A total of 238 pig fecal specimens were collected from pig farms in Corlu (Tekirdağ), Ayazma, and Arnavutköy (Istanbul) during the summer. Out of the 238 pig specimens, 105 were from pigs younger than 6 months and 133 from pigs older than 6 months. These were investigated for intestine parasites in particular the ones that are human pathogens. Cryptosporidium spp. was detected In 21 fecal specimens (8.8%), Giardia spp. in 9 (3.7%), Balantidium coli cysts in 4 (1.6%) and Ascaris suum eggs in 9 (4.1%). Giardia lamblia were found in 8 (7.6%) of 105 pigs younger than 6 months, Cryptosporidium spp. in 12 (11.4%), Balantidium coli cysts in 2 (1.5%). In the pigs older than 6 months Giardia lamblia were found in 1 (0.7%), Cryptosporidium spp. in 9 (6.7%), Balantidium coli cysts in 2 (1.5%). and Ascaris suum eggs in 9 (6.7%). The difference in the rate of G. lamblia (p=0.01) in pigs less than 6 months and of A. suum in those over 6 months was found to be statistically significant (p=0.005). Our results revealed that pigs are important sources of these parasites.
夏季期间，从科鲁（泰基尔达）、阿亚兹马以及阿尔纳武特科伊（伊斯坦布尔）的养猪场共采集了238份猪粪便样本。在这238份猪样本中，105份来自6个月龄以下的猪，133份来自6个月龄以上的猪。对这些样本进行了肠道寄生虫调查，特别是对那些可感染人类的病原体进行了检测。在21份粪便样本（8.8%）中检测到隐孢子虫属，9份（3.7%）中检测到贾第虫属，4份（1.6%）中检测到结肠小袋纤毛虫包囊，9份（4.1%）中检测到猪蛔虫卵。在105头6个月龄以下的猪中，8头（7.6%）检测到蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫，12头（11.4%）检测到隐孢子虫属，2头（1.5%）检测到结肠小袋纤毛虫包囊。在6个月龄以上的猪中，1头（0.7%）检测到蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫，9头（6.7%）检测到隐孢子虫属，2头（1.5%）检测到结肠小袋纤毛虫包囊，9头（6.7%）检测到猪蛔虫卵。发现6个月龄以下猪的蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫感染率（p=0.01）与6个月龄以上猪的猪蛔虫感染率（p=0.005）差异具有统计学意义。我们的结果表明，猪是这些寄生虫的重要来源。
