To understand the prevalence of Capillaria hepatica in rodents from Wuhan section of the Yangtze River marshland.
Rodents were trapped in Jiang'an section of Wuhan marshland of the Yangtze River. The livers of the rodents were examined for pathological changes by unaided eyes and the liver tissues were examined for the eggs of C. hepatica by a microscope.
According to the natural conditions, the investigation was carried out in 6 survey areas. Each survey area was placed with 60 mousetraps, and all 360 mousetraps were recovered. A total of 31 rodents (rodent density 8.61%) were captured and examined, including 24 Apodemus agrarius, 3 Rattus norvegicus, 4 Sorex caecutiens, and C. hepatica eggs were found in 1 R. norvegicus (1/3) and not found in A. agrarius, and S. caecutiens.
This study has documented a prevalence of C. hepatica in rodents from Wuhan section of the Yangtze River marshland where is a natural epidemic focus of capillariasis hepatica.
了解长江湿地武汉段啮齿动物肝毛细线虫的感染情况。
在长江武汉段江岸区湿地捕捉啮齿动物,肉眼观察肝脏病理变化,显微镜检查肝组织中肝毛细线虫虫卵。
根据自然条件,在6个调查区域开展调查,每个调查区域放置60个鼠夹,360个鼠夹全部回收。共捕获并检查31只啮齿动物(鼠密度8.61%),其中黑线姬鼠24只、褐家鼠3只、臭鼩鼱4只,褐家鼠中1只(1/3)检出肝毛细线虫虫卵,黑线姬鼠和臭鼩鼱未检出。
本研究证实长江湿地武汉段为肝毛细线虫病自然疫源地,该区域啮齿动物存在肝毛细线虫感染。
