The present study was carried out to describe the epidemiological aspects of gastrointestinal helminthic infections of canids in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, the central western part of Iran.
Forty nine canid species including, dogs, jackals, foxes and wolves were included in this study. The contents of their alimentary canal were inspected in order to isolate and identify the parasitic helminthes of this system. To identify the worms, the Soulsbey and Anderson identification key and light microscopy were used.
Based on necropsy findings, 35 (71.4%) of examined animals were infected with at least one helminth. The prevalence of identified worms was as follows: Mesocestoides lineatus (55.1%), Joyeuxiella echinorinchoides (26.5%), Taenia hydatigena (12.2%), T. multiceps (8.2%), T. ovis (2%), Dipylidium caninum (2%) and Spirura spp. (2%). No significant difference was noticed between the sampling areas, age and helminth infection. Only a significant difference was observed for prevalence of T. multiceps in wolf (25%), dog (21.4%), jackal and fox (0%), respectively (P < 0.05).
The canids in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari harbor several parasites that some kind of them have zoonotic importance and may pose a threat to community health specially in rural areas.
本研究旨在描述伊朗中西部恰哈马哈勒-巴赫蒂亚里省犬科动物胃肠道蠕虫感染的流行病学特征。
本研究纳入了49种犬科动物，包括狗、豺、狐狸和狼。检查它们消化道的内容物，以分离和鉴定该系统中的寄生蠕虫。使用索尔兹比和安德森鉴定指南及光学显微镜来鉴定蠕虫。
根据尸检结果，35只（71.4%）受检动物感染了至少一种蠕虫。已鉴定蠕虫的感染率如下：线状中绦虫（55.1%）、棘吻乔伊绦虫（26.5%）、泡状带绦虫（12.2%）、多头带绦虫（8.2%）、绵羊带绦虫（2%）、犬复孔绦虫（2%）和旋尾线虫属（2%）。在采样区域、年龄和蠕虫感染之间未发现显著差异。仅观察到多头带绦虫在狼（25%）、狗（21.4%）、豺和狐狸（0%）中的感染率存在显著差异（P < 0.05）。
恰哈马哈勒-巴赫蒂亚里省的犬科动物体内有多种寄生虫，其中一些具有人畜共患病的重要性，可能对社区健康构成威胁，特别是在农村地区。
