A pathological and epidemiological study on infection on 25 wild boars in southwestern Iran was done. Overall 24 helminthes (18 female and 6 male) were collected from the intestine of 13 infected wild boars. Thus, the prevalence of acanthocephalans among the 25 examined boars was 52 %. Pathological evaluation revealed damages caused by the acanthocephalans penetrated in the small intestine tissue. Helminthes caused severe necrosis with ulcer and inflammation in tunica sub mucosa layer. High prevalence of this helminthic infection may cause severe hazard for farmers, residents and also wild life animals.
对伊朗西南部25头野猪感染情况进行了病理学和流行病学研究。共从13头受感染野猪的肠道中采集到24条蠕虫(18条雌性和6条雄性)。因此,在25头被检查的野猪中棘头虫的感染率为52%。病理学评估显示,棘头虫穿透小肠组织造成了损伤。蠕虫在黏膜下层引起严重坏死,并伴有溃疡和炎症。这种蠕虫感染的高发生率可能会给农民、居民以及野生动物带来严重危害。
