感染了猫弓首蛔虫。感染率相对于宿主年龄和体重存在显著差异（P = 0.000）。感染强度相对于体重和城市地点也存在显著差异（P < 0.05）。相对于宿主性别、城市地点和季节，感染率之间未发现显著差异（P>0.05），宿主性别、年龄和季节之间的感染强度也未发现显著差异（P>0.05）。感染强度为每只猫1至32条虫，平均为7.30 +/- 6.82。
