During 2011, faeces from 235 owned domestic cats from a rural area in western Hungary were examined using standard coproscopical techniques. The overall prevalence of cats with endoparasites was 39.6% (95% CI 33.3-46.1). The most frequently identified faecal forms were those of ascarids (Toxocara, 17.4%; Toxascaris 7.2%), followed by those of Aelurostrongylus lungworms (14.5%), hookworms (11.1%), taeniid cestodes (4.7%), Cystoisospora coccidians (4.3%), and capillarids (3.8%). Single and multiple infections with up to five parasites concurrently were founded in 24.7% and 14.9% of the cats, respectively. Mixed endoparasite infections were recorded more frequently (p=0.0245) in cats greater than one year old compared to younger cats. Young cats (≤ 1 year) were parasitized more frequently (p<0.05) with ascarids and Cystoisospora spp. but demonstrated infections of hookworms, lungworms and taeniid cestodes less often than the older cats. Cats with taeniid infection were more likely (p<0.05) to harbour Toxocara, hookworm, Aelurostrongylus, and capillarid infections than cats without taeniid cestodes. Cats of owners who claimed the use of wormers were less frequently helminth-positive compared to cats whose owners did not use anthelmintics (21.2% vs. 44.4%; p=0.001). A subset of 115 faecal samples screened by a coproantigen ELISA revealed Giardia-specific antigen in 37.4% samples. Giardia cysts were found by immunofluorescent staining in 30 of the 43 samples tested positive for Giardia by ELISA. In addition, ectoparasites collected from 82 cats by body search and combing were identified. Fleas (1-30 per cat), biting lice (Felicola subrostratus), and ticks (1-5 per cat) were isolated from 58, 1 and 43 cats, respectively. Ctenocephalides felis was identified on all flea infested cats while single specimens of C. canis and Pulex irritans were recovered from three and two cats, respectively. All but one tick collected were adult Ixodes ricinus; the single other tick was a nymph of I. canisuga. By providing basic data on the epidemiology of parasitic infections, the results of this survey should emphasize the need of attending to parasites of cats from the veterinary point of view with respect to both appropriate diagnostics and control.
2011 年，使用标准的粪便镜检技术对匈牙利西部一个农村地区的 235 只家养猫的粪便进行了检查。患有内寄生虫的猫的总体患病率为 39.6%（95%CI 33.3-46.1）。最常发现的粪便形式是蛔虫（Toxocara，17.4%；Toxascaris，7.2%），其次是肺线虫（Aelurostrongylus，14.5%）、钩虫（11.1%）、带绦虫（4.7%）、等孢球虫（4.3%）和毛细线虫（3.8%）。24.7%和 14.9%的猫分别存在单一和多种寄生虫感染。与年龄较小的猫相比，大于 1 岁的猫混合内寄生虫感染更为常见（p=0.0245）。年轻的猫（≤1 岁）感染蛔虫和等孢球虫的频率更高（p<0.05），但感染钩虫、肺线虫和带绦虫的频率低于年长的猫。感染带绦虫的猫更有可能（p<0.05）感染蛔虫、钩虫、肺线虫和毛细线虫，而没有带绦虫的猫则不然。与未使用驱虫药的猫相比，主人声称使用驱虫药的猫的寄生虫阳性率较低（21.2%比 44.4%；p=0.001）。用粪便抗原 ELISA 检测的 115 份粪便样本中有 37.4%检测到贾第虫特异性抗原。在通过 ELISA 检测为贾第虫阳性的 43 份样本中，有 30 份通过免疫荧光染色发现了贾第虫包囊。此外，还从 82 只猫身上通过身体搜索和梳理收集了外寄生虫。从 58、1 和 43 只猫中分别分离出 1-30 只跳蚤、猫栉首蚤（Felicola subrostratus）和蜱（1-5 只/猫）。在所有有跳蚤的猫身上都发现了猫栉首蚤，在 3 只和 2 只猫身上分别发现了犬栉首蚤和人虱。除了一只有成虫的蓖子硬蜱（Ixodes ricinus）外，收集到的所有蜱均为成蜱；唯一的另一只蜱是犬栉首蚤的若虫。本研究提供了寄生虫感染流行病学的基本数据，结果强调了兽医从适当的诊断和控制角度关注猫寄生虫的必要性。
